An updated review from 5 stars. We have been a loyal Swimkids’s family for SIX years. My first was in the infant survival class and advanced to many classes after. My second also did the infant survival class and the toddler course and was doing well until a move and arrival of our third child. An hour one way drive for classes was not ideal and we decided to put things on hold. Two years later I decided the hour drive was worth it for survival classes for our youngest and a refresher for our middle who became intimidated with floating. Needless to say it did not go well at all. Middle child was immediately taken to the middle part of the pool where he began to cry and show distress. Nadyne began to yell “you don’t know what that means” in his face while he shouted “he was scared”. Looking back I should have just taken him out immediately. Should he have confidently floated? Absolutely. Could they have eased him in the pool and established trust before throwing him in a very scary situation for a child? Yes. Other instructors looked uncomfortable as well while they were being shouted at to not go easy on him for the next class. Swimming can be enjoyable while teaching skill and not fear. Needless to say I paid for the class and took my kids out. Which I shouldn’t of even paid for to be honest. My kid all the way home said he never wanted to swim again. Just no excuse. We have since been back in a pool and my middle child floats. Do better. No child deserves to be intimidated and dismissed in a swimming pool by a grown adult while they are in a vulnerable state. I think the program is amazing and valuable. The other instructors have treated my children with incredible respect and it’s unfortunate that the issues seem to stem from the one person who should be trusted the most here. Naydne is wonderful with infants. I will leave it at that. I’ve seen this situation happen numerous times with other families in the years I have sat on the side. It hits different when it’s your own. I hope your company can truly make strides to improve the one thing that seems to be the continuing issue. If more than one person is saying it, it’s probably true. Best of luck.

My 2.5 year old son is enrolled in survivor swim with Kierston. She is amazing with him! He has autism, so I wasn’t sure how it would all go but knew it was important that he learn how to float/swim. He is learning so much more than I ever thought was possible! Kierston is so patient and knowledgeable. He and her are like two peas in a pod! :-)

Coach Debbie and Coach Jayden(Instructors)are simply exceptional! From day one, my son felt comfortable, safe and taken care of while learning survival skills in the water. The management is accommodating and truly provides a personal touch. I wish we would have found them sooner.

My daughter started at another swim school after 6 months she could barely float on her back, the instructors just wemt through the motions. We then heard of SwimKids and within the first week she was kicking amd swimming on her own with the instructors really encouraging her and building up her confidence. They really learn and adjust to your child to help them succeed in learning to swim. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a great swim school.

My wife and I and brought our daughter here for several years. She started in survival classes and has worked her way. My daughter has done the best with coach Debbie and Jayden, but all the staff and instructors are wonderful. We had previously used swim schools closer to our house, but we're not having much luck with getting my daughter interested and improving her skills. The 25 minute drive for us is worth it
