Highly recommend! Everyone is super nice and my kiddo has grown so much in her confidence and safety skills. She loves her instructor Brandon and always gives him the biggest smile! He is very skilled in helping her advance while maintaining her confidence in the water.

Highly recommend this location and the BSS method. My daughter loved going every session, had fun every time. We started with the 2x weekly sessions which I think helped accelerate progress. My child was exposed to numerous teachers which was helpful because each one helped her in different ways and had unique tips, but the method was consistent. Every single teacher was awesome, and we felt welcomed warmly each lesson. We did lessons through our town pool as well, but after a close call/safety incident 6 months ago decided to layer this in as well, and I have NO REGRETS. It helped fill in gaps. I feel SO MUCH more confident in my daughter's swimming skills and water safety now. I only wish my teachers when I learned as a kid were this positive and friendly. I hated swim lessons and didn't want my kid to experience that, and luckily, she LOVED these lessons.

Appreciate the patience of the staff at the Maplewood location. Both of my kids attend this location and the instructors are great, friendly and again patient. We've been at this location for 2 years and would recommend this to friends and family. Definitely got us more comfortable with letting are kids go into pools with confidence. Shout it to Rahkeem, Jaz, Nzinga, and Janiya.

We've been coming here for a few months now and my 1yr old loves it. Jazz is the best coach she's had thus far and the babies have a blast. Jazz is patient and intuitive and the techniques work. My daughter looks forward to swimming every week now. We love it here.
