"Clownfish swim has been amazing for my 5 year old. She has developed so much confidence in the water. Tricia is an amazing instructor she really knows how to read my child when she comes in for her lesson and adjusts accordingly."
parent, ClownFishSwim School.


"I had taken a CPR Class about 2 years ago and could not remember that much about it. I think it was partly to do with the size of the class. I would highly recommend her class. I feel confident about CPR now!"
Thanks

"Registration was easy and organized. It was a nice laid back environment and small class. Tricia was very good with the kids.
It was a great "first pool" experience and
introduction to swimming."
parent, ClownFishSwim School.


"Everything was very easy. Tricia made class fun and really respected the kids ie. if kid really did not want to dunk, she did not have to. But at the same time encouraged her to keep doing if she saw her dunking / jumping in to water etc. Very important for our little one at age 3.
The pool was fantastic too, lots of room for strollers, changing and kids to play before class."
parent, ClownFishSwim School

"We really enjoyed this session for the preschool age. We
liked the individual attention and one-on-one instruction...and your
patience. We feel our daughter learned a lot and improved her
confidence in the water. It was helpful to have a list of skills
that you targeted for the season." parent, ClownFishSwim School.


"Everything was so smooth, registration, class procedure
etc. I like the repetition so the kids know what to expect each
class. I like the personal attention to each student, and the small
class size." parent ClownFishSwim School
