Not a good teacher for kids younger than 10. I did not know I was taking my kids to a boot camp style swim lesson. I gave it 4 lessons, she berated my 4 year old today and made her stand in the pool, "not sit", and couldn't do anything but stand in one place. She's a tough lady and we read that in the review, they make you pay upfront for all the lessons and offer no refunds, BUYER BEWARE!! My 8 year old was always nervous about going and never warmed up to her. My mother in law, who owns 2 very successful and respected child care centers,attended the lesson today, she was not afan of the teaching methods. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt due to the money we invested, it was a poor decision on my part. If you love your kids, avoid this class. Trust these bad reviews.

If I could give no star, I would. Took my 2 grandsons, ages 3 and 5. She put them in the pool and began her fear camp. She never explained to them what she wanted them to do or that they needed to hold their head under water. So when they would bring their head up, she forcefully would hold them under water. To watch them struggle and her continue to hold them under water was horrific. They went in smiling and excited and within minutes were crying and begging me to leave. The oldest one had nightmares for 3 days that she was drowning his brother. I do not recommend her for anyone. I wished I would have read her reviews before I paid her $500 for 1 lesson.

April is an incredible instructor for little ones learning to swim. She is patient, makes the kids laugh, and is consistent with her teaching. My 3 year old son has learned an immense amount in our short amount of time taking lessons with her. She likes to get to know the parents and encourages them to get involved at home as well, which I like. If you're looking for a swim teacher, I would highly recommend going to Aqua April!!

Took my 2 grand boys, ages 20 months and 4. She has a very gruff demeanor. She made no attempt to gain their trust. Didn't even talk to them first. The baby screamed the entire time and she just said he was fine and kept telling him, I got you, your safe with me in a stern voice. He had zero confidence in her. She was better with the 4 yr old but not great. I would say take your older kids, not young ones.

she is absolutely horrible. if i could give her negative stars i absolutely would. she doesn't even show for the lesson when she says she is going to. or even better she shows but she goes somewhere else and doesn't communicate with you until the lesson os completely missed and then makes you pay for a missed lesson shes just a scam artist.

Mrs. April is absolutely great at what she does. Thought my son how to swim, float and dive in a very short time. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking to have their kid learn to swim.

My granddaughter takes gymnastics here. Place is clean and coaches give kids a lot of one on one attention. Coaches are adults not older students like some other places have which I feel is a plus.
