A parent’s perspective
★★★★★“Our son went from being terrified of the water to absolutely loving it after his very first class with Dean!”
“We’ve only ever done group swimming lessons and I was truly blown away, how fast my son learned and mastered skills through an Ilios instructor.”
“Both kids jumped two levels in two weeks and enjoyed every minute of their swim lessons with Mateo! They both gained improved confidence in the water and strengthened their skill set, we can’t wait until next year!”
“They are very well organized and quick to reschedule for rain days. This was our 4th year with Ilios which shows just how much we love it there!”
“The one-on-one sessions were especially beneficial as they allowed the instructors to focus on her individual needs and help her build confidence and swimming skills.”
“My 3 year old daughter was instructed by Milena who was incredibly patient and kind, and went above and beyond to facilitate and fun and effective learning environment for her. Her progress over the course of the summer was amazing.”
“She built trust at our daughter’s pace, celebrated every accomplishment, and helped her become more confident and comfortable in the water. By the end of the season, she was swimming with so much confidence—she was a fish!”
“In the past 8 years we have been through 3 different swim programs with no success for my 11 year old. That changed when we finally found Ilios Swim School! After only a few lessons, my child was finally swimming.”
“I noticed progress after his very first lesson, and by the end of the program his confidence and ability in the water had improved so much.”
“I tried community center swing lessons and after weeks the improvement was minimal. After working with Dean from Ilios, I can can see a massive improvement in their abilities and confidence.”
“Both my boys did two sessions with Mateo and Olivia. The progress they made was incredible! We went from having a child who held on to us in the pool to a child that was comfortable and excited about swimming.”
“My eldest is now jumping in lakes and swimming like a pro with confidence! Thank you for your expert and patient instruction Matteo. The boys will continue to return every summer until they’re done their levels!”
“The one-on-one format has been especially helpful, as the lessons are personalized to the swimmer’s needs and progress. We’ve seen great improvement and, most importantly, a lot more confidence in the water.”
“I have signed up both my sons with Ilios Swim school for 2 years now. I can’t recommend them enough! Mateo & Selim have worked with both boys and they are so engaging, understand the balance of fun and safety which I appreciate so much!”
“Mateo and Milena are so patient and supportive—my daughter has gained so much confidence in the water. She loves coming to class. Highly recommend!”
“They both gained confidence with being in the water and jumping into the deep end. The instructors were always calm and went along with the kids comfort level.”
“She learned so much in such a short amount of time and we couldn’t believe the progress she made! Her confidence in the water improved so much!”
“My son has made incredible progress in such a short time – his confidence in the water has grown so much, and he’s swimming better than I ever imagined. My daughter is using her lessons to fine-tune her technique, and the attention to detail has really taken her skills to the next level.”
“The School is very welcoming and well run. Big thanks to Mateo for being so professional, patient and organized through the whole process, and to instructor Dean for making my son feel so comfortable in the water.”
“Our instructor, Dean, was experienced and did a fantastic job of correcting any improper swimming techniques without discouraging them.”
