I love that it is private lessons so that my son can have that 1on1 attention. The customer service is great! My son is progressing every week I’m confident he will learn how to fully swim in no time!

Jack Barr has been an excellent coach for my almost 3 year old son Bryson. I appreciate Jack's committment to safety--the way he would make sure Bryson asked me before getting into the pool, or talk to him about not running. He was kind and encouraging, but also firm with my son. During class, I watched the care he took with Bryson as he explained the various skills he wanted my son to do, and how he kept my son on task when my son got distracted. He cheered Bryson on every time he accomplished a new skill. When Bryson wasn't listening last class, he took Bryson out of the pool and brought him to me. I could tell Bryson was embarrassed--he was crying and asking to go home. But Jack explained my son needed to listen so that they could continue to learn, and then encouraged him to get back in the pool. My son got back in the pool, and listened better for the rest of the class. I appreciated the way Jack both showed that there were consequences to misbehavior, but that my son could do a reset, and go back to the pool. The pool can be a dangerous place for a toddler, so firmness is necessary for children, especially for children as young as my son with very little sense of danger. Mr. Jack taught Bryson to respect the pool, to take lessons seriously, and at the same time, showed Bryson how fun it was to swim. Bryson would talk about Mr Jack and swimming lessons all week long. We swam all summer and I could see his confidence grow each session, and when we swam at our local pool. Jack gave him a wonderful foundation, and I'm looking forward to building on that foundation next summer. We have moved to a new part of town, but I kept bringing Bryson to Sharkies so he could continue his lessons with Mr. Jack. Mr. Jack is an excellent instructor, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my son.

My son's coach Andre has been fantastic for our son! They were able to assess his abilities and work with him to get him fast tracked into swimming! Sharkies is all about safety and they make sure that the students are reminded about pool safety! The entire staff is pleasant and they do a pretty good job of communicating changes in the schedule! I would definitely recommend Sharkies!

This is our second time enrolling in private lessons at Sharkies. My daughter learned to swim in 2023 with Coach Cheryl and this past year, my son is now swimming independently after 7 months of lessons with Coach Lisa. It was a wonderful experience for us - my son loved going to lessons each week. Coach Lisa strengthened his skills and gave him the confidence to swim on his own. We love Sharkies!

We love coach Alana! She is so attentive with our two year old and he looks forward to swim each week. We decided to enroll him in private lessons and having a great experience so far.

Great classes. Expensive. Please keep windows open for parents/siblings during the summer or else it becomes unbearable in there

Sharkie's is fantastic! Our girls have been going to this school since they were 3yo. The coaching staff is very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Safety is their number 1 focus, and our littles are better for it! We have worked with Coach Chris, Coach Jack, Coach Cheryl, and all the subs that stood in the gap when scheduling conflicts would arise. Would definitely recommend!

Our experience has been wonderful. Our son started out in a group class and we quickly realized this wasn't ideal for him. They set us up with private lessons and with a phenomenal instructor (shout out to Ms. Lisa) and our son has made incredible improvements. He is SO comfortable in the water and quickly becoming a little fish.

They make our toddler feel welcome and safe. We enjoy working with all of the coaches and team. It’s been a great experience and we hope to start lessons with our second child in the fall.

to My daughter loves the water and she loves Sharkie’s Academy. The instructors, their manager, Mrs. Cheryl, and their knowledge on swim safety, while providing a pleasant experience is a plus. They work with you, make you feel comfortable and welcome, especially when the environment is new and slightly scary for mom. I love the environment, diversity and inclusion, and the appreciation for all kids to learn to swim. A win for a win in my book.
