We absolutely loved everything about Swim Life! Both Cassie and David were AMAZING. My daughter still talks about her friend Cassie! Truly grateful. There are lakes all over my neighborhood and a child in my neighborhood died two years ago drowning in a pond near the playground. Thank you for helping keep my children safe!!!!!!

Swim life did an amazing job with my child and the skills that she was able to learn in a short time span - I would say it was almost miraculous. I love the communication and the advice that I could use to practice with my daughter. I love that the lessons are personalized which was something that was lacking in her previous swim lessons.

The swim coaches were phenomenal with both of our girls. They were so patient and kind. Our girls always left excited about what they learned and couldn't wait for their next lesson. Thank you to coach Cassie and David. Y'all were the absolute best with our girls. They still talk about you all and how much fun the swim lessons were.

My son drowned at 1.5 years old and previously I spent Thousands on swim lessons and he never picked it up, he just couldn’t swim. I was terrified if he was around water at the age of 11. It was heartbreaking. Then we got to survival lessons and with coach David it clicked! The way he explained things to him and demonstrated it was amazing. He can now swim and has attended his first pool party where I calmly sat outside of the pool with no worry (okay minimal worry, but now that’s gone!!) Coach David was more than you could ask for in a swim coach, just absolutely amazing!

The coaches took the time to get to know the students, they were patient and we felt our children were in good hands! A perfect introduction to the water, Swim Life helped my children be less afraid of the water and gave them important survival skills.
