What Our Parents Are Saying...

"Kelley is amazing with kids and is an expert at teaching your child how to be comfortable and safe in the water. I trust her fully with my child and appreciate that she knows how to get his attention, talk to him, and encourage him. I’ve definitely learned some tricks from her. Also, everyone who works here is great... friendly, professional, and kind."

- Parker V.

"The swim safety program is excellent and it's spectacular to watch these littles master skills that offer them chances if they ever find themselves in water."

- Beccah L.

"In 10 Days my son (1yr 2mo) achieved his independent back float and is able to go underwater, turn over onto his back and float (still needs practice to become consistent of course, but the understanding is there)! IN 10 DAYS!"

- Allyson A.

"Lincoln really enjoys swimming and is constantly praised by other parents at his skill level for being just 4!  I always recommend swimbabes there isn’t another program I am aware of that teaches children so effectively in skills and safety!! It is truly an amazing program!"

- Tisha S.

"The teachers are great, and really work with your child to get them over any fears they have. My youngest is 3, and she already is on her way to being a great swimmer. I can’t say enough about the dedication and knowledge for swimming the staff has. I highly recommend SwimBabes!"

- Sarah L.
