My son has been in swimming lessons since he was 6 months old, now 2, he has completed many sessions and is becoming quite the little swimmer. The semi-private class has work great for us, being in a small group of 4 students, with shared one-on-one time for each student. Teach America to Swim is a great program, and we are lucky to have such a program in our community!!! A special thanks to Sabrina & Sarah, two great teachers, who have taught our son so much!!!

This course was not only educational but also enjoyable. I had an amazing time with the instructors and others in the class and feel confident in using the skills I learned in the future. I highly recommend this course to anyone considering getting lifeguard certified!
