I can’t say enough good things about Waves of Hope! ❤️ After trying a few other swim lesson programs that just weren’t the right fit for us, I’m so grateful I found Nicole and Lisa. In just a month, I’ve already seen my son’s confidence in the water grow so much!! Nicole and Lisa are incredibly patient, kind, understanding, and encouraging with the kids. They have such a wonderful way of connecting with each child, keeping them engaged, and helping them learn at their own pace. I especially love that they’re not just teaching children how to swim, they’re teaching water safety and important skills that can truly help keep them safe. The smaller, more personal setting has been such a great fit for us, and my son genuinely looks forward to every lesson. I wholeheartedly recommend Waves of Hope! 10/10!!

My daughter started swim lessons at 16 months and was very apprehensive at first. Only a month later, we watched her become a confident and safe swimmer. She now cries because she doesn’t want to stop swimming and the lessons have even helped her progress in other areas. She is a late walker and her physical therapist recommended swim lessons as another way to help coordinate her movements. We are so thankful for Waves of Hope swim academy and feel confident in her safety in the water this summer!

Another raving review for Aqua Baby Swim School. Year after year we struggled teaching my son how to swim. We found Aqua Babies when my son was newly 4. We started off with only putting our head in the water for 2 seconds with a lot of tears in the beginning. It took us longer than most students to put the pieces together, but Nicole and Karl were so patient with him and were bound and determined to get this kid swimming safely. He passed his clothes on trial this past week and I couldn’t be more proud!! I am so incredibly thankful for this team for not giving up on my son and for teaching him how to swim safely and to love swimming! I cannot thank them enough for their patience, dedication, and hard work

Our 3 year old really enjoyed these lessons. She went from hating water on her face to being able to submerge her face into the pool within the first week. I loved that the instructor allowed her to pick/choose at times what she wanted to practice once she got the basics down. I look forward to enrolling my younger one next year!

10/10 highly recommended Aqua Baby Survival Swim School! From the start, Nicole has been nothing short of amazing! She called me before my daughter started the program to help ease my mind about how the program worked and to debunk any myths I had been told about this type of training. Just from our phone conversation, I knew she was going to give my daughter the best care and skills in the next 6 weeks! Here we are, the final week of swim and Nicole and Karl (her husband and swim specialist) provided nothing but the upmost care for my sweet girl! My daughter now has the confidence and skills to survive a water emergency! If you have considered this type of program for your child, don’t delay! This is the best gift you could give your child, especially in Arizona where pools are prevalent! Ditch the floaties and puddle jumpers that give kids a false sense of security and give them the true skills needed through their ISR program!

My 3 and 5 year old completed Aqua Baby Survival Swim School at the end of spring before summer and it was 100% worth it! Nicole did an amazing job teaching both kids to swim and float in the water. I am so happy that we were able to attend her lessons and have her teach the kids. They love to be in the pool and are not afraid of the water. My 5 year old is an amazing swimmer and love to drive down in the 6 foot pool for toys. My 3 year old was afraid of the water when we started and now jumps right in and is am amazing swimmer.
