Swim instructor Sonya is such a wonderful coach. My 5 year old always looked forward to the swim lessons with her. She is patient, punctual, keeps parents posted on progress by thoughtful follow ups after class, and has the tact needed to work with the kids. My daughter has gotten over her scare to hold her breath under water which was holding her back. And now she is a confident independent swimmer, kudos to Sonya’s guidance and patience. She tries to make lessons enjoyable and fun. Highly recommend Sonya!
