Farnsworth Swim School is outstanding. The one on one instruction model that this school engages in is superior, in every way. The instructors for Farnsworth are personal, patient, and skilled. My two year old grandson loved the instruction. He was enrolled for two sessions. Absolutely, important to our family that our little ones are continuously trained to be water safe. Farnsworth gets it done. Sign up early to reserve your place for this summer for private swim instruction with Farnsworth Swim School.

This summer was our seventh season with Farnsworth Swim School. We keep coming back for a reason! Jaynie and her staff are wonderful. Our kids have become so confident in their ability to navigate safety in the pool and we've reached a new parenting level with not needing to always be by our kids side in the pool. We are grateful for the time and effort Jaynie and Christina put into organizing sessions, finding pools, and finding great instructors. We look forward to coming back next summer!

Farnsworth Swim School is amazing! They really made my children feel comfortable in the water without making it feel like "school." The instructors are all great, and are so helpful with helping each child reach their goal. When my kids came down with fevers, I contacted Farnsworth immediately, and they understood that I needed to cancel my lessons. They even followed up to make sure that my kids were doing well, and if there was anything they could do to help. I definitely plan on enrolling my kids again in Farnsworth. Thank you for making my kids feel water safe and comfortable!

Farnsworth Swim School has the best owner and instructors. The owners are organized and very easy to communicate with. The instructors are just the best with kids. They’re unbelievably patient and are willing to meet each student at their current level. Both of our kids have gone through Farnsworth. Our daughter was a water baby who we wanted to refine her strokes and build endurance while having fun. Our son was terrified of water before he came to Farnsworth, and our previous attempts at other swim schools failed. Farnsworth built up his confidence and helped him conquer his fear of water. After taking a few weeks of lessons over two summers, he went from timidly entering the pool to being able to swim all the major strokes, dive, and tread! Both of our kids now love water and, most importantly, are safe and confident swimmers.

Farnsworth Swim School has been essential in teaching my son to swim. He has been going since he was five and he is a very strong swimmer now. Before, we had tried a noisier school that totally intimidated my son. He needed the calm, private interaction that Farnsworth offers. The teachers make it fun, interesting and safe. He always wants to go back. I truly don’t think there’s a better method to teach kids safety and survival in the water. 5 stars!
