Highly recommend!!! I was blown away by the progress during the 5 day session. I thought for sure that it wouldn’t go well because my kids are 1.5 & 2.5 and barely listen to me but they both were successful at turn, kick, reach. I’m so proud of them! Loved coach Jamie! Our kids loved her and my husband and I felt like she explained the techniques in a way we could easily understand so that we can continue to practice at home.

We had such a wonderful experience with Coach Jamie! You can truly tell that teaching children to swim is her passion. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind, and she knew exactly how to help my daughter feel as comfortable as possible. She even had little soothing activities and transitions between skills, which made such a difference for my toddler.The program itself was fantastic. The simple cues like “turn, kick, and reach” were so effective that my daughter is now saying them on her own! I also really appreciated that Jamie took the time to explain exactly what we should continue practicing after lessons ended so we can keep building on everything she learned.Jamie made us feel supported every step of the way, and my daughter gained confidence in the water while having fun. We are so grateful for everything she taught us and highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated swim instructor!

We had an amazing experience with Jamie as our private swim instructor! Jamie was incredibly patient with our young children and knew exactly how to keep them engaged while helping them build confidence in the water. She was always punctual, professional, and made every lesson enjoyable. We were so impressed with her teaching style and the genuine care she showed our kids. We couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and highly recommend Jamie to any family looking for private swim lessons!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Baby Otter Swim School and with Coach Jamie. From the very first lesson, she was so kind, patient, and encouraging. She has a wonderful way of making kids feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn.You can truly tell she cares about each child and wants them to succeed. We saw so much growth in both confidence and swimming skills, and every lesson was something to look forward to.We're so grateful for Coach Jamie and highly recommend Baby Otter Swim School to any family looking for a positive, caring, and professional swim program.

We had an amazing experience with Baby Otter! Coach Jaime was absolutely wonderful. The first three days, my son was very fearful and anxious about swimming, and I wasn’t sure how quickly he would progress. Thanks to Coach Jaime’s patience, encouragement, and genuine love for teaching children, everything changed.By day five, my son was asking me to stand farther back so he could swim a longer distance on his own! The transformation in just one week was incredible. We are so grateful for the confidence and skills he gained through this program.I highly recommend Baby Otter and especially Coach Jaime to any parent looking for a caring, patient, and effective swim instructor. Thank you for making such a positive impact on our son! 🦦💙🏊‍♂️

My toddler enjoyed the lessons, looking forward to them each day, and there were definite skills he aquired through the program. I'm more comfortable with him being in the water now. Coach jamie advanced the lessons appropriately, allowing time to master the skills and keeping my little one engaged. She communicated clearly each day what he did well on, what he needed to practice, and was flexible when we had to have a make-up due to the weather. We will likely do more lessons in the future not just because they are helpful but also because my toddler is asking to do more.

Enjoyed working with Jamie and def think this method of swim lessons is best for the kids. My child learned so much

Coach Jamie was very good with my 20-month-old. She was patient, encouraging, and very punctual, which is so important for me on my mom/work schedule. She was also very culturally literate and respectful of diverse familial situations, as we speak only Spanish with our child. While Coach Jamie conducted the class in English, she did use some Spanish in an effort to comfort and better communicate with my baby, which worked!Results were quick. We had been going elsewhere at a local well-known swim school, but this was much more productive and would have saved us a ton of money if we had started with this. I do think our lengthy experience at the other swim school (with float swim float method) helped her to catch on much quicker than if we hadn't have had that previously, but either way, it is so nice Baby Otter teaches the parents how to keep practicing the techniques with them. The consistency of one full week in our own pool was super practical. If you have access to a private pool, this should be your first choice.Keep in mind, your baby might show that they are dreading the experience when the coach arrives each day. That is because they are nervous and expected to work. Mine cried the whole time every single day. Even so, every time Coach Jamie left, all my baby wanted to prattle on about was "kick, kick, kick". She was truly excited about it and it proved a fun challenge for her. When she was in the tub, she was teaching her rubber bath animal friends to "kick, kick, kick" and smiling and laughing. When she woke up from her nap, I asked her, "What did you dream about?" She said "kick, kick, kick". Now, all she wants to do is swim in the danged pool! I can't complain about free entertainment that wears her out. Better naps result but don't promise them more swimming when they wake... One day I took her out of the pool and she cried and cried, so I told her, don't worry, we can swim again after your rest a little. She then took a nap that was only 30 min instead of her typical 3 hour. Later I asked her, "hey, why didn't you take a longer nap today?" She looks at me and goes, "kick, kick, kick"! She was hanging on my promise....

Coach Jaime has been a huge blessing to our family! Both of my autistic toddlers will complete their 5 day training tomorrow. I am so amazed & pleased. Both of my children went from screaming & being uncomfortable on day 1 to having fun, practicing on their own time & swimming by day 3! With her consistency & training they would not be learning/grasping these life saving techniques. I’d recommend her to any family in need. THANK YOUU!!
