We had such a wonderful experience at Colleen’s Swim School! Colleen and her coaches are absolutely amazing. Our 6-year-old son, who has a speech delay, started out very timid—but in just a few sessions he went from hesitantly putting his face in the water to swimming independently. Out of the 3 sessions we attended, 2 were noticeably outstanding, and we’re already planning to return every summer as long as we’re in California. Her pool is heated, has a safety gate around it, and she’s incredibly attentive. You can tell she takes safety seriously and catches things quickly, which gives us so much peace of mind. I also loved being able to sit and watch, and I noticed her working so patiently with a wide range of kids, including those with special needs. She truly meets each child where they’re at. As a pediatric ICU respiratory therapist, I can’t stress enough how important water safety is—there’s no second chance in the water. Please, parents, prioritize swim lessons for your children. Colleen and her team make it such a positive, safe, and confidence-building experience. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with our son learning to swim at Colleen’s Swim School. We tried a few places before here (mostly at various city schools) but our kid was not comfortable with the amount of kids learning at once time. Colleen’s Swim School had a small group at one time (about 5 kids average during our time here) and with couple of teachers it made the learning experience a lot more comfortable to learn in. All the employees at the school taught very well and in just a few weeks our kid was able to be comfortable in the water and perform what would be considered a 4 year old swim skill set lol Highly recommend having your child learn to swim here. Forget going anywhere else, this is the place to learn :)

We have had such an amazing time at Colleen’s swim school! I actually learned to swim with coach colleen over 20 years ago and now I brought my 13 month old to swim classes. The parent and me class has been so fun and I’ve learned a lot of strategies to help my daughter be more confident in the water. It is crazy how much she has learned in just two weeks! We also love the environment and how relaxing it is waiting for class to start. My mom is in a wheelchair and it was so special to me that the area is accessible and she was able to come watch. Coach Colleen and her team of helpers are so patient and knowledgeable. We will be back next year!

My 12 year old has always been a good swimmer but has been terrified to dive. It would give him panic attacks just thinking about it. Colleen's Swim School gave him the boost of confidence he needed and he now LOVES to dive. The first time he did it. I was shocked. My 8 year old went into her swim lessons not knowing how to swim and at the end of the 2 weeks shes very confident and knows how to swim. Highly recommend. Will be back next summer for a refresh!
