Carol Macpherson Aquatic Center

I’ve seen a lot of swim instructors in my day (over six with my four kids) and Carol is hands-​down the best. As an example, she worked 1−0n-1 with my daughter this summer (age 3) who is generally frightened of all strangers (she did not know carol or her staff before this), doesn’t like new situations, and didn’t want to leave the steps of the pool. After 5 weeks of lessons, Carol had her swimming by herself from the shallow end to the depend, and my daughter was loving it. In our house, that is practically a miracle with this particular swimmer girl.
Carol has a unique ability to earn trust with children no matter their age or swimming experience. She sets the bar high for them (meaning they will actually learn to swim… not just dink around in the pool) but she insists on earning their trust first as a key part to their swimming.
Carol and her staff have taught my four children (ages 1 – 8) how to swim. Carol’s prices are reasonable and beat out just about every other program I have seen (you have to break the pricing down by lesson or 30 minute segment to really get an idea of what you are looking at – she was half the price of the community pool lessons in Menlo Park.)
Bottom line: I get my moneys worth (i.e., the kids can actually swim) and my kids all love swimming. What more can you ask for?

It’s okeyyy.
I’ve seen better,
Really cheesy talk with the staff…
