My kids and I love Kids First. There method of swimming instruction has taught my children real skills that we haven't achieved anywhere else. The children advance through levels with mastery in a methodical method. The instructors are observant and kind. My kids have a lot of fun while learning! Parents can watch every lesson. There are also opportunities for swim parties and special events.

We've had our 2 kids taking lessons here for a couple years now. Our original goal was to simply make sure they could be safe in the water. But we've kept going because they both love it so much. The instructors are encouraging and motivated to teach. My son was struggling with a specific skill, and one of the instructors asked to work 1 on 1 with him to improve his confidence. Just 1 extra lesson made a huge difference, and her enthusiasm for his success i know helped as much as her actual teaching. Wonderful place to learn to swim!

We have been taking our daughter to KFSS for years and she has learned so much. Izzy and Ava been fantastic instructors, and know how to connect with our kiddo on a level that makes it fun to learn. I would highly recommended KFSS to anyone who's looking for a place to get their child to learn how to swim safely.

The swim instructor’s at kids first are phenomenal. My nephew Xavier has autism and he absolutely loves coming to swim class. He started one day a week and now comes three days a week. Each day he has a different instructor and has shown so much improvement. Awesome job to these young adults.
