"I have two
boys, ages 5 and 7. I started each in swim lessons as babies
and was never very happy or impressed with the instruction given, or
lack there of, in various places around Santa
Cruz County. I found Seahorse Swim School searching online
and liked how she offered so many private lessons at Chaminade. My 7
year old knew how to swim already so I started my 5 year old with
her and I have seen absolutely amazing results. First and
formost, Tiffany has such a way with kids; she is clever, funny,
firm but loving, and really knows how to make learning fun. Second,
from the get go, she teaches the kids how to survive and to me, that
is the most important thing for a child to learn in the water.
I then started my 7 year old with her to improve his strokes
and become more efficient in the water. Both boys look forward to
going to lessons and even fight over who gets to go first! My
youngest has made so much progress in learning to swim and we look
forward to continuing our lessons with Tiffany. For what she has
taught my kids about water safety, I am eternally
grateful! "

"My daughter learned
more in her first ½ hour lesson with Tiffany than she did in
eight 1 hour lessons last summer at a different location.
It was a noticeable difference. Tiffany is so great with
the kids and really makes them feel comfortable and safe. I
can't believe my daughter put her face and head in the water during
the first lesson! After the first lesson she said she loved
her teacher and she can't wait to go back each time! Thanks
Tiffany!!"

"I wanted to take a
moment to let you know how incredibly pleased (and thouroughly
impressed) we are with Ryan's progress. The strides Ryan has made
since starting lessons with you have been huge! The confidence our
not-quite-3-year-old exhibits in the water now, compared to a mere 8
lessons ago is simply astonishing. Thank you for your patience, and
for your commitment to helping her learn an invaluable skill in a
safe and rewarding environment."
--Many Thanks, The
Finfer Family
"Albert dropped about 13 seconds and took 6th place at Junior
Olympics. He made a new team record. (His time
was 6:14.77) His swim looked very smooth and strong. He
said he paid attention to his entry, pull and turns as you taught in
lessons. Thank you so much for teaching him and giving him
encouragement. This result gave him a lot of motivation
for continuing swimming. We hope to see you near
future!" --Keiko MacPherson
"I’ve enjoyed watching my son progress from being
nervous and a little intimidated by the water to loving and looking
forward to your classes. The first time I saw him swimming with
confidence in the deep end, I felt proud and joyful (and
relieved)."

"I am so impressed with Tiffany's
love for her students. Our 6 yr. old grandson looks forward to every
lesson. You can see the trust he has in Tiffany. In just 6 lessons,
he has gone from being a non-swimmer to feeling comfortable in the
water. This is impressive. I can see in the next few weeks he'll be
well on his way for a life of swimming."--David Dunworth

“I found just what I
needed when I hired Tiffany as a swim coach. As an avid runner and
cyclist, I’m a pretty fit 40 year old guy. But though I grew up in a
backyard pool, I was at a loss when I decided to add swimming to my
weekly workouts. Tiffany corrected the fundamentals in my stroke,
taught me proper breathing technique and coached me in several
drills I can mix into my pool time to strengthen my form and
endurance. And all that while having FUN! Now building towards
competence for open water swimming or even a triathlon is a
reasonable and reachable goal. Thanks, Tiffany!”
--Arne Lang-Ree
"Tiffany always makes class an
adventure. She really personalizes the lesson for my child and makes
it a fun experience. Her sense of humor is the perfect touch, yet,
she is able to command the childs' attention for instruction."
--Angela Chesnut
"I am so
thrilled at how my daughters are making tremendous progress with
their swimming. Each lesson they are advancing with great leaps and
bounds and laughter. My daughter, Verity, is putting her eyes and
mouth under water after years of being deathly afraid...it brings
tears of happiness to my eyes every time I see her doing it in
class. Tiffany makes learning to swim so fun; she sings, plays
games, and truly loves the children into feeling safe and secure
with themselves in the water. --Dr. Krista Marie

"My son has
made tremendous progress in a short period of time. Tiffany is a
terrific swim teacher and has a great rapport with children. I have
observed many teachers over the years and Tiffany is the best I have
seen. The cost may seem high until you observe the quality of the
lessons and the progress made. It is definitely well worth it!
--Lynn Founds
"I watched my
son go from master dog paddler to swimmer in 30 minutes. Wow! He
loves the water; now he has some skills to go with the desire.
Thanks so much. --Clifford and
Bodhi
"When trying
to decide what to do about swim lessons, my husband said it best:
"let's give Tiffany a try. We'll know if she has 'The Magic'." We
did....and she does." --Anne Rowley
"Tiffany's
straightforward style works well for our family. Teaching science
and how to prevent injuries for swimmers is a real plus! Our
daughter always looks forward to her lesson." --Julie
Juell
"My daughter enjoys her lessons so
much! She has made great progress in the relatively short period of
time she has been in lessons--I'm impressed. We love the humor
Tiffany uses to keep it fun." --Jan Burroughs
"Tiffany is an
excellent teacher. Before taking lessons from Tiffany, I could not
even enter the swimming pool. Tiffany took the fear of water away
with her great instruction. I would recommend Tiffany to anyone from
beginner to advanced. She made a great difference to
me. --Lalitha (adult swimmer)
"Our kids love their
swimming lessons. Our kids jump out of the car and run to the
swimming pool! The structured, yet fun filled lessons have helped
our kids learn to swim. Thanks! " --The Woolover
Family
"I started my son at 6 months old in the
parent- tot class. The staff of Seahorse Swim
School has a wonderful way with children and made me feel very
comfortable knowing that she was Red Cross certified.
My
son is now three years old and we have taken private and group
lessons. I feel this is a great benefit to my son feeling
comfortable in the water and would recommend
Seahorse Swim school to all
parents."
