Nicole is an outstanding swimming instructor. Nicole is helping me and my wife in learning swimming, and she was incredibly kind and patient. She motivated us with small, achievable steps, creating a personalized experience that boosted our confidence significantly. Nicole's approach made our first swimminglesson enjoyable and encouraging. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to learn swimming!
Thank you Nicole :)

We went through Spencer’s academy for our kids swimminglessons. It has been a great experience. Spencer has been very professional and responsive and responsible in all our communication. Even though he couldn’t do the lessons at the last minute due to covid, he found another swim teacher, Sam, to help us out. Sam is patient, hard working and excellent with young kids. He even got my niece to brave the waters on her own!!! Both Spencer and Sam are flexible and their rates are the best in town! I highly recommend them. We will be going through them again next summer.

Me and my wife wanted to learn swimming with zero prior experience. The personalized service provided by Spencer Swim academy worked out perfect as we could schedule sessions at our own place and time. Kaia our swimming instructor is very patient and professional and in just 3 lessons, we have become more comfortable in water and able to float. Our confidence has increased that we can learn swimming regardless of age and are motivated to achieve the goal. Overall the school deserves 5 stars rating.

Spencer was an awesome swim coach! He was patient and fun to work with. He taught me important foundational techniques. Learned freestyle and backstroke techniques from him, will take more sessions from him to learn other techniques as well. I would totally recommend him for anyone!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is based on 1 hour lessons ($70 / hour). If you only want a half hour lesson, the rate is cut in half ($35 / half hour). We are offering percentage discounts for people that want to book multiple lessons. For any questions, feel free to call, text, or email us :)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We believe in starting with comfort in the water. As a new swimmer, it is important to feel safe before jumping into anything complex. As an advanced swimmer, we can start with more complex stroke techniques and drills. We start with basic freestyle kicking techniques and build upon that.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our staff has CPR training, and the knowledge of experience to help us provide professional swim lessons for our clients
