Testimonials

My kids have always hated swim classes, until we brought them to Wolfie's. They LOVE it! Not sure what they do that is so different, but I've never seen my kids so excited about swim class. We are very happy to have found it.

We can’t say enough good things about Wolfies and Mr. Juwan. His teaching really “clicked” with our daughter and helped her learn to love swim lessons and gain confidence in her ability to swim all while learning pool safety.

We started with Wolfies in the baby Mom and Me class and 4 years later we still love the skills be taught and reinforced. These skills have allowed him to swim competitively and we have Wolfies to thank! We have loved all our instructors at each level. We love Wolfies!

We have been enrolled in the Mom and Me Bigs class for one month and are loving it! Mr. Chris is our instructor, and he is great with the little ones. We have greatly enjoyed our time at Wolfies!

We decided to enroll Baby V in swimming classes because we wanted to give her the survival skills any kid should have when it comes to water and pool. However, we also wanted her to be around people and kids. Her first month was hard. She was soon known as the crying, but she soon felt happy in the water and with her instructors. She now smiles and has so much fun. She has learned how to climb the wall and that it's just one of many other things I'm sure she will learn with Wolfies. I am really happy for finding Wolfies and having Baby V with you. We love Miss Victoria. She is an amazing teacher!

Mr. Ju'Wan took over my daughter's swim lessons a few months ago. He has done a fantastic job getting her ready for summer and her confidence in the pool has soared! She loves swimming weekly with Mr. Ju'wan and looks forward to each session.

Miss B was a wonderful teacher. She is thorough and attentive and helpful with many different types of children. The Wolfies program overall is excellent. The staff constantly communicates well with and gives specific feedback so you know how your child is doing. I've been at several schools with my four children and I really think Wolfies does an amazing job.

The instructors are just wonderful. The group classes are so much fun. I highly recommend it for ages 2 - 7.

Our two sons have taken semi-private swim lessons from Miss Amy over the past two summers, starting at ages three and seven, both at the Rec Center and at our home. Amy is truly gifted at teaching children to swim. Our boys respect her very much and have become much more confident in the water since starting lessons with her. They both love to swim now, and it is undoubtedly because of Amy's expert coaching. We can't wait to start lessons again this summer!

My daughter started swim classes at Wolfies around 22 months. She continued for about 3 and a half months. We started with the mommy and me classes then moved up to the group toddler classes. I could see noticeable improvement in her comfort and skill level in the water, and she adored her instructors, especially Mr. Zach! They were all very patient and encouraging with her. Administrative staff was friendly and great with communication (phone and email). I would highly recommend this program and plan to enroll her again next summer!

Wolfies Swim School is an outstanding program with patient, caring, and qualified instructors. Our daughter spent the most time with Zach and Lyle, who were both outstanding. We were delighted to see how much strength and confidence our daughter gained from learning to swim. We would highly recommend Wolfies to any family looking for a fun, safe environment for learning swimming.

My son and daughter have taken from Wolfies for the last 8 years, moving from the older one to the younger one. Both have beautiful strokes now and love swimming. My 8 yr old now loves swimming so much she wants to do a team year round. Ms Brenell has been an outstanding teacher, so encouraging and helpful. She helped her to meet her time requirement to be on a team and has really helped her to become more proficient in her swimming while keeping her loving it. Thank you!

My daughter started swimming at Wolfies 2 years ago and is doing amazing in our pool at home. The teachers have been encouraging and consistent and have taught my daughter to be a confidant safe swimmer.

My 8 year old son was literally TERRIFIED of the water only two months ago. I signed him up for twice weekly private at home swim lessons with Ms. Lauren. We are literally stunned at the difference. Luca went from being afraid of the water to swimming like a fish. He proudly showed me how he can do a double flip under water last weekend! Not only has he learned how to swim but he loves it so much that he wants to spend all day in the pool!! With both parents working, having the luxury of having at home private lessons was amazing. I can not believe how much of a difference two months can make. Not only is Luca now physically safe around water, but his self confidence has increased as well. This past weekend he was able to participate in his first ever "pool party" and had a blast!!! We will definitely be using Ms Lauren and Wolfies next summer!

Amy was my daughters swim teacher last summer. She was patient and loving during every class. Amy had the right mix of pushing her to her potential and hugging when she felt scared. Our overall experience was really wonderful. My daughter learned so much and her confidence grew a tremendous amount. We will definitely continue our lessons with Amy next summer!

My kids started Wolfies about 3 years ago and I have seen great improvement in their abilities to swim! They loved their instructors Ms Becca and Ms Tara. They were both really sweet and gave my kids the confidence they needed to do many things in the water! Cindy has also been amazing !!!!!! AnytimeI had a conflict w a day or time she would take the time and help me figure out something that would work for us. We love Wolfies and would def recommend this place to anyone.

Amy was my children's swim teacher last summer. Amy was amazing at knowing how and when to push my kids to their fullest potential. She was loving and patient with my son who had some fear at the beginning of the summer. And she was so good at realizing my daughters true swimming potential and pushing her to be the best swimmer she can be! We love Amy and can't wait for lessons to start again this summer!!!!!!!

Cindy has been working with my 3 1/2 yo daughter for almost a year now. Our daughter started off not wanting to put her face in the water and has made amazing progress. She now jumps into the pool, goes underwater, and swims back to the side by herself (among other great skills). My 2 yo son has joined her for lessons and he is getting more comfortable in the water each time. I think Cindy has a great balance of being calm and patient with children, while at the same time challenging them to reach the next level. What speaks most to me is that my kids are both happy to go in the water and proud of what they are accomplishing. Sticking with lessons year round has been one of the best decisions that I have made.

Cindy Wolf provided swimming instruction this past summer for my 14-year-old son and 6-year-old stepson. Both boys enjoyed her instruction and I saw a marked improvement in their swimming skills. My 14-year-old said, ‘She’s a good motivator and she knows what she’s doing.’ I would highly recommend Cindy to anyone needing a great swim instructor.
