I highly recommend Ms. Allison enough as a swim instructor. My 4-year-old son started lessons with her a few months ago, and the progress he’s made is incredible. She’s warm, patient, and has such a gentle way with young kids, making them feel comfortable right from the start.
During each 30-minute lesson, she’s fully focused on the kids, and it’s clear how much she cares about helping them succeed. Thanks to her guidance, my son now floats on his own and has totally overcome his fear of water. He actually loves swimming now and can’t wait for his lesson every week. Ms. Allison has been a true gift for us!
We just moved to New York and our son Samuel (2.5 years) joined the Swimbabies class and loved it so much! The teacher Luke makes him feel comfortable and know how to win trust even though Samuel is not speaking English yet. In a very playful and positive way Samuel is learning skills and confidence and just got promoted to the SwimTots class, with thanks to Luke and the cheerful support from other SwimJim employees along the pool!
Naomi is a wonderful instructor she is very talented when it comes to dealing with kids. Her patience and dedication is highly shown every class. My son swimming has improved so much since joining her class.
