Miss Olena & Mr Igor they are super nice,kind,lovely and kids love them. They really can teach swimming perfectly and make kids to love pools and swim. My son loves them and after 6 months he learned how to swim,his only 3 years old. They are amazing. They are the best.

Star swim club is absolutely AMAZING! Miss Olena & Mr Igor are a fantastic team! They push the students while understanding where they need remedial work which is the perfect balance (not a one size fits all approach). Communication is key with young children and they nail it! There are fun activities happening throughout each class which keeps the kids engaged and gives them the motivation to continue to learn and grow. The place is tucked away and not the most visible but you will not be disappointed with this hidden gem! Our 3 year old went from scared of the water to completely self sufficient! She calls herself a mermaid and she definitely proves it in the water! Up next, our son who is about 22 months will be headed to the pros!! Thanks so much Star Swim Club for empowering our children and teaching them water safety! Update: We just finished my son's swim lessons which took him from attached to me in the pool to a completely competent shark in the water! We get so many parents asking how a 3 year old can swim from one end of the pool and back without floaties. The answer, Star Swim Club!! One last huge thank you to Miss Olena and Mr Igor for being so amazing and loving to our kids. We cannot thank you two enough!!

The best. My kids went from being afraid to loving the water. Gentle, kind and firm teachers make every second a joy - it's clear how much they love kids. Strong teachers make strong swimmers.

Olena and Igor are amazing instructors and have a magical touch. My daughter can be timid around new adults but loved it from her first lesson. Their method is unlike any I’ve seen and can’t be rivaled. My youngest two were able to swim 25 yards by themselves BEFORE they were 3! 100% worth the drive from South / Port Tampa
