    Sean W
  • Both our boys instructors were amazing. Our 3 year old did such a great job at his second class and listened so well to his instructor. They were both so patient and the boys had a great time learning to swim.
    Nikki V
  • My son had a great experience. He was super happy and confident. Lucas was very good and patient with my son when jumping around like a salmon and not listening to him sometimes. Everything was organized and clean. Great environment and I liked the extra detail of having bags to take the wet stuff home.

Students are evaluated at each lesson by our trained staff to determine their skill levels using Big Blue’s curriculum. It is not uncommon for swimmers to move up levels quickly if they have previous swim experience.
