What Parents Are Saying —

Sarah is an amazing teacher who knows how to encourage kids to reach their potential.

Sarah is an amazing teacher who knows how to encourage kids to reach their potential. My 2 daughters (5 and 8) took swim lessons from her and went from being afraid to go under water to swimming independently in a short period of time.

She knows how to make kids comfortable and then stretch them just barely beyond their comfort zone, which enables them to progress quickly in both their swimming abilities and their confidence in the water. I highly recommend her if you are looking for swim lessons for your kids.

We started coming to Miss Sarah last summer for our children’s swim lessons. Our oldest had just turned seven, but because of COVID had never been to any swim lessons. We wanted a private teacher so all our children could be together, especially since our five year old was very nervous.

Sarah is a pure marvel! Our children all adore her, and my husband and I so enjoy chatting with her. Our seven year old loved the lessons, and even the five year old and three year old were getting into the water by the end of summer. We’re all looking forward to seeing Miss Sarah again this coming summer.
