Fantastic experience: My son takes lessons with Patti and she and her entire team are incredible teachers. They are patient and help celebrate all the little wins when it comes to a kid learning to swim. They make the kids feel welcome and free to learn at their own pace while pushing them appropriately to learn every week. I am very impressed with the level of professionalism in the lessons!
Fantastic experience: We can't say enough great things about the staff here. We initially put our daughter in when she was 2 or 3 years old. She has been going for private lessons ever since & she is now 5. She can swim the length of the pool, swim under water and on her back etc. She has also gained a ton of confidence, not only in & around the pool but also in other daily activities. If you have the opportunity to put your children(s) in lessons here, we highly recommend it.
Negative experience: Change your discriminating policy I should be able to come watch my kids learn how to swim without getting a vaccine. Asking kids 12 and older to get a vaccine to learn how to swim is borderline evil.
Fantastic experience: My Daughter improved more in 1 session than she did in an entire 8 week program elsewhere. Yes it's more expensive, but totally worth the money.
Fantastic experience: It's amazing to see the drastic transformation in my four year old. She was initially timid and scared of the water. Even after just a few lessons, she now jumps right in the pool with both skill and confidence. Thank you PB Aquatics!
Fantastic experience: Best swimming lessons my kids have received to date. If you get Pauline you're in even better luck! Love you guys. Sarah Drury Dominion Lending Centres Mortgages for everyone!! CHeers
Fantastic experience: Amazing to see the transformation in my daughters swimming in such a short time. The one on one attention is exceptional and they make it fun. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The swimming coaches are very good with kids. Much better than other swim clubs that are just there to take your money. My son learned to swim properly rather than just splashing about as he did at his previous club. Yes the facilites are old, but the quality of instruction is first-rate. Unfortunately we have moved away from the area. We will be hard pressed to find an equivalent level of instruction here in the GTA.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff! Amazing personal attention and teaching. My son was very scared and nervous at first but they worked with him and made him feel extremely comfortable. Very pleased with this swim school.
Positive experience: Great instructors. Older building and older pool but it is nice warm salt water which is great for the kids.
