“I was barely an adequate swimmer prior to meeting with Amanda. I had a big fear of swimming in open water. Amanda has allowed me to conquer this fear to a great extent. I was able to learn how to swim in the comfort of my apartment’s pool. We also went out to the bay for an open water lesson upon my request. How cool is that? We covered simple fundamentals such as the flutter kick and cupping hands throughout my stroke. She’s very open to any questions you may have and extremely helpful during each drill. Every lesson was a great mix of fun and productivity. Though I won’t be trying out for the Olympics anytime soon, I have gained a lot of confidence from Amanda’s lessons. I would definitely recommend her as an instructor!”

Our swim lessons with Amanda exceeded our expectations. In just a couple months, our 7 year old went from being a timid beginner in the pool to being self-sufficient and confident. He learned to tread water, float, and several swim strokes. Amanda was extremely patient, flexible, and had a positive demeanor that instantly made our son comfortable and excited for swim lessons. Her ability to connect with our son and personalize his swim lessons to keep him engaged really made our swim lessons a joy!

“Amanda was our fourth swim instructor in as many months. Neither of my kids (ages 4 and 5) could actually swim when we started with her and within weeks they are both swimming both freestyle and backstroke completely independently. She's amazing. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.”

We were absolutely thrilled to discover Amanda. She is an excellent teacher! Amanda is very good with children, a skill not everyone possesses. My son looks forward to his lesson all week. Amanda mixes fun and education into each session, and our son has improved so much after just two lessons. We highly recommend Swim with Amanda!

I’ve been taking swim lessons with Amanda for the past two months as an adult and I couldn’t be happier with the progress we’ve made so far. In this short time frame, I went from super beginner to knowing how to freestyle, breathe, and tread.

She’s a wonderful and patient teacher who knows how to push and challenge you just the right amount.
If you’re on the fence about learning to swim or her as a teacher, I hope this review gives you some confidence that you’d be making the right choice working with her!

I took 8 lessons from Amanda earlier this year. I am 27 years old, never learned how to swim, and came into lessons with a fear of water. Amanda was patient, kind, and helpful during the whole process! I always felt safe, and learned so much In our short time together! By the end of 8 lessons I was able to swim about half way across the pool all on my own! I’ve already recommended two friends to Amanda because she has proven to be trustworthy, flexible, reliable, and fun!
