SafeSplash Sterling has the best swim coaches (Cris and Sam) in the DMV region, especially for special needs kids, as well as the best manager (Jen). My 6 YO has been taking private/group/wave classes with Coach Cris for almost 1 year now and he improved a lot. Compared with other swim places we’ve been to, SafeSplash Sterling is very spacious (has several showers and cubicles), always clean, bright/colorful paintings, and does not smell like cleaning chemicals. They also put some special touches to make families welcome (complimentary coffee), books, and toys. That’s why we go here even if it’s a 30-40 minute drive (one way) away from our home (Springfield). A big kudos to Jen and her team!
My daughter has learned so much and has become much more comfortable and confident around water. She enjoys her swim classes and all of the different coaches!
Amazing staff--both coaches, front desk, and managers. Always willing to work with you to find the best class and coach for your child, as well as make the class work with your schedule.
Thanks so much Nicole! We love having your family swimming with us!

I liked the smaller teacher to student ratio and the cleanliness of the pool area and waiting room.
I would like to suggest that new students are “flagged” in the system on their first day so they learn the routine of entering the pool and where to go at the start and end of class.
Thanks so much for your review and helpful feedback. We are so happy your family is swimming with us.

I loved my swim experience at Safe splash. I loved my instructors, Sam and Tori. They were very knowledgeable, helpful, patient and warm towards me. They were flexible in offering classes that fit my schedule. Their tips and lessons helped me a lot as a beginner. I recommend my instructors and Safe splash for all adult swimming practices.
Wonderful experience from how we are greeted upon entry, to the coach's engagement with the student. Our child not only is learning valuable water safety skills, but also feels incredibly welcomed in this community.
We have had an amazing experience at safe splash Sterling! They go above and beyond for the special needs community. The school is always clean and has friendly staff. My daughter has come so far as a swimmer because of Coach Cris. I’ve been so pleased I’ve referred about 10+ kids to the school, and everyone also has enjoyed it!
Private lesson teacher, Cris, is excellent and a great communicator with both kids and parents. Instructor for group lesson was also very good and inclusive. Would only like more communication between parents and instructors of group lessons.
My son loves swimming with Chris. I love the atmosphere and the focus of safe splash , the whole staff is knowledgeable and caring. Great place to be for excellence in swimming.
