Gretchen is hands down amazing. Our autistic son took four swim lessons over the summer from someone who claimed to be a highly skilled swim coach that worked with special needs children regularly. It was quickly evident she was not going to make any progress with our son and honestly, I wouldn’t trust her with my children after interacting with her. When we found SafeSplash and Gretchen, I could instantly tell it would be an amazing fit. The staff is amazing there and so supportive. After two swim lessons with Gretchen, our son met his TWO MONTH GOAL she had set for him, which was to wear goggles, hold his breath, and go under water. He has never done this, refused to wear goggles, and would never hold his breath or close his mouth. During his second lesson, he did all of those things with excitement and eargerness as if he’d been doing it his whole life. Two lessons in and we are 100% sure we made the right decision by joining SafeSplash
Everyone is so nice and patient! My toddler was not a fan at first, but everyone welcomed him and his tears until he was comfortable! The front desk employees, managers, owners, and coaches are all so kind and want to be there!
We really enjoyed our trial session with the teacher; however, the second session was not as great. Also, we were told that the charge would be made on the same day of our class, but instead it was processed the week before on a card we had left only for the record.
Yall are such an amazing team! Bear loves coming to swim every week and it’s taught him how to be SO safe around the pool! He’s been coming since he was 8 months!
We are so happy to be a part of the SafeSplash SwimLabs Springhurst community. The coaches are kind and knowledgeable, the facility is clean and well maintained. We are so thrilled with the focus on water safety and building a strong swimming foundation for our toddler. Our 3 year old has become so much more comfortable in the water over the past year we have been with SafeSplash. We are so proud of him.
We love seeing the progress from both of our boys, as well as the way they are encouraged to grow and develop their swimming skills safely. W love the temperment and attention given by the instructors and the atmosphere.
We love our swim experience so far! We can tell our little swimmer is definitely improving and gaining in confidence (maybe too much confidence? Ha!). My one wish is that the makeup tokens would not expire so quickly. Sometimes it's very hard to find an available/open class with the desired coaches within the short window before expiration. Being allowed even an extra week or two would be enormously helpful and appreciated. Thanks for all you do to keep our children safe!
