Swim Angelfish Testimonials & Reviews

My 7 year old non-verbal autistic boy loves water, but very much unaware about the safety part of being in the water. At Swim Angelfish, he is learning swim and safety skills along with enjoying his time in the pool! The instructors are knowledgeable, understanding and very patient with him – something we haven’t been able to find in swim schools before we came here. My other son, who also struggles with motor planning issues has been part of the swim team here, where he has been working hard on his techniques along with teamwork. I strongly recommend Swim Angelfish and thank them for helping my kids learn and enjoy swimming!

As a mom of autistic twins who love the water, Swim Angelfish has provided my boys with the ability to swim and be safe in the water. Their program not only helps with important life skills but swimming and being in the water gives them regulation and a sense of calm. I love what Swim Angelfish instructors have done for my boys!

My daughter who was diagnosed with anxiety early on struggled in most mainstream swim lessons with other peers of similar age, so much so that we stopped swim lessons. When I learned about Swim Angelfish we gave it a try at 5 years old. WOW! She began swimming with confidence, at her own pace, but was challenged to progress her skills. In no time, she swims independently, and brags that she doesn’t “hold her nose” underwater, like her friends!

My son who is typical for his age demonstrates severe anxiety with swim lessons, and after JUST 1 lesson with Swim Angelfish, he swam independently, no bubbles, and entire lap, smiling!

Thank you to the excellent, skilled instructors that have a true passion for what they do!

Since we started coming to Swim Angelfish my children’s swimming skills have grown tremendously. My boys now have the confidence and skills that they can take with them through their life. They enjoy the water and now have basic skills to keep them confident and safe. The instructors at Swim Angelfish are kind, patient, and experienced. They support your child in helping them develop functional skills in a safe, clean, and secure environment. The instructors have shared their knowledge with me so I can take those lessons and use them in the world. I would highly recommend Swim Angelfish to every family.

Swim Angelfish lessons has impacted my daughter with increased water safety skills, strength, teamwork, and self-confidence. Despite being in swim lessons throughout her life, there were certain skills and nuances that were not being addressed with typical lessons. The Swim Angelfish staff have solid knowledge in regard to Autism and how certain sensitivities affect swimming and/or learning. They understand how to reach my daughter and meet her needs in an aquatic environment, and she has hugely benefitted from this experience.

As parents of our very active (never stopping!) son who is encouraged by both positive and negative attention, we looked for a way to channel his energy and give him a structured approach to handle various life situations (which were difficult several years ago). When we started with Swim Angelfish, we noticed Cindy’s and the other instructors’ extensive knowledge of autism and how to work with the children and channel their behavior into playful instructions, while also teaching us as parents at the same time.
