"10/10 would recommend"

"10/10 would recommend swimming with Erin! Both my son and daughter have taken lessons with her. Erin is so patient and knowledgeable. You can’t go wrong!" - Alexandra

"Love for swimming blossom over the summer"

"Erin is an amazing instructor! She works well with kids of all ages and I saw my 3-year old’s confidence and love for swimming blossom over the summer. We loved going to the beach as a family for lessons. Overall, great experience and we will be back next session!" - Asia

"Erin is so kind and thoughtful"

"We highly recommend Koa Swim School!! My son started when he was about 18 months and we did 10 sessions (Mon/Wed afternoons). Instructor Erin is so kind and thoughtful, knows how to comfort kids when they’re not having it" - Erin

"So grateful for her teaching them"

"Erin was so fun and engaging with both our kids, ages 6 and 2. My daughter learned her swim strokes and my son built up his confidence in the water and can float on his back! So grateful for her teaching them water safety and showing them the love of swimming. Mahalo!." - Iris

"I honestly couldn’t be happier."

"My daughter has been training during the summers at Koa Swim School with Erin, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. My daughter started as a total beginner and was nervous around water, but Erin changed everything for her. Erin is patient, warm, and really understands the kid as per their comfort level." - Rubina

"Made huge progress by the end"

"Can’t recommend Erin enough! Our daughter had a big fear of the ocean before our sessions, and made huge progress by the end. Erin takes a very calm no pressure approach to really allow the child to get comfortable and go at their own pace." - Martina

"By the end they were all swimming"

"Our 4 girls took swimming lessons while on vacation with Erin and she did wonders! 3 out of the 4 were not swimming and by the end of our lessons they were all swimming, under the water, and diving. Our 4th was taught many difficult strokes and by the end had them all down. She is for sure a winner and we could not have been any happier." - Maija

"We truly see progress each week"

"We love Koa Swim School! Erin is an exceptional teacher who makes the lessons fun and engaging. Our daughter went from a non-swimmer who was working to put her face into the water to a confident, independent swimmer. We truly see progress each week and it is one of our family's favorite weekly activities. Erin gently pushes each child to develop new skills and grow." - Leah

"Finding Erin all those years ago was blessing!"

"We love Erin. Erin is great to work with and she innately knows how to work with kids. She is patient and fun. Our daughter has taken lessons with Erin since she was a little over two years old. Now at 6, she is floating and swimming on her own. Finding Erin all those years ago was blessing! Highly recommended.." - Amber
