WHAT A VIBE! I DIDN'T REALIZE LEARNING TO SWIM WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN. THE INSTRUCTORS ARE A1! THEY WERE PATIENT, KIND, AND HAD SEVERAL TECHNIQUES. THEY EACH HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT THEY BRING TO THE CLASS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS, WHETHER YOU'RE YOUNG OR OLD. ALSO, IT'S AFFORDABLE.

SWIMBLK IS TRULY A HIDDEN GEM. I LEARNED ABOUT THE GROUP THROUGH A MUTUAL FRIEND AND THOUGHT I’M GOING. SWIM SUMMER IS COMING THROUGH! THE INSTRUCTOR’S WERE SO PATIENT, VENUE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL , MUSIC WAS PRESENT AND ENJOYED THE VIBE. I LOOK FORWARD TO NETWORKING AND REACHING GOALS WITH THIS GROUP. A MATURE, GROWN, MELANATED EXPERIENCE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE IN THE VALLEY!!
