Dolphin Academy Swim School

"My girls looked forward to their classes. The instructors for the little ones are engaging and good with children."

"The staff is wonderful and the facility is clean! Our daughter is 3 years old and has always refused to put her head anywhere near water. However, after 3 sessions at Dolphin Academy she is completely submerging her head! It was like a flip of a switch. Now she is in the Tadpole class swimming on her own without our assistance and she is learning so fast. if you want your child to excel this is the academy for you."

"After 4 months of lessons, our 5 yr old child has not progressed very far. She has no basic survival skills and has only learned streamline with no paddling, floating on stomach, and putting her head underwater (holding breath for 8 seconds or so). She still cannot tread water on her own. Many swim lessons by other companies in the US do 2-4 day swim lessons for 30 minute sessions for 2 weeks and provide decent swimming improvement. Dolphin Academy is catered more to long term technical swimming training and only does one 30 minute lesson a week. If you are looking for a program to build confidence in the water, this is it. Our child was already comfortable before starting here though. But if you want your child to be able to swim on their own at a reasonable pace, you should look elsewhere. We were told that some kids take a year or more to learn basic swimming techniques here. If we were better informed as to how their program was structured, we would have chosen a different location. For the price they charge, we certainly expected better basic swimming survival skills. They do have very attentive, caring coaches but we believe their program structure is not conveyed properly."

"We've been with dolphin academy for 6 months. Faculty and staff are friendly. However if you want your child to advance in swimming good luck. My daughter is a good strong swimmer and was advancing at the YMCA after every class. At dolphin I was there for 6 months and no advancement and they do the same thing every class. I would love for my daughter to be on a team but I felt like dolphin academy was holding her back and not teaching her the new skills she needs."

"Our daughter always has a great time when she comes here. She loves her teacher."
