My swim instructor, Rachel, is incredibly sweet and informative. As an adult learner, I have learned a lot in a short period of time. Now, she is teaching my daughter and her commitment and instruction is just the same! Absolutely superb!

Their new location has soooo much potential but it's not ran properly. They're understaffed, it's impossible to get the same swim instructor, also if you have any make up days, they can't look past the present week to book that make up, so if there are no spots available that week then you have to keep calling to see if there's a a cancellation. I wish my daughter could have the same instructor but every time is someone new, so no one really knows if she has advance or learned something in her class. This is also the 3rd time her instructor calls out and they don't give you a heads up when you

My 3 yr old son has been attending the Commack location for a few months now. They have been nothing but wonderful. His swim teacher, Stephanie, has been patient, caring, and kind to him. He takes a while to warm up to new people, and Stephanie continues to build a connection with him at each lesson. We will miss her, but wish her the best of luck at college!

We brought our daughter to Saf-T-Swim in Commack when she was 3 months old and it was the best decision we could make. We received a great promotion to get her started to make sure she liked it and we have been going there ever since (she's turning 4 in January)! We just started lessons with our 3 month old daughter, that's how much we love this place. The staff and teachers (especially Dylan) are outstanding. They're professional, outgoing and really work with the kids to teach them important lessons in safety. Our daughter has grown into a very strong swimmer; we couldn't be happier. My wife
