My daughter loves Barron swim!! We started just before her second birthday in the parent and tot class and now she has graduated to little juniors. She looks forward to her class every week. All of the instructors are phenomenal and great with the kids. My daughter started out very timid at first, now she is so comfortable with being in the water. She is getting more confident each week.

My daughter has been coming to Barron since she turned 3 and was able to take junior classes. Now in girls gymnastics, she looks forward to class every week and loves showing off her skills to family members and friends. It has taught her how to work hard to achieve her goals and has given her so much confidence in herself. Can’t recommend Barron enough!

Both my children have had a great experience learning to swim at Barron. I have watched not only their skills improve, but their confidence as well. The small class sizes, positive reinforcement, and the dedicated teachers truly makes a differences. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming. They also are intentional to teaching safety in the water, all while making it fun. Couldn’t be happier with our choice!
