Guppies Testimonials

  • "My older son has been swimming with the Playa Vista swim club Dolphins group for almost two years now. The coaches are very knowledgeable and are able to facilitate the class in a fun but safe way. Over the last two years, my son’s technique and speed has tremendously improved. Although my son was the youngest in the class, it was not an issue at all because he was surrounded by such a great group of kids. It was nice to see all the kids support their teammates at the swim competitions. We have been happy with our overall experience and will be signing up my younger son in the Guppies class soon!"

  • “We started group lesson few weeks ago and we can see the dramatic change on her posture and attitude. Swimming used to be just playing time but now she wants to learn more and get better at swimming. Group lesson gave her competitive environment to really focus and work hard. We are very happy with the instructor as well."
