My family absolutely loves Big Blue Swim School. Everyone from the front desk workers to the instructors are super friendly and very professional. All the families are polite and watching everyone be here for the children is what makes this place so special. I have recommended some of my close family and friends to Big Blue and hopefully they join. Thank you all for helping my baby be more comfortable in water.

We just had our second session with our 15month old daughter. We are hoping she will learn necessary survival skills in the water. We are going on a trip soon where there will be lots of opportunities to swim in the ocean/pools so we want her to be well prepared. The facility itself is gorgeous and so clean and well lit. Inside they have bathrooms, as well as a giant hallway filled with dressing rooms. They also offer bags for wet bathing suits etc, blow dryers and a separate shower in the restrooms. On the pool deck it is well heated, so come dressed in clothing meant for a humid day, the pool is heated nicely and they offer a row of showers and soap as well as a restroom for after your session. We’ve interacted with three swim instructors and so far all interactions have been amazing. Looking forward to seeing our daughters confidence grow.

My daughter’s first swim lesson was the best experience at Big Blue Swim School! She is just 2 months shy of 3 years old and the instructor, Michael was patient, fun, and attentive. She instantly felt comfortable in the water with him and did not want to leave at the end. Highly recommend for any level. FYI, it is super warm in there … parents should dress for summer! :)

I’m so glad our family found Big Blue Swim. It is hard finding quality swim lessons, but finding a place dedicated to only swim lessons is unique. From the very first swim lesson at Big Blue Swim, my toddler has enjoyed every moment, and I credit this to the instructors. All the instructors have a gentle approach and they have an authentic interest in helping your child develop their swim skills and thrive. Big Blue Swim has helped our toddler feel comfortable and confident in the water. So our days at the pool are way less stressful for this family.
