My son has been attending Kids First Swim in Bowie since he was just 1½ years old, and we’ve loved everything about it from the start. The staff is always friendly and professional, and the entire experience has been nothing short of wonderful. He’s now in Level 3 and continuing to improve with confidence and grace. I highly recommend Kids First Swim to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and fun environment for their child to learn how to swim!

This is an awesome place! I enrolled my son so he could learn the basics I would be more comfortable with him in the pool he's on level 3 and when we go swimming he's like a little fish. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with all ages I highly recommend for all children to learn water safety.

We’ve had a good experience with KFSS. I like that it’s local to us and the instructors work well with the kids. They’ve recently switched to using an app and that has been great. The only issue I have is I wish they had WiFi for the parents to use while our kids are in class! 🙃

Overall great experience and the staff is very helpful. The manager is sweet and greets my child every time we walk in. She is accessible, professional, and pleasant. We’ve had a few tough scheduling changes but she has figured it out each time. 10/10 customer service experience. Classes are affordable and the curriculum is wonderful as well. The facility needs upgrades particularly in the bathrooms which is my only negative but the overall upkeep of the building is great. I can’t recommend this program and this school enough to friends and family.
