Testimonials

"Coach Meg did wonders with our 3 year old daughter. We appreciated the convenience of having her at our home. Meg helped Layne gain confidence in the pool and in a short amount of time we had a little fish on our hands. She was beyond patient and caring and Layne loved her swim sessions. I would recommend anyone to Coach Meg!"

"Megan has been absolutely life changing for our family! She took our little spunky girl and turned her into a wonderful swimmer! Megan was patient from day 1 and really connected with our Ruby - in fact, Ruby asks for her swim classes every day! Megan is dedicated, honest, direct, and really really good with kids! I can't recommend her enough. We love her!"

"Megan is amazing! So impressed with her and how much my two year old has learned in such a short period. Within two weeks my two year old is swimming and I feel so much better about him being around the pool now. She is an excellent instructor and I would highly recommend her!"

"Megan is an amazing swimming instructor. Our son was so nervous when we told him he was going to have swimming lessons, but after his first lesson he was excited and looked forward to the next ones. In two weeks he learned so many different styles of swimming and diving…but most importantly he’s now confident in the water. Swimming lessons has been one of the best investments in our sons life.”
