In 2 months time, our four year-old boy went from barely being able to keep his head above water and panicking when any little drops of water went in his eyes, to jumping into the pool, swimming into the deep end, coming back up for a gasp of air, going back in to go get sunken toys, and feeling confident in the water. I'm really glad we went to Callan Swim School, he had fun while learning.

Callan is AMAZING! Please don’t waste your time, energy, or money going anywhere else. Not only have they restored my daughter’s confidence in the water after a negative experience with another swim school, they have her exceeding our expectations for independence in the water after only a few months. Thank you, Callan!

We have only just begun lessons, today being the second lesson, but have been incredibly impressed with our daughter’s instructor Allie and how calm she has been with our 2 year old. She has made our daughter feel very comfortable so far and progressing already with her comfort level in the pool. We are excited to see the continued progress and thankful for Miss Allie, whom our daughter talks about daily.

We loved Callan Swim School for our 4 year old! We had Ms. Kiran and Ms. Alyssa and they were wonderful coaches! The other coaches seemed just as wonderful from observation. The staff are so flexible and helpful! We will definitely be coming back again for our younger child!
