Truly a fun and extremely safety oriented class. We missed the summer sessions sign up this year and tried somewhere else, came back as soon as fall sessions opened up because Alli Jo’s method is the best we’ve found. Appreciate Alli Jo and her team!

researching swim schools?! Look no further!! Highly recommend! My 4 year has done swim with a larger group setting which I felt like was good enough until we used Alli Jo's swim school! WOW is all I can say , the progress she has made in such a short amount of time has blown me away. We had coach Jake who has been such a great and patient swim instructor. She has gained so much confidence in the water! Sign up today you will not be disappointed!!

Alli Jo’s swim and Coach Jake are amazing! He makes the students feel comfortable quickly, encourages them in their efforts while gently pushing them to acquire new swim skills. Swim class with Alli Jo’s are the highlight of our son’s summer.

I can recommend enough, my girl loved it !!! She learned a lot in just a few days, she is now confident in the water, plus she learned how to float and to get herself safe in a pool. This part was the most important for me, now we are ready to enjoy summers a little less worried, looking forward to come back again next year for a refresh classes. Thank you Mrs. DJ, for your patience and your fun classes. Thank you to all the team in allijos swim school for the great experience.

We have done Alli Jo's for 3 summers now. Each time I wonder how the new coach is going to be just as good as the previous one. Every time I am blown away. All the coaches we have had are all amazing. They are firm, but kind, hold boundaries well, and instruct in a very fun way. They use phrases that I have adopted as a parent, such as "be a first time listener." The progress you see in 2 weeks is huge.

We love Alli Jo's Swim School! My son has now done two sessions, once when he was 3 and once when he was 5. His swimming improves exponentially each time. I love that the sessions are just two weeks and improvement is seen very quickly each time. After two weeks, his swim skills are leaps and bounds ahead of where he was. He is now confident in the water and I feel so much relief knowing he has the skills he needs. I always recommend this swim school to my friends. The condensed two weeks is such a time saver in the end vs going to swimming lessons once a week for months on end. I will be using this swim school again for my younger children in the coming years. Can I give 10 stars? I would if I could!
