This has been such a great school for my daughter to continue her swim lessons even through the winter. She loves swimming and thoroughly enjoys her classes and her teachers. We feel like they do a lot of lessons and technique so that the students learn the correct way to swim. The facility is very clean and well organized and the staff are super friendly and happy to help with anything. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Ms. Lindsey is absolutely AMAZING! After moving up classes, my son suffered a setback and became fearful of going under water. We were on the verge of giving up lessons completely. Ms. Lindsey got in the water with him one-on-one and found a way to rebuild his confidence. She is kind, patient and our life saver. Thanks Ms. Lindsey!

We love this place. Theyre always so kind. We finally just got back in since they first closed in March and I liked the changes I saw for covid as far as chairs set apart from each other, masks inside, and pretty much every class was 1:1. Technically supposed to be two students per teacher but Im guessing many didnt show. Either way still a great ratio. My 5yo had the absolute best transition back in and looked completely comfortable with everything her instructor had her do, new and old things. My 2yo was admittedly much more hesitant and clung to me like crazy, which she hasnt done since starting at 6mo old! But understandable after such a long break. She still had an amazing time and cried when we had to leave, so i know she will be relaxed again very soon.

We are very new to Little Otters Swim School, heard nothing but great things and my children love their swim instructor. Weve had some hiccups along with way with some miscommunication but they did work with me to correct the miscommunication. Friendly staff, clean facilities and instructors are great with the children. Especially those that may initially be shy!

Absolutely the best staff and facilities.Our 6 year old granddaughter loved her instructor. By correcting a location mixup on our end Sherry jumped in and made sure the long awaited first lesson took place. Thank you everyone at Little Otter for going above and beyond!!

After 5 months at little otter I took my daughter out after she was in the first level “starfish” and they wouldn’t move her up. I told them she was completely swimming on her own (meaning on top of the water, face in, kicking and using her big ice cream scoop arms). I told them she swam two lap lanes over to the stairs in our pool. They didn’t seem to care at all and told me she was only holding her breath for them for 6 seconds from the platform to the wall and it needed to be 10 seconds in order for her to move up. I said well then the platform needs to be moved back because there’s no where else to go but come up since she’s at the wall. They still suggested we reevaluate things in a couple of weeks. I called the next day and pulled her out. Feel like they definitely do not care about the progress of the child and are just money hungry. Don’t waste your money and find a private teacher instead.

Overall a good experience. Clean, nice facility. Good, friendly instruction, my kids enjoyed their classes. I did cancel due the fact that I got tired of sitting on waiting lists for the appropriate class. I probably would consider private lessons so my kids can get the proper instruction at thier skill level.

My son is breezing through these classes so well, I attribute that to their teaching style. He absolutely loves music and they do singing for well over half the class. The singing is not hard to remember either, or annoying, which is great for me. We have Sabrina as our teacher and she is a huge asset to this company! She really pays attention to all of the students to watch for their grasp of skills. Then she offers advice for how to help them understand better on an individual basis based on their needs and how they learn. She also encourages the parents to get to know one another considering we see each other for 30 minutes every week. The facility is always clean and the pools are always warm. This school is absolutely a 100 in my book!

Little otters has a very set curriculum, which is great if you start here. However, our boys (age 3) took private lessons over the summer before starting at little otters; during that time, they learned to kick and swim short distances with their head/face in the water. When we signed up for the 3 year old class, our boys were instructed to no longer kick to propel themselves. They were also discouraged from putting their faces in the water when swimming from one place to another. I informed the manager on duty that this was actually hindering what they had learned previously, and she said they would evaluate them. After a month, they were never evaluated and never moved to another class. Complete waste of money compared to the previous lessons (which actually cost less than little otters too). While the staff/instructors are very nice and great with the kids, I believe that this program would be better suited for a child that has had 0 experience with water, or needs a particularly slow start.TLDR: Slow progression, not cost effective
