Coach Kayle is amazing!! I have a 7 year old that’s been with SLAC for 3 years now and my 4 year old is on her second year. Both of my girls learned with her and love her to pieces! Like most kids, my younger daughter screamed so much with her first lesson but Coach Kayle does an amazing job and keeping calm and getting the little ones to listen and follow instructions. By the end of the third day, my little screamer was loving it and wanting to go to swimming with Coach Kay every day. Coach Kayle is amazing at teaching them quickly what to do in a safe manner. I have never seen Coach Kayle yell at anyone. I suggest her to everyone that’s looking for swim lessons for their kids. Coach Kayle even personally works with my co-parenting schedule. She is a mother that understands family situations and always has my daughters’ best interest at heart. I’m forever grateful. Thank you so much for being so sweet to Emilia and Ellie. We love you so much!

I started my 3 year old daughter this past June in hopes of getting her into regular swim lesson with her older sister.

The first week was rough she screamed the first week, Coach Kaylee stayed firm, but calm with her reminding her of what they were learning. Second week on the first day she told Coach Kaylee I got this I can do it by myself. No more tears and started showing Coach Kaylee all that she had learned.

She has been doing great now in the regular group swim lessons.

Extremely grateful for all the hard-work the team puts in while coaching my twins. I am especially thankful for Kaylee and Magda who exhibit great patience and a positive attitude when dealing with toddlers and kids alike. We couldn’t wait for additional days to open up as we truly love the environment and leadership Kaylee displays while monitoring and helping out. We have recommended numerous parents and will continue to be an advocate for South Lake Aquatic for their professionalism and willingness to HELP.

This program is great! My 3 year old has been terrified of going under the water ever since she was a baby. Coach Kayle has been so patient and so helpful with helping my daughter become more confident in the water. Even after one week I have seen huge improvement that I didn't even think was possible. Ill be signing my youngest up for lessons as soon as she is old enough. Highly recommend! Thank you Coach Kayle!

Amazing program for any age kids. I have had all three of my boys start as early as 1 year of age and even though they were scared at first (cried bloody murder, and scream) Coach Kayle is a PRO at handling this behavior. She will speak firm to them so they are able to follow instructions but she will hug them and celebrate when they get things done.
I will make you aware you though that you need to let the staff teach your child. They will not learn if they are not force to do it over and over again. If your child is young and new to the program rest assure your child will stop crying eventually but it takes time. From my experience some cry less than others but I wouldn’t take my kids any other place. We love Coach Kayle and all her staff. You guys ROCK!!!

We have a 7 and a 4 year old who have taken swim lessons from Coach Kayle and her awesome instructors for years. Our boys were like most kids and were fearful of the water when they first started but Coach Kayle taught them how to respect the water, technique and to stay safe. She worked with them even when they spent the whole lesson screaming in her face. And as she and all other parents who went through this and stuck with it told me, the boys became comfortable in the water and love going to the pool, lake and their lessons. We are extremely grateful for Coach Kayle and her instructors who have remained consistent through the years which can only be attributed to the respect they also have for the program and Coach Kayle. It's a great program and I have recommended it to several friends.

I would be remiss without also mentioning that our boys love Coach Bella, Brinley, Magda and Rachel!. All the coaches seem amazing but our boys routinely work with Bella, Brinley, Magda and Rachel.

When ER started swim lessons with Coach Kay, she too, like all other kids, was very scared and was yelling and screaming. Coach Kay had to talk over her screaming in order for ER to hear instructions and words of encouragement. ER within a week stopped screaming and now swims under water. ER loves the water. It was the same for BR who also screamed. Coach Kay knows how to handle their fears and is successful in teaching frightened kids to swim. I’ve been watching her teach for 3 years. It doesn’t come easy because if it did you would not need to bring the kids to SLAC. If you don’t want coach to talk over your child, buy a 2 foot plastic pool and teach them yourself in it. Or let Coach Kay do her job and watch your kid overcome the fear of water.

After a huge drowning scare with my youngest child, we signed her and one of my other children up immediately with South Lake Aquatics. I cannot express enough gratitude for the patience, care, and thoroughness in ensuring my children were capable of surviving if they fell into a body of water. For parents who are scared watching their child and feel uneasy and upset seeing their child cry in the water and seeing them go under, please remember one thing -drowning is SILENT. Let South Lake Aquatics do their job and trust the instructors and the process. The crying subsides, the confidence in your child grows tremendously, and their ability to SURVIVE and become a strong swimmer is the goal. I am beyond thankful for finding Ms. Magda. She has been exceptional and is so good with my children. Because of her diligence and patience, my children can swim and I can sleep better at night knowing they won’t drown. Both my children hug her after every lesson. We will miss her as she starts her college journey!
