Extremely happy with this swim school!! They operate with excellence. They think of all the details. They hire teachers who truly enjoy being with children. The water is so warm. The pool was built specifically for lessons. Their program is divided into measurable, realistic short term goals, and they reward the children. I have watched my children make incredible progress! Puts a momma's heart at ease. My kids also love it. I cannot say enough good about them.

My kids love it here. Swimming instructors are cool af! Price is so-so, basically $25 for 30 mins. But it's better than most other places. The parking lot is horrible. Stupid Karen's can't drive.

Love silver bear swim school! My son went here a few years ago and now my baby is in the baby class. We have Ms. Rosie and I adore her. She never seems frustrated and always patient even when my baby is screaming because she hates back floats! I have never seen someone keep a cheery attitude like she does! I love how everyone cheers everyone on, they are so friendly and it honestly is like a family atmosphere. We get excited for our Friday class!!
