I am so thankful that we found The Hocken Family Swim Academy! Both of my boys have ADHD and would not have the social skills required to participate in one of the big-box swim schools. Ms. Cassie met both of my boys where they were at both in swimming skills and emotionally. Thanks to the care and emotional investment she made in my children, they can now confidently keep themselves safe when we are at the lake - and that peace of mind is priceless!

I highly and highly recommend The Hocken Family Swim Academy. My boys started because my older one joined middle school swim team. Whom stopped swimming for many years since Kindergarten. Ms. Holly is working with my older one and did a fantastic job and helped my boy to cut 10 secs. Less on freestyle in every meet. Ms. Cassie is working with my younger one and he will be joining middle school swimming team next year, and we are already so excited about it. I can tell how much they both love their students and teaching them. Such a great team with wonderful hearts. Zero negative about this swim academy 🫶

We love Hocken Family Swim Academy so much! They are fun, caring and flexible! Coach creates and closely follows a training plan, which helps us to know where we are with our swimming skills. Absolutely recommend to any parent who wants their kid to learn how to swim.

Highly recommended. We can not thank enough Cassie for helping my daughter in swim skills enhancement. Cassie is so much dedicated towards her mentoring goal and always provided very detailed feedback after each class which was really helpful for my daughter. I am so much thankful to whole Hocken Family for letting us to be a part of their Academy. Stay blessed and keep growing!!

Instructor Cassie Hocken was absolutely amazing! She taught my 5-year-old daughter how to float and coordinate all her body parts while swimming. Now, my little one feels much more confident while kicking and moving forward in the pool!
