Aja was wonderful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a swim instructor. We hired her to instruct our visiting grandchildren ages 1 and 4. The children responded well to her. We were very impressed with her teaching skills. Will definitely hire her again if our grands are here in swim weather.

Aja is an amazing and patient instructor. I am not a strong swimmer so I was admittedly very nervous. I called Aja a few times prior to our children's 1st lessons and she answered all of my questions and gave me piece of mind about her experience and her passion for her work. At the 1st lessons for my 3 year old and 7 year old it was an instant connection for the kids and for my husband and I as parents! Her main focus is water safety which helped to reinforce what I shared with the kids. She kept them interested and engaged!! I look forward to partnering with Aja to continue to lead my kids to have a love and become great at swimming

Aja is great! Within a few lessons she had my daughter swimming on her own. She has also gained more confidence in herself with water. Aja is patient and kind but pushes my daughter to be a better swimmer!
