| “We took Benny to the pool for his mile swim. He did the entire mile using the Front Crawl. People at the pool were really impressed with his stroke and endurance. I remember the first day I brought Benny to your class and he sat on the top step crying his eyes out. Now he can swim a Mile! Sharon and I are very proud of Benny. You should also be very proud of your accomplishment!” (Bob G) | ![]() |
“You are a wonderful educator! You are one of the greatest teachers I have had the privilege to learn from. I am still amazed and thrilled to find myself swimming with confidence just a couple of months after I first came to you with a fear of the deep water. You have truly given me a gift of enjoying the wonderful art of swimming which will last me a lifetime. Thanks again for all you've done. (Tom N —Adult). This student, after Graduating, got his SCUBA Certification, took up Surfing, and has helped some of his non–swimming friends overcome their water fears.”
“I read every screen of the SCSS Website and really enjoyed it. It is well put together and very professional —yet a feeling of genuine warmth and caring comes across to the reader.” (Barb M)
“We both were very happy with Jake's first lesson. Thank you for getting to him so fast. We were so impressed with how much you taught him. Please continue teaching —you did so much for our son.” (Karen W)
“It's great to see Matthew doing so well. Anna is having fun in the spa, and seems to get a faceful at least once each time she is in there. Today she had her face down near the water and someone made a huge splash and it went up over her head. She came up and looked a little distressed for a second, then she smiled and looked at me and said, “Did you see me? I did Dunkin, Dunkin Donuts!” The little awards are significant for them!” (Kelli S)
“After the City experience, I spoke with many swim teachers and really didn't feel the level of professionalism or caring was to my standards. You, on the other hand have the qualities I consider important to allow my kids to enjoy the magic of swimming. Our conversation, although brief, let me know how much you enjoy teaching. Thanks,” (Ed O)
“I really was impressed with what I saw on your website and agree totally with your philosophy. We had been looking at different schools, but really feel yours has a special something. Thank you for doing a great job teaching Casey. You're the best. Casey took his Olympic medal from your class to school for Show & Tell––He is so proud.” (Marcia L)
“I want let you know I am very impressed to have found your school. This is what I was looking for: a more personal approach. We certainly would recommend your school to any of our friends.” (Rubi S)
“Riley is having the time of her life! She can't wait to go to the next lesson. She thinks she is a pro now! We were at the Lake on Friday and she was doing the front crawl and floating on her back all by herself.” s!
“Thanks a million.” (Raye D)
“I can already see Noah learning so much more from you than any place he's ever gone to before! I like your firm but loving approach. It was great to see those afraid at first to be totally fine after a few lessons.” (Traci V)
“The routine is good for them and they know what to expect as they learn. The variety of skills during the classes.” (Paula B)
“I really like all of the things that you teach the kids. Before Aaron started, he freaked out in the pool. You have made him much more secure and enthusiastic about the water. I think you have a very loving approach to teaching and, having tried others, you really teach good skills and water safety.” (Paula G)
“How well you worked with kids and how fast they learned. I especially liked the songs & games you played and the rewards. The (20 yr old) pictures were a lot of fun. The kids thought it was fun to see mom when she was in swimming lessons.” (Margaret I)
“The warm water, variety and availability of teaching aids, the awards & recognitions, the positive attitude. Good program, structured and good information. Cassy has been doing so well in her lessons, and I am so pleased with all of the little tricks she is learning about water safety, blink blink smile to get the water out of her eyes, and all of the new ideas you are teaching her. She absolutely loves to go to her lessons, and we look forward to them every week. I am so happy that she is not afraid of the deep water like she was at the beginning of the summer. I am happy to see that you are placing her in a class with children at the same skill level. It's great to watch her progress so much.” (Cristy P)
“…The Control and incremental teaching. We thought he acquired swimming skills for enjoyment throughout his life. Jameson thought it was fun to learn from someone who had been a competitive Synchronized Swimmer. Thank you.” (Amy P)

“I like being able to make up lessons when we went on vacation by coming on the "other" days when there were openings.” (Shellee T)
“Individual Attention. Teaching techniques. Smaller classes, individual Instruction. We've had a good experience. I'm afraid we'll be going through swimming lesson withdrawals over the next few weeks. It's been a great summer. THANK YOU for everything you do to make your program a quality one. I love the idea of an awards ceremony. I think that the awards are important to my kids and they love the recognition. I think you are a wonderful swimming teacher and so thoughtful to even think of offering a party to your families.” (Marla B)
“Graeme likes the Squid Toys and the prize at the end of the lesson.” (Sharman)

“Thank you so much for the extra time and effort you've put into this. It shows how much you care and makes you the extraordinary teacher that you are. Though it will be hard to squeeze in as we're loading our moving truck the morning of their last lesson. Thanks for all the time you gave Isaac in finishing up his Swimming Merit Badge. For a 12 yr old boy to appreciate a teacher's Xtra effort so much I found surprising. I feel much more confident about the kids in the water as they've been swimming on vacation.” (CaMarie H)
“Thank you for another great year of lessons. I never imagined the boys would be swimming as well as they are. Matthew made great progress. He really challenged himself.”
“Both girls did things I didn't know they could. We are all very excited about your class. They think it is really "cool" that you have your own Website!” (Jenny A)
“You are far for me, but we have looked for something closer, but they don't seem as good as you and don't have near the experience. We just love ya. We feel you're well worth the drive twice a week. Also, I don't really want to tell you this but your prices are only half and maybe even less than anyone else in Utah. Maybe you should consider upping your rates, especially with your technique and experience. You're well worth the money.” (Julie O)
