Read what people are saying about SwimJim:

"I first read about SwimJim in the New York Times, which raved about the program. I immediately enrolled my son, Jacob, who was 18 months at the time. Signing Jake up for lessons with SwimJim is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

From the beginning, it was clear the Jim and his staff really care about kids. It shows in the way they all strive to make swimming a truly enjoyable experience.

Unlike other swim "groups", SwimJim works with each child's individual learning style, using positive, nurturing coaching to gently coax children past any fear of the water. Even as the classes gradually accelerate, the focus remains attentive and personal.

Early on, Jake adored the singing and games in the "Parent and Me" classes, and I think that Jim's teaching of ring colors through sign language is truly unique. Much to my surprise, Jake was able to dive underwater and bring up a colored ring after just a few months of lessons.

Jake, now five, can swim freestyle, backstroke (the entire length of the pool), float, dive and swim underwater with absolute confidence. Jake's having so much fun learning that he doesn't want to leave the pool, and wishes the class were longer.

I feel SwimJim has been integral to Jake's physical and emotional development. To see Jake proudly beam back up at me after swimming two full pool lengths is more than enough reward for me."
