SwimGuru

"After failed attempts to teach my 3 year old to swim and doing YMCA classes that were not helpful (blowing bubbles doesn't teach kids anything) I decided to bite the bullet and go all in on Swim Guru. I wish we did this sooner - it is absolutely worth the cost and effort. My kid was terrified of the pool but in 4 weeks of intense 15 minute lessons he is diving under water and doesn't want to get out of the water. Molly and team have a phenomenal program. This isn't high schoolers leading a swim class in their free time. These are professionals who truly know what they are doing and teach kids to respect the water and the danger it presents. To sum it up - you can spend a year at the YMCA floating your kid around the pool and pretending they are learning something or you can do Swim Guru and actually teach your kids how to survive in the water within a few weeks."

"Our 3-year-old daughter went from being terrified of the water to safely swimming. We've worked with both Molly and Hilary as coaches. They are excellent at what they do and artfully balance building confidence and helping kids work through new/uncomfortable experiences in the water."

"I had the privilege of being coached by Stefania Escoz(Coach Stef), and I can confidently say that she's absolutely exceptional. Stef embodies patience and encouragement like no other. She possesses the remarkable ability to understand precisely where you are in your swimming journey and meets you there, making every lesson feel tailor-made. Stef's motivation is truly infectious, driving you to give your best. What sets her apart is the homework she assigns, which proved instrumental in helping me improve significantly. Her teaching style is remarkable, as she breaks down techniques into easily digestible morsels, ensuring you not only understand but can execute them in the water. One thing you can always count on with Stef is her warm smile, which welcomes you every session and immediately puts you at ease. Thanks to her unwavering support and guidance, I went from having a fear of the water on day one to confidently swimming on my own in just eight classes. At 35 years old, it's an accomplishment I never thought possible, and I owe it all to Stef's expertise and encouragement. She's an absolute gem of a swim coach, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to embark on their own aquatic journey. I would also like to thank SwimGuru that made it possible for me to connect with an excellent swim coach and schedule my sessions based on my availability and comfort."

"Just had our first lesson with Hillary. It was wonderful. Little is afraid of her head going into the water but Hillary was so calm and soothing and the first 15 minute lesson was hard but daughter came out being proud she dunked her head in 5 times. Every kid is different but we feel we needed this method for our pandemic kid as we weren't equipped to teach her ourselves and we are so happy with Hillary. Yes, 15 minute lessons are annoying to drive to and from, but I do see how that delivers the max amount of exertion and mental capacity for my kid. Looking forward to the other lessons. Money very well spent!"

"Helen and Emma are excellent swim instructors! It has been so exciting to see my 4 and 6 year old learn how to swim in just a few classes. The instructors, Helen and Emma, are absolutely wonderful. they both are excellent with their communication skills and are able to keep both boys calm when they are scared or are about to cry. both Coach Helen and Coach Emma have a gift for teaching swimming. It feels like a great investment since we feel it is important to teach water safety at a very young age. both boys can float and swim and attend classes at LA Fitness or Underwater Sports, both places very close to each other on Hwy 99. again, I am extremely impressed with their ability, skills and professionalism to provide quality instruction to our kids. Our kids now love both coaches and look forward to swim class twice a week. we are extremely happy with Swim Guru and feel very lucky to have found such excellent instructors who are great at teaching kids the basics of swimming and floating. It's money well spent and we are extremely happy at Swim Guru."
