Fin 2 Swim

"Calvin is an amazingly enthusiastic, patient, friendly and talented instructor. We feel so confident knowing our daughter has the survival skills necessary when near the water. Living in Southern California, water safety is a must. So grateful for Fin 2 Swim!"

"Thank you Calvin for helping my grandkids become water safe. You have taught them to not only swim safety skills but how to dive down to collect the toys you threw in our deep end for our 5 year old and our 3 year old to also dive to collect these toys in the middle of the pool what a huge accomplishment! Our granddaughter who is 21 months knows how to float and make it to the side of the pool. If anyone is looking for the greatest teacher it is Calvin you will not be disappointed and my grandkids could not wait for Calvin time and we’re so sad that Thursday June 3,2021 was their last lesson. We will be doing refreshers with Calvin! Thank you again Calvin you truly are amazing! Thank you for making and keeping my grandkids happy and loving to swim! The Tilley - Probe Family"

"Coach Calvin is amazing with my girls. He is kind, patient and super friendly. We started lessons last summer and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Both girls (3 and 5 years old) have learned to swim and float on their backs. Coach Calvin’s teaching methods are very effective and your child will learn how to swim in no time! Fin 2 swim for the win!"

"We are so happy we decided to do swim lessons with Calvin for our two young boys. We started last summer with our oldest who is now 3.5 (so started when he was around 2.5) and he's totally swim safe now (and mastered the float last summer!) We started with our youngest this summer - who is 1.5 and he's floating like a champ 3 weeks in! We are so glad we stuck with Calvin and his method. He is such an amazing and positive swim instructor. I was nervous because my oldest was really resistant to swim lessons at first and screamed the whole lesson the first week (or two?! I blocked out the memory). I wasn't sure he would ever come around and I am so glad I didn't give up on him because now he gets upset when it is time to get out of the pool. I never believed Calvin that would happen eventually at first! What a relief to have two swim safe toddlers. Truly amazing! Thank you for everything you do Calvin! -Ellen Pridgen"

"My boy started survival swim at 18 months old (2017). Calvin is a very patient teacher and understands the development of infants/children as they reach certain milestones (teething, walking, etc). He does correlate their milestones in how they progress with survival swim or general swim lessons. I'm impressed with his patience, fun & positive attitude, especially with all age categories. You can tell he loves his job and he enjoys hanging with the kiddos. In the pool it’s just Calvin and the student. No other distractions and parents watches from outside the pool at a distance. He welcomes photography and videos although he warns parents that their child will cry during the 10 minute lessons but only because he puts them in swim scenarios that teach them techniques. These techniques will help save them in an event they fall into a pool unexpectedly. Calvin gauges when the child is ready for the complete clothes test. This is where they are dressed in full Winter and Summer clothes. They are then observed as they get into the pool and tested to see if they utilize the techniques taught in their course. I strongly recommend Calvin and Fin2Swim. He teaches young infants as well. He can do private lessons at your personal pool but generally he coordinates locations for you to attend with other parents at specific sites. He's always on time and if on the rare occasion he is late he will try and communicate as soon as he can. Survival swim is so important especially since the summer months are approaching! I highly recommend Calvin from Fin2Swim"
