Testimonials
We enrolled our 4 yo son into swim lessons with Ms. Alison and her team for his first swim lesson experience. He came home excited to tell us what he learned after each session. They were patient with him when he was nervous to try, but also encouraged him to keep moving forward. By the end of the week he was jumping in to his teacher, flipping from his back to his belly, blowing bubbles in the water, and bouncing to dip his head under in the shallow end of the pool. We continued practice after the end of his sessions and just 3 days later he started holding his breath and kicking his feet. We were so proud of his progress and grateful Ms. Misty and Ms. Alison for helping builds his confident to try something new!

We sent my daughter to swim lessons with Alison Garland. She had dealt with years of fear and anxiety related to swimming without a floatie. From the first day she got there, Mrs. Alison made her feel safe and comfortable. She made so much progress in such a short time. She can swim independently after her lessons and will be building the skills she learned all summer long! We are so proud of her, but love seeing how proud she is of herself. I would highly recommend Swim With Alison.

Alison and her team provided lessons for our three 4-year-old boys for two weeks. This was their first experience in a group setting in the hands of someone new with authority. HANDS DOWN: BEST DECISION EVER! It has benefitted for both the kids and us parents and setup such a great foundation for the future. The process itself was effortless and stress free. Alison provided everything we needed to know, with fun updates. Plus, she gives tips on how to maintain going forward. On top of that, she taught my kids some well needed discipline. How much easier can it get? For the kids, I was blown away with how much was accomplished in two weeks and any expectations I had were beyond exceeded. My kids didn't really know how to do anything when they started and when they finished, they were confidently wanting to jump in and swim on their own. So much so, the next day, I took them to a pool where they played and swam FLOATIE FREE for hours! I was floored. No emergencies. No stress. Parent win. Instructor GOLD. So grateful to Alison and her team for the beautiful service they provide. Cannot say enough good things!

My son has been a return student each summer. The decision to repeat the lessons for a small child prior to the start of swim season has been successful for us. The process from start to finish is seamless and professional. Our son loves to be in the water and his confidence has had incredible growth.

I can't recommend Swim With Alison enough! She provided a welcoming, friendly and fun environment for my kids to learn the foundations of swimming. She was encouraging and patient which helped give them more confidence in their ability to swim. They had a BLAST!

We can't say enough for how amazing Mrs. Alison and her staff is. Thanks to her amazing teaching and patience, both of my daughters (ages 4 and 5) can swim, save themselves if they fall in, and learned how to not panic in the water. We are so thankful for her and could not ask for more peace of mind in the summer that our girls are safe around water activities. - Alannah C
Miss Alison did an AMAZING job with Madelyn! In one week, she has come so far, and I have seen her confidence and knowledge of safety in the water grow!
I highly recommend Swim With Alison.

We could not be more pleased with A's progress in her swim lessons. Alison and her crew were so patient. She went from screaming when she was splashed on the first day to sliding down the slide 4 times, treading water, floating on her back, and swimming in the deep end by the end of her second week. We’ve done swim lessons before, but I believe going every day with Alison and her crew was the difference. My mom heart feels so much better knowing my girl can hold her own in the water. Thanks so much to Alison and her crew!!

I can't say enough great things about Alison! We recently bought a home with a pool, and had safety concerns for our 5 year old. After just 5 lessons, Alison equipped our daughter with the basic skills she needs to survive and thrive in the pool. She is well on her way to being an independent swimmer and retiring her floatie for good!

L absolutely loved taking lessons and wants to join you again when lessons are available. He and I are both impressed with the skills he's learned and would love to hone those still learning. Thank you so much for the opportunity. -Alexandria A.
R learned a lot over the week and overcame a lot of fears. I love that Alison and her assistants didn’t force her to do things that she didn’t want to do so that her confidence was built up. I would definitely do it again and would recommend her to anyone.

My child now has CONFIDENCE with swimming! Before lessons started, she didn't really want to go, and then by day 3, she was so excited every day to go. Thank you Alison, Misty, and team!

My child would barely put his face under the water at the beginning but just after one week of swim lessons with Alison, he was swimming across the pool with his head under the water. Now, I think he is spending more time playing under the water then he is on top.
