She works well with kids. She was very patient with our child. She did very well with balancing our child's personality. She showed a lot of patience and ability to get him back on task with distractions in the pool. She's soft spoken, which made it a bit challenging to get feedback and updates on progression. Overall, great interaction with our child and we will keep in touch with her to use her in the future.

My lessons with Weston have been FANTASTIC!!! My goals were a stretch giving I was working toward my scuba diving certification and starting at ground zero of not knowing how to swim. Weston brought to the table skill sets that my previous swimming instructors lacked... Patience, a broad range swimming experience, and the insight required to teach an adult to swim vs. a minor. I would highly recommend Weston to ANYONE of any age (especially adults) who are beginning this journey or even looking to improve their swimming skills!
What an incredible journey from ground zero toward your scuba certification! We're thrilled Weston's patience and experience made such a difference for you. Thank you for recommending him so warmly!
Had a great experience with sunsational swim! Our instructor, Kristin, was fantastic! She was so patient and sweet with our 20 month old. Definitely recommend!
Miss Piper has been absolutely wonderful with Lincoln. He’s become so much more comfortable and confident in the water, and we’ve loved watching him progress each week. She’s patient, encouraging, and truly great with little ones. We’re excited to continue lessons with her next summer.
What a joy to hear how Lincoln has grown in confidence with Miss Piper! We'll let her know how much her patience and encouragement mean to your family. Looking forward to next summer!
Keira was amazing with my son. She made him feel very comfortable, he overcame his nerves very quickly with Keira. Within six lessons he made some really great progress, far quicker than I expected. Keira was very professional, safety forward, and just all around great! Would highly recommend!
Daniel, this means so much to us! Keira truly has a gift for building comfort and confidence in the water, and we're thrilled your son progressed so quickly with her.

Kristin was a great swim instructor for our kids! She was kind and encouraging. Our kids came away more confident and progressed in their skills.
Sarah, we're so glad Kristin brought that kindness and encouragement to your kids' lessons! It's wonderful to hear how much more confident they've become in the water.
I loved that Tiffany took my granddaughter from a girl who was afraid to put her face in the water, to a girl who loves to swim and put her face in the water.
Elizabeth, what wonderful progress! Tiffany will be so happy to hear your granddaughter now loves putting her face in the water. Thank you for sharing this.
