We had a fantastic experience with FINS Swimming. My daughter absolutely loved her time there. The coaches were encouraging, knowledgeable, and created a supportive environment that really helped her grow in skill and confidence. Each session was well-organized, fun, and focused on both technique and enjoyment in the water. It’s clear the staff truly care about the swimmers and want them to succeed. She’s already looking forward to returning this fall, and as a parent, I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Highly recommend!

My children have been swimming with FINS for years and we can't say enough good things about the organization. The instructors really help with the fundamentals and are good with the kids. The FINS Training Group (FTG) for the more advanced kids is great for building endurance. We really enjoy the Fall and Spring outdoor option at Old Farm Pool. Even when it is really cold, the kids don't complain about swimming as they report the water really is warm!

Our girls swam with FINS following their first summer swim season. The coaches and instruction were great and they loved going to practice. After the year of focus on stroke and technique they were legal in all four strokes and all dropped significant time. I would highly recommend FINS!

Our son has had a very positive experience with FINS. He has especially enjoyed the Fins Training Group which has provided him excellent coaching and endurance type 75 minute practices, without being on an actual competitive year-round swim team.
