Why We Swim With Carmel Swim Academy: Hear from our Customers

“We love CSA! Our daughter has been in CSA programs for a couple of years and has learned very quickly. We also appreciate that safety is a top priority. We have tried a popular franchise swim school nearby and it doesn’t compare to the quality of Carmel Swim Academy teachers and programs. We look forward to keeping both of our kids in lessons at CSA to ensure they are strong and safe in the water!” 

-Hilary McNutt

“My kids have been to four major swim schools in Carmel and I can confidently say CSA is the best in town. My three-year-old daughter went from being scared of water to loving it and even swimming a short distance in just four months. Instructors are really focused on teaching the right techniques from the beginning, giving you all the necessary skills to join Carmel Swim Club, if wanted. Also, the 3:1 ratio in younger classes makes a huge difference, in comparison to 4:1 like most other schools. The progress I’ve witnessed is amazing and I am very grateful to CSA and their amazing team for helping my kids strive.”

-Oksana Bussell

“Our daughter started attending Carmel Swim Academy for swimming after a recommendation from a friend. We love having her swim lessons there and she has made great progress. We get monthly reports with details on her progress and if we have to miss for whatever reason there is a simple process to make up classes. My favorite part is a lower ratio of child to teacher, which means more actual swimming for her in each class than other places.

-Kelly Schenkman

Choosing Carmel Swim Academy was the best decision for our family. Their emphasis on water safety, coupled with the instructors’ exceptional rapport with kids, has made every lesson a joy for our children. Moreover, their flexibility in scheduling ensures swimming remains a seamless part of our routine. Highly recommend!”

-Holly Saik

“We have now had both of our children go from the inability to swim on their own to proficient swimmers in a short amount of time through the Carmel Swim Academy.  Nicole made the kids feel comfortable in the water and excited to go to swim lessons each week.  In addition, they are very flexible if you need to change a day or time.  We tried many different swim lesson companies early on and CSA was leaps and bounds above the rest.  We highly recommend CSA not only for true beginners but to develop your child’s swimming skills as they become stronger swimmers.” 

-Michael Masilonis

“Our young kids have been taking swim lessons for almost two years with Carmel Swim Academy. At the time we started, they loved being in the water with family members, but we wanted to ensure they were safe while near water and could strengthen their swimming strokes. We’ve been so pleased with the small class sizes, individualized attention, flexible scheduling and reasonably priced lessons. We look forward to more time with Carmel Swim Club!”

-Amy Adams

“I love the Carmel Swim Academy! My kids have been coming for lessons for about four years now, and I wouldn’t take them anywhere else. The swim instructors are very good with all different age groups my children have been in. The group lessons have just enough other kids so each kid gets a breather between learning new skills, but not enough to get bored while waiting. My kids have all become very confident in the water and they love to come for lessons. We look forward to moving along through swim lessons and hope to join Carmel Swim Club in the future!”

-Nicki Thomas

 

“I want to tell you how impressed I was with our first experience last evening.  The staff on the pool deck and teachers were so friendly, encouraging and positive.  Emma was able to work hard, learn so much and really practice swimming.  We have been to two other local swim schools and I was so disappointed with the amount of time Emma was actually swimming and the lack of progress.  She grew so much just last evening in one session.  Her teacher was phenomenal.  We cannot wait to be back next week.  She felt so proud and did not stop smiling all night!”

-Mandy Spurgeon

 

“Both of our girls have taken lessons with the Carmel Swim Academy and have enjoyed them immensely. I felt that the lessons made them better and more confident swimmers.  The lessons and direction helped to prepare our oldest daughter for Carmel Swim Club. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is very friendly. I would highly recommend checking out the Carmel Swim Academy for swimming lessons!”

-Christine Ermel

“Carmel Swim is a fantastic program for kids of all ages.  We started our girls in lessons when they were 3 and 6. Our oldest is now a part of the swim team with Carmel Swim Club.  It was an easy and smooth transition to move from lessons to swim team. The swim lessons have taught our girls to be confident swimmers.  The coaches are all super friendly and work with each child based on their level and skills. We have been super happy with the progress made each month with swim lessons.”
