My son has been taking swim lessons consistently with Katie’s Kickers since he was 18 months old (started with Parent and Me). He is now five and is incredibly confident in the water. He can swim with minimal assistance across the length of the pool, knows how to float and get to safety, and knows all his basic strokes. The instructors with KK are second to none - they are incredibly patient with the kids and make the lessons super fun. We recommend them to everyone!!

We’ve begun the summer season as a new family with Katie’s Kickers and I’ve been really impressed with their communication and flexibility to adapt to the skills and personality of their swimmers. Katie and the coaches have gone out of their way to make sure that my son has a good experience and gains confidence and safety in the water. When we left our most recent lesson, he was beaming with pride and was full of stories of “the deep end!” He’s told me that he can’t wait to practice and to come again next week. It’s been great to have the coaches meet him where he is, but encourage him to grow!

Katie’s kickers is the best! My son has been kickin’ it with Katie since he was about 2 and now my daughter (3 years old) is there too! She’s amazing with kids, her staff is always nice too! My son is autistic and she is compassionate and oh so patient! We have had several other instructors over the years and they all have been amazing! My son is now 7 and is a confident swimmer! Thank you coach Katie and all the wonderful coaches! We look forward to kickin’ it with you for years to come!

I absolutely LOVE Katie and her amazing team! My son has been attending classes since the parent and me classes and he is now 3. My husband and I also take the adult swim classes and have both become extremely comfortable in the water! I highly recommend Katie’s Kickers for all age groups! Personally want to shout out Amber, Brittany, Katie, and Sam!! Thank you all soo much!

After trying other places for swim lessons, we found Katie’s Kickers and have been more than pleased. My kids have progressed so much, one from dreading getting in the water to loving it. They are patient, accommodating, and effective.
