FLOAT Swim Academy

"My son started Chelsea’s class at Float Swim Academy just after turning 3. He had little to no water skills, used floaties to swim at all times, and would barely tolerate his face in the water. By then end of the first day Chelsea helped him conquer his fear of putting his head under water and he was shallow diving for “treasures” in the water on the steps. By the end of day 5 of her class my son was diving down to the bottom of 3 ft, floating and kicking his way back to the surface. He could climb up the side of the pool and jump back in. He was swimming short distances from the steps to the middle of the pool with minimal assistance. Most importantly he had no fear and was so excited each day to return! At the end of each lesson he would sit with her and enjoy a sucker in his towel as she gained his trust through positive reinforcement. Not to mention the space she has created is adorable! Can’t recommend Float Swim Academy enough!"

"This was hands down the absolute best swim experience! I could truly go on and on about how fantastic Chelsea is….she is smart, patient, and dedicated to turning your little one into a swimmer. The value we got was so worth it. My 6 year old son didn’t know how to swim when we started and was swimming the length of the pool and floating on his own by the end of the lessons. We had done swim lessons at the Kroc but didn’t get the same level of instruction or results. Even if your little one is young and fearful Chelsea knows exactly what to do to ease their fears and move them forward. She’s truly incredible — she’s certainly got a talent for this!"

"Highly recommend Chelsea for teaching littles how to swim and become confident in the water. 30 min sessions for 5 days a week was absolutely perfect for us. My son went in a little timid and ended the lessons with confidence in his new skills. Chelsea does a phenomenal job in teaching but also is so encouraging and supportive of the swimmer. She goes to their level and is so kind to them, when mastering skills. I recommend Chelsea, 100%!"

"I am truly impressed by Chelsea’s ability to get little kids to swim and not be afraid of the water. My kiddo had a hard morning on day 2 before swim class because she was scared (naturally), but once she got in the water with Chelsea all the tears went away and she had fun! My 3 year old daughter had so much progress in one week. She went from never putting her face in the water to finding treasure with her face in the water breathing out through her nose, and swimming to Chelsea all on her own, climbing out of the pool, and even floating on her back on her own. Her comfortability and skill in the water from day 1 to day 5 was night and day. Chelsea is a child whisperer and has a way about her that makes kids feel calm and safe while pushing them to do things they are capable of. Highly recommend! I already have my kiddo signed up for winter and 2024 summer classes. Even if your kiddo cries and is scared at first, keep bringing them because it gets better and they love it! Swimming is such an important safety skill kids need to know."

"My three kids (ages 7, 4, & 2) took lessons with Chelsea this past week and I am so blown away by the progress they made! It was truly incredible to watch. Chelsea is so patient and kind with the kids. I absolutely love that lessons are one on one and free from the distractions of others. My oldest had taken group lessons previously from another entity and made zero progress. By the end of the week with Chelsea, he was swimming the length of the pool! I highly recommend Chelsea! We will certainly be back for another round of lessons. Thank you so much Chelsea!!"
