BEST PLACE AROUND! My son has been going here since he was 2 years old, he is now 7. We can't thank Diana enough for starting him out and making learning to swim so fun! The time she spent with him made a huge impact. He then moved to Mr. Matt and loved his energy, silliness, and learned more from him. Most recently he has been with Mr. Victor, and has improved enough to move up to the next level, the Orca's. Love this family and atmosphere! Would never go anywhere else!

I have nothing but rave reviews about Clownfish! We're currently going twice weekly, and we've been there since 2019. It is a gem of a place, and the staff (family-owned and operated!) are truly the reason. My once-hesitant swimmers (ages 3 & 6) have truly blossomed with the patience, kindness, and silliness of Diana & Matt, in addition to the couple other teachers they've had over the years. And really, just hearing my kids shout "YAHOO!!" when I tell them it's swim day tells me they're doing something right at Clownfish. My kids have made steady progress beyond what I expected, and the teachers
