Fuller's Swim School

We love Fuller's Swim School! This is our second summer coming. They run on time and it's like a well oiled machine getting kids in and out every half hour. All the teachers are great with kids. With small classes, my child gets personal attention. My little guy has a minor gross motor delay. Swimming is very difficult for him. Through each session, his teachers have been very patient and work with the skill he's ready to tackle. I've always felt the kids are safe with plenty of staff watching. We'll be back next year!!! Highly recommend!

My four kids LOVED their classes and teachers and they made tremendous progress in the one week of lessons. Next summer we will definitely sign up for more than one week. The highlight of the summer! Very highly recommend!

Love Fuller’s Swim School! We wanted a more focused lesson than rec centers offer without needing to go to private lessons. Fuller’s is perfect! My water loving 6 year old couldn’t get enough of class and my water fearful 4 year old was quickly made to feel comfortable and confident. The teachers are amazing and my kids, even the tentative 4 year old LOVE jumping from the diving board and feeling proud of doing something a bit out of their comfort zone. We will be returning this year and for several more years I am sure!

If I were to base my review on the first 3 weeks of lessons, I would’ve recommended this school. My daughter (3yo) had a lot of fun and was starting to get comfortable with the water and learning how to swim. However, I am basing my review on the 4th (final) week of swim lessons. Day 2 of lessons, my daughter’s teacher left her underwater for an uncomfortable amount of time. I noticed my daughter starting to struggle underwater and the teacher waited far too long to pull her back up. Once she pulled her up, my daughter coughed up a bunch of water and puked in the pool. When I went over to grab my daughter, I told the teacher that she left my daughter underwater for way too long and she said absolutely nothing. Didn’t even acknowledge me. She just went to the next kid like nothing happened. I called the owner the next morning before class and told her that I was uncomfortable with my daughter’s teacher and that I didn’t want to bring her back for lessons. I told her that I wanted a refund and she refused. Basically told me that what happened to my daughter is normal, which it is definitely not. My daughter shouldn’t be drowning at swim lessons- hence the reason she’s at swim lessons. Her solution was to have a manager at the side of the pool watching my daughter swim. Fast forward to the final day of class- my daughter fell off the diving board onto concrete under their supervision. My daughter ended up in the ER with stitches on her eye ($1,300), bruising on her face and abdomen, and several abrasions. This was all within a matter of 4 swim lessons. After what happened to my daughter and how it was handled, we will not be returning and we do not recommend this school.

My kids have learned more in a friendly and fun environment from Fuller's school than at the local rec center for many years. They are not scared of the water anymore and are excited for swim lessons each time! Classes are small, feedback is personal and given immediately after they swim each time!
