About The Swim Academy

We love seeing children, youth, and adults improve their skills to swim safer, faster, and more confidently. We enjoy watching swimmers overcome small successes as well as big ones. There is nothing like a child floating on their back for the first time and the grin on their face from ear-to-ear with sense of accomplishment and excitement. Or an athlete who "feels" the water differently and because of it swims a faster 100 pace time or drops 2-3 minutes off their 1000 time. Every step is a success!

Definitely recommend! My son is almost 6 and we definitely should have started earlier with him. He had Lincoln as his teacher and it was great. My son had a couple tantrums that were pretty bad and Lincoln handled it very well. There were a few forms to sign in the beginning for waivers and such, but was all done online and through email. We did 10 lessons having him go almost every day for two weeks. I think this helped to repetitively be in the pool. We would also work with him, on the things he learned, outside of lessons at our rec center pool.

We loved our experience with the Swim Academy. We had 2 different teacher and loved both of them. They are really good at listening to any suggestions or complaints and then working to change to be better. They helped my son overcome fears of the water and progress in becoming more water safe. We are excited to stay with The Swim Academy for a while!!

They hire the most amazing swim teachers. My child loved each and every one. The lessons are pricey, but the progress my child made in less than a year was unbelievable.

We have loved taking our daughter to The Swim Academy! Every teacher we've had has been awesome. Our daughter was scared of the water and she is making great progress. She is floating and putting her face in and swimming out to the teacher! The teachers are good at giving suggestions and ideas for things we can work on at home and at a pool. Practicing what they suggest in-between lessons has helped a lot! The office staff are super busy but always get back to us. We'll stay for a long while! Thanks!!

My daughter was supposed to start and then I never heard from them? I tried emailing and calling for 5 days. Very unprofessional. Very frustrating.
