Be more personable and descriptive in what’s being offered, and what I would be paying for, instead of being extremely short. If I’m paying for service, I would like to know what I’m paying for. If there are options I would like to know what those are if I’m speaking to you about it I am new to Thumbtack and I’m not fully familiar with how this all works yet .

We love Dana! She is such an amazing swim instructor. I learned how to swim just after two lessons. She is very professional and obviously knows what she is doing.
Dana is an excellent coach, she provides detailed instructions while making it easy to understand.
I’ve had a wonderful experience learning swimming from Dona. She is patient, knowledgeable, and always create a positive and encouraging environment. Thank you Dona for your service.
Dana is fabulous. She is very capable and is a calming presence as I overcome my fear of swimming. Her technique is superb because she begins with the basics for survival. I’m only two lessons in and I’ve learned and overcome so much. I highly recommend her. I’d also add that her firm, yet professional manner provides the confidence I needed knowing she is there with me and will help keep me safe.
I had a great experience with this Ms. Dana . she was always patient, knowledgeable, and made every lesson feel encouraging. she explained techniques clearly, gave helpful feedback, and built my confidence in the water with each session. I noticed real improvement in my swimming because of their teaching style. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve your technique, I would highly recommend her . Thank you
Excellent experience all around! Do not hesitate to work with Dana - she is professional and an incredible teacher/coach! Improved my stroke and breathing technique after two lessons.
Dana is an excellent and skilled instructor. I appreciate her approach to teaching.
Dana makes you feel so comfortable swimming. Her techniques are simple but effective. My daughter and I are taking lessons and are seeing progress every time. I definitely recommend her for anyone who has tried before with someone else and just hasn’t gotten it. I’m finally getting it!
10 out of 10 recommend! Dana was amazing! She responded quickly, super easy to work with, and made scheduling a breeze. My daughter had a fantastic time and picked up skills so much faster than she ever did at the big swim schools. Dana made her feel safe and confident in the water, and we’ve already signed up for another month. Highly recommend her one-on-one lessons. So valuable.
