This is my grandson’s second time with the Farnsworth swim school. The first time he took lessons, he was afraid to get his head wet. Now my grandson loves the water, isn’t afraid to get his head wet, put in face under the water. He has improved so much under Farnsworth’s swim instructors. Their direction, dedication and positive reinforcement has given my grandson all the confidence he needed. He is now water safe and is learning to swim while having fun! He is not afraid of water and is treading and floating by himself. We LOVE the Farnsworth Swim School.

We had a wonderful experience with our 2.5 year old daughter this summer. These were her first swim lessons ever, so she was a little bit fearful. Her teacher did an amazing job of being extremely patient and caring, but she also pushed her the perfect amount. It was really hard to listen to her crying the first few days, but Im so glad that we stuck it out because she was smiling and laughing by day 4! SO happy with our whole experience, well definitely be back next year!

We started at this school about 2 years ago with my older son . He was not yet there when we would do the once a week swim lessons at a major large fitness complex . I spoke to Jaynie back then and found her very patient and understanding . She recommended 2 sessions for him and sure enough he managed to float at do freestyle by the end of those . As far as safety was concerned this was huge for me since we travel overseas frequently and swim a lot .For my younger one who is 5.5 due to coronavirus, we were not able to get him in the pool for 2 yearsI knew he had anxiety in water and had forgotten about the one session he did at farnsworth with his brother few years ago .Jaynie recommended 2-3 sessions for him since he was a total beginner and had a high level of anxiety .He started with Leena who was excellent from the beginning . She was not able to continue with him and he needed session 2 . Neel helped him get to almost floating but we ran out of days due to non availability .We practiced regularly and My son was able to on his own get to floating based on skills taught by the school . They had asked us to practice his kicking regularly and that gave him confidence to float on his own .We wrapped up with one more session with Leena so with a total of 3 sessions my son is floating and doing strokes along with diving .Along with that he loved his teacher and it was a very pleasant fun experience for everyone .I recommend his school to everyone who is looking for an accelerated program for their kids to learn within a few weeks .Thank you jaynie for being so great .

We completed our second year of lessons with the Farnsworth Swim School and were incredibly pleased with the results. Our son, now 4 1/2, is comfortable in the water, comfortable swimming with his face down, as well as diving, floating on his back and treading water. Jaynie listened to my water safety concerns and goals and was able to exceed my expectations. I find the school very professional and the instructors talented in working with children. My son is learning valuable life/survival skills and still had fun while doing so - he looked forward to every one of his lessons. Thank you, Jaynie!

We have been doing swim lessons at Farnsworth Swim School for 2 years now, and I recommend them 100%! The teachers have all been super attentive and friendly. Because it is a 1:1 program, they are able to get the students confident in swimming very quickly. I saw my own kids blossom as swimmers and get water safe in as little as 3 days- this method WORKS!Additionally, they followed all of the protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep my family and students safe. If you’re looking for an effective, courteous, easy-to-use swim school, Farnsworth is the one to use!

We were fortunate enough to be on their email list and reserve our spots for the whole summer. Our experience was nothing but positive. My son came with some fear of water and not being able to be on his own for more than a single stroke. Within the first week he was swimming short distances and looking forward to each lesson. He progressed fast, swimming across the pool on his own by the mid of the fourth week or sooner and by the end of the eighth week he was swimming on his own across the pool using freestyle technique, breathing on the side, and also using backstroke. We could easily compare our experience to other pools where we had our older kid take classes once a week and the progress there was way slower after a year of attending.The organization and ease of registration were also top notch. Cannot wait to continue lessons with them again next summer. I will wholeheartedly recommend giving them a try!

My son started taking private swim lessons at Farnsworth Swim School the summer of 2019 when he was 2 1/2. He cried a ton the first few days but the owners of the school assured me that was normal and it was OK, and sure enough, by the end of the week, he was loving every minute of class. He was back with them again this summer (2020) and he is now an amazing swimmer and is always eager to get to class. And hes not even 4 years old! It is such a relief to watch him swim the length of the pool without needing any assistance and to observe him having so much confidence in himself. He is proud of himself! I also have older stepchildren who are in their 20s now and they remember taking lessons at Farnsworth Swim School with the original founder/owner... Quite a legacy for this well-run community business. They are a local treasure!

My boys have been at Farnsworth Swim School ever since they were 2 and 3 years old. This year, they will be 6 and 7 - so this will be our 4th year! Why we love Farnsworth:1 - They offer 1:1 swimming lessons2 - The instructors, the owner and the people who run it know what theyre doing and are 100% professional3 - The instructors are super knowledgable and know how to work with all ages - from babies to adults.4 - Your child WILL swim! If mine can, yours will too :)So let me tell you this - its a process. When my 2 and 3yos first started swimming, they were CRAZY afraid of water. Whenever Id take them to a pool, theyd cry, wrap their legs around my hip and never let go. The first summer we took classes at Farnsworth, Ill be honest, they cried alot. The instructors at Farnsworth were so patient and never got frustrated at my boys even though they practically cried the entire time during some of the sessions. It took a week for them to stop crying and even then, theyd whine every time I took them, but after a week, they got better. I started to see progress. They havent learned how to swim yet, but they were accepting being in the water, and back then, my only goal was for them to just be comfortable being in the pool. So come summer #2, it was rough at first again, it took them a week to overcome their fears since they havent swam all year round (which brings me to another topic: you might ask, Isnt it better to swim all year round? You can, many parents schedule in swimming only on the weekends and once a week just isnt enough for your kids to learn how to swim. They have to swim every day, consecutively for them to train their muscles - and memory! Trust me on this, I too questioned it and my kids learned how to swim this way, so Im a firm believer). OK I got sidetracked, back to summer #2, where they finally got comfortable in the water and started to learn how to swim, but still wasnt able to swim from one side to another yet, but, baby steps. Summer #3 (just last year), my oldest who was 6yo at the time FINALLY learned how to swim from one side to the other (HALLELUJAH!). I felt like all the money Ive ever spent on swimming was FINALLY worth it. And get this, he also learned how to do the butterfly and breast stroke, in ONE summer. I think once you get over the fear, you just soar! I think alot of it has to do with age too and practice of course. When my sons instructor knew he wasnt afraid of the water anymore, she knew how to encourage and push him to his ability. It was AMAZING to watch my oldest learn how to swim and my youngest son is almost there too. This summer is going to be great, I know it already.Oh and I need to also add - you dont get ribbons for every little milestone like other swimming classes do. At Farnsworth Swim School, after every 2 weeks, you get a report card, checking off the things youre able to do and if they cant check off all the boxes, you are still at the level youre at until you can move on to the next step. Theres ALOT of things you need to complete, which makes completing it THAT much more worthwhile and fulfilling. My boys were so proud every time they got to move up to the next level, they felt a strong sense of accomplishment.If you are looking for a school that will teach your child(ren) how to swim, look no further.
