We cannot say enough good things about Lauren and the experience we have had since she became our child's swimming instructor. Lauren is in a class of her own! Lauren has always made the experience fun and relatable to the level at which our child was. Lauren has this way of engaging with our child that builds trust and connection, which has correlated to his success in the water. Lauren has built up our child's confidence by using encouraging words, celebrating his small wins with each new skill learned, and by being so very patient and empathetic in his growth and development. Lauren has this natural ability to connect, support, and encourage our child to be better in each and every lesson. Lauren is extremely professional, has excellent communication skills, and offers us ways to help our child continue and maintain their progress between lessons. Our child enjoys their time with Lauren so much that they speak about her at home and even wanted us to call Lauren to just say "hello" because she was missed so much LOL. Lauren is simply the best and we are so very grateful to have her in our lives to teach our child one of the most important life skills. Thanks Lauren!

Lauren was amazing! I’m learning to tread water which is scary and she had some great tips, looking forward to more lessons :)

My daughter wasn't too fond of putting her face in the water and after only 3 visits Lauren has got her dunking her whole head under water! Great instructor, she makes it the perfect amount of fun for them to stay engaged!
