AquaSafe Swimming

I would recommend Aquasafe to anyone who needs swimming lessons. The instructor Christina is wonderful and patient with my children and they have learned to be safe in the water without being afraid and are swimming after only a few lessons. My kids count the number of sleeps until they get to go to swimming lessons with AquaSafe. Great instructor and great team.

Aquasafe was wonderful! I was visiting from New York and wanted to take my 18 month old granddaughter for lessons while I was there. Samantha was extremely patient and flexible with the scheduling and Christina, the instructor, was simply amazing. She is superb with the little ones and extremely patient with us adults. I would highly recommend them! Thank you Samantha and Christina.

Aquasafe swimming is such an awesome program. I love how creative the instructors are and how they Taylor they’re teaching to each individual swimmer. I would highly recommend this swim school over any other swim program out there. My daughter was in the intense session and she was going every day and she learned to swim in literally just days. I have recommended all of my friends to sign their little ones up with Aquasafe Swimming.

Aquasafe is an excellent company from the schedulers to the instructors, everyone has been very professional. I highly recvomend this company !

I have been using AquaSafe Swimming for my 5 children for the last 12 years. The instructors and owner are the best. They are professional, patient, skillful, and lots of fun to work with. Tracy’s methods are extremely clever and produce quick results. She takes the fear out of swimming for the students and the parents. I have recommended these lessons to friends/​neighbors, and their children are all swimming now too! Many of these children have gone on to swim with the local competitive team after using AquaSafe. I would highly recommend again.

I recently referred my girlfriend’s son to this school. Little did I know, that their son would become a fish in a matter of days! He had tried the YMCA and could not focus and was too restless for their teaching style. Instantly, the Aquasafe instructor kept his attention and got him to learn the strokes as requested without any hesitation or resistance. Now, my girlfriend, Nancy can only tell me how thankful she is that I recommended this company for swim classes. Nancy felt that her son can now jump into the pool, swim laps and have fun! This would never have been the case without the help of super instructors at Aquasafe and their proven method of swim instruction. I can only wish that my folks had access to this sort of program when I was learning to swim.

We have mixed feelings about AquaSafe San Diego. We purchased 5 lessons for our two children. In terms of quality swim instruction, the instructor we had was excellent. Each week our children were super excited to go to swimming lessons and they made pleasing progress. However, AquaSafe needs to revise its communication standards between staff, and also with its customers. One week we arrived for our lesson and no one was there. We contacted the San Diego AquaSafe number a couple times. Our call wasn’t returned for a couple of days. Eventually they got back to us with an apology for forgetting to inform us that instructor had been away. A make up lesson was scheduled, as was a free lesson for the inconvenience we experienced, which we appreciated. Today we arrived for our final lesson (what would have been the free lesson), but the swim instructor was perplexed we were there. She had not been informed about our free lesson and had already moved another child into that time slot and was fully booked for the remainder of the day. So we found ourselves, for the second time, having to explain to our children that there would be no swimming lesson. We were allowed to let the kids have a little swim in the pool with us, but it’s not the same as a proper lesson. The instructor did not offer to reschedule the free lesson. My advice to you when using this company would be to ask for your instructor’s cell number and confirm all swim dates with them personally.

Since posting this review, we received a phone call from the instructor with an apology and an offer of another free lesson, which we politely declined.
As I have already mentioned, the quality of swim instruction is excellent. However, I recommend you confirm every swim lesson date with your instructor.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but I feel compelled to for this school because they are so wonderful. We had bad experiences at a few other swim schools in San Diego — the YMCA lessons didn’t seem to spur any progress in my 4-​yr-​old daughter, and 6 lessons at AquaPros caused her to have panic attacks before her lesson because the instructor kept dunking her underwater when she wasn’t ready and kept telling me it was normal for her to scream and cry in fear throughout her lesson. This felt awful to me and so we pulled her out. I was beginning to feel like it would take a miracle to get her comfortable with putting her head underwater after that experience. Enter Michelle and AquaSafe Swimming. Michelle is gentle, silly, sweet, and immediately won over my daughter’s trust after just one lesson (this lesson began with her barely willing to enter the water with someone other than me or my husband because she was so scared from the previous teacher). Michelle has been working with my daughter’s specific needs over the last 3 months and slowly but surely, has built up her confidence and comfort. For the first time, my daughter thinks swim lessons are fun! And we have been seeing steady progress after each lesson to the point where she is now eagerly putting her head underwater, touching the bottom of the 3-​foot deep pool and starting to doggie-​paddle a few feet at a time by herself. All with a big smile on her face! I couldn’t be happier! Michelle is truly a wonderful find and has a special gift as a teacher. I also really like the location of the school — it has plenty of close covered parking in a structure with an elevator so it’s easy to bring along my baby in a stroller. The therapy pool is indoor and heated so you don’t need to worry about sunscreen or cold temperatures. Highly highly highly recommend! It does cost more to have the private lessons at this school but the extra money is worth it if you want to see faster progress because your child gets much more one-​on-​one attention when compared to a group lesson.

We have recently relocated to San Diego and we simply cannot find another swim school as good as AquaSafe. My daughter has had trouble with other swim instructors/​schools. This school encourages the most positive interaction which makes her want to go back almost everyday. I love the fact that they encourage teaching the most possible in a short amount of time. Other swim schools we have tried dragged her lessons out forever and she never seemed to make progress. Now she is swimming like a fish and has made more progress in 3 months than she did in 3 years in previous schools. I highly recommend this swim school! They are incredibly professional and the scheduler amazing, willing to work with our busy schedules. 5 Stars PLUS!

Amazing swim school. I began having my daughter swim here after we had a bad experience with Murry Callan, Noonans AND the YMCA. Finally, after bringing my daughter here she was able to safely swim across the pool and even learn strokes very quickly. After three months in lessons, I decided to sign myself up for swimming as well. My instructor was extremely helpful and professional. Also, they do wonders working with my tight schedule. I highly reccomend this swim school.
