I am so impressed with the quality of the swim
program at Sue's. My children love the water, and I feel so much
safer knowing that they have the skills to get out of the pool
should they ever fall in. My daughter wakes up every morning and asks if we
are going to see Sue today, and presents me with a huge smile when I
tell her yes. I plan on keeping my children in lessons for
years to come.

We've been coming to Sue's for four
years now and we can't think of a better program. We love the
individual lessons and feel that the children lean more with intense
individual attention. We highly recommend Sue's Swim School to
everyone. Our children have learned to swim after two seasons.

My son started the parent and me class when he was
6 months old. After only two sessions he is not only extremely
comfortable in the water, but 100% safer as well. The skills and
techniques my two children and I have learned from Sue have been worth
every penny and more!

Our son, Daniel, started swimming
lessons at Sue's Swim School in the summer of 2003 when he was 1 1/2.
A lot of the initial instruction concentrated on water safety and
getting comfortable in the water. Daniel progressed quickly
developing his swimming skills under Sue's guidance. He is
confident and careful in the water. Sue's nurturing encouragement
and teaching techniques are validated every day Daniel jumps into our
neighborhood pool. Daniel has never used "floaties" or "wings."
He looks forward to his lessons and his smile indicates how much fun he
has. People constantly point in amazement at our little guy when
he dives into the pool and swims back to the side. We are
extremely pleased and proud with Daniel's swimming abilities.
Thank you Sue for doing such a great job.

"Swimming Miss Susan! Swimming Miss
Susan!" This is how our 2-year-old daughter begins and
ends the days she has swimming lessons at Sue's Swim School.
Sue has quickly become one of our daughter's most trusted and
loved friends. Her progress in the pool has astounded us.
We watch her at her lessons and say, "Wow! Look what she
can do!"
--Pat & Valerie - San Ramon, parents of Ann Marie 3 |
We put in a pool when our
son was an infant. Our foremost concern was water safety. I
had heard about Sue's Swim School from other women in my mother's group
and enrolled my son in Sue's Parent and Me class when he was 10 months
old. By the end of the summer he was able to hold his breath long
enough to swim under Sue's legs and up to me! He continued to take
lessons for a total of five summers, and became a very safe and
confident swimmer. When my daughter was one year old she followed
suit. She had been born two months premature, and I knew that
premature children sometimes lagged behind in motor development.
Sue taught her in the Parent and Me Class, and then in private lessons.
She is now 4 years old and in her fourth summer of swim lessons with
Sue. Our family and friends are amazed to see how strong and
competent she is in the water. She dives for pool toys at the
bottom without hesitation, and swims a beautiful freestyle stroke across
the length of the pool. Sue's teaching method is positive, firm
and consistent. She is always respectful of her students and both
of my kids love her. Sue's swimming lessons have given me peace of
mind, and have given my kids a strong sense of accomplishment and
self-confidence. I think they will prove to be the introduction to
life-long enjoyment and participation in physical fitness.

Sue has a wonderful program! My children
could not hold their breath in the water after a full summer at the
community pool. After two sessions with Sue my 7 year old was
swimming the width of the pool, and my 4 year old could dive for rings
and pull herself out of the pool after jumping in. At 11 months
old I started my son; he could swim before he could walk. Thank
you!

I first started taking my son to Sue's
Swim School when he was almost two. We started with the Parent and
Me Classes, then went on to private lessons. When we first started
my main concern was water safety. My son was strongly opposed to
the concept of submerging his face in water , and for the first six
lessons complained with crying and screaming. All of the
instructors at Sue's Swim School are extremely well trained at dealing
with this behavior. They are consistent with their expectations of
the children and do not allow their crying to get in the way.
Though the lessons are only fifteen minutes, the professionalism and
techniques Sue teaches go a long way in that short period of time.
Within just a few lessons my son learned how to reach the wall of the
pool to get to safety. My son is now in his second summer at Sue's
and everywhere I take him other parents are amazed by his swimming
ability. They can't believe he can swim so well and is not even
three years old. The time and money you spend on the lessons is an
incredibly good value considering how Sue's Swim School can not only
teach your children water safety, but how to become confident swimmers
as well.
--Nivia - San Ramon, mother of Chase 3 1/2 |
If you want your child to feel
confident about being in the water, Sue's Swim School is a MUST for you.
Sue's techniques are effective and the results are almost immediate.
--Joan & Marty - Danville, parents of Cole 3 |
Our son Michael, who is now 5, has
been a student at Sue's Swim School since he was 7 months old.
Wherever we go (County Club, swimming parties or events, or on
vacations) the other parents can't believe how well our son can swim.
They always say, "your son swims like a fish!" My husband and I
are so grateful to Sue's Swim School. Now our 10 month old,
Andrea, is also a student of Sue's. We wouldn't go anywhere else!
--Pearl - Alamo, mother of Michael 6 and Andrea 2 |
Water safety was the utmost importance
to me and actually learning to swim was an added bonus. To my
surprise both came quickly and easily to both of my kids. IN fact,
the Speedo rep can't even believe he has to order a swimsuit so small
because my 4 year old is now capable of being on the swim team! My
21 month old is also swimming on his own. When he is done he knows
to give Sue "five" and she "picks him up." I am so pleased with
Sue and her swim school not only for my kids, but for me. All
summer we are around water and I can relax my brain, not my eyes,
knowing that my kids are safe in the water. If results are what
you are looking for then Sue's Swim School is where you should be!
Thanks!

My son has been taking lessons at
Sue's Swim School for the past 5 years. He has learned so much,
and absolutely loves his lessons. He started taking lessons at 18
months old; our main reason for starting the lessons has always been
water safety. However, along with the great safety lessons he has
learned he has also become a very good swimmer! I would recommend
Sue's Swim School to anyone who wants friendly, quality and expertise
lessons for their child.
--Michelle - San Ramon, mother of Brad 7 |
Words cannot express how thankful I am
to Sue and her excellent instructors. A year ago my daughter would
not leave the steps at the shallow end; a problem I never thought she
would overcome. Now she is diving from the deep end with no fear.
My son is water safe and thoroughly enjoys being in the water. My
children have learned skills at Sue's that will be with them forever.
--Candace - Danville, mother of Samantha 8 and Ethan 5 |
In Sue's class, safety comes first.
Sue uses unique techniques that make sense and even better...they work!
Kate is my second child to attend Sue's. The first one is a very
competent young swimmer. Thanks Sue!
--Celia - Alamo, mother of Kate 2 1/2 months |
All four of my children have
participated in Sue's Swim School. I chose Sue's Swim School based
on a friend's recommendation and it was on of the best investments I've
made for the safety of my children. Sue's teaching style is safe,
consistent and very effective. As a mother I felt confident my
children were being taught first, how to be safe in the water, and
eventually the skills to be independent swimmers. And for my kids
- they love it! The staff is friendly and professional and all the
instructors are excellent. Sue has a program for every child at
every age from my 6 year-old twins to my 16 month-old daughter. As
a child I spent every summer in the pool with my brothers and sisters
and now my children can do the same and be safe! Thanks to Sue and
her Swim School.
--Nicole - Alamo, mother of Rocco 4 and Jovanna 2 |
If you live in California, nothing is
more important than teaching your children to respect the water and
become confident swimmers at a young age; Sue's Swim School and its
instructors deliver outstanding results on both counts. With a
compassionate but no nonsense approach Sue and her team will teach the
skills needed so that your children become strong swimmers while just as
importantly adding to your peace of mind. With the results we have
received I would whole heartily endorse Sue's Swim School for kids of
any age.
