What Our Clients Say About Kidtastics
I cannot recommend Laurie and Kidtastics enough! My son is more on the timid side but Laurie is fantastic at raising his confidence level and showing him that swimming is fun with toys, games and songs. Water safety is her number 1 priority and I know my son will be swimming in no time.
Ashly was amazing! Our 3 year old son wouldn’t put his face in the water, we were worried he wouldn’t do well with swim lessons. Ashly had him swimming like a fish by the end of the 2 weeks, going all the way under, we couldn’t believe it. I feel so much safer with him in the water now. Thank you Ashly!
This is our second summer with Kidtastics and we are so impressed once again with the progression our 5 1/2 year old made. Ashly is a wonderful instructor. She is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. She shared wonderful tips and made sure she knew what motivated our little swimmer. We really saw a jump in his confidence after two weeks. Thank you for a job well done! We are very happy to be repeat customers and will continue to refer other families to Kidtastics!
