West Coast Swim School

Two family members have taken swim lessons with WCSS, both with April, the head instructor, and honestly we can’t say enough about her. She has decades of experience and it shows. The school advertises that it caters to individual needs and that’s exactly what April does, not just based on level of ability but also psychologically. If you have a fear of water, April takes that into consideration in everything she does. She pushes you just enough to help you advance without causing anxiety. She is as much coach as she is instructor. April also stresses that swimming should be enjoyable and relaxing, not just an athletic endeavor. She wants all her students to learn to love the water. We’re extremely happy that we enrolled with WCSS and recommend it to anybody looking for private or semi-private swim lessons.

Coach April is truly the best!! Her classes are worth every $ spent! We are so grateful! My son was in public swimming for a year without any progress. After 2 classes with April he started swimming and progressed very fast. My 2 kids now taking summer swim camp with coach Kristina and she’s fantastic as well!

We are so thankful to have found West Coast Swim School. Coach April has been so supportive to our special need son. She's the best coach we have ever had, very experienced, patient and understanding. We are really thankful to see the progress and how our son enjoys swimming. I would highly recommend this swim school!

April is an amazing coach! As family we had the pleasure to take semi private lesson with April. She is great for people who is afraid to swim (like me...not anymore!!) and for kids who want to improve their skills to get the life guard certificate. She is kind, caring and knowledgeable. We are so happy to have her as our coach.

The quality of instruction from coach April is outstanding! My not-quite 3 year old was swimming in 4 lessons! The one-to-one instruction really can't be beat, and coach April was very deliberate about building trust with my son so that he could relax and learn quickly. I'm thrilled that my young child will have some safety skills around water, and will be able to grow up enjoying swimming! I highly recommend making West Coast Swim School your first choice for private swim lessons!
