My son has been going to Brave Waves for almost a year now, and the progress he has made is incredible! He has learned so much and has gained so much confidence in the water. The instructors are patient, supportive, and truly skilled at helping kids feel comfortable and succeed. I highly recommend Brave Waves to anyone looking for a great swim school!

The best Swim school ! My daughter has been going here for about four months and we have seen soooo much improvement and growth. She screamed for about three weeks straight and hated going underwater.

The staff is amazing at making her feel comfortable and validating her feelings.
Andddd guess what …. no more crying !!!

Special shout out to “Mr Hunter” (as Alorah calls him) for always being silly and listening and talking with Alorah making her feel comfortable and excited to come back every week. You’re awesome!👏🏽

We appreciate everyone here for all that they have done,and for helping us with any of the little concerns we have. I don’t really remember everyone else’s names but the receptionist and the women that usually check us in are awesome. She loves you guys and she loves this place. I recommend anywho who is on the fence about trying ….to definitely sign their kid up and go !

Thank you Brave Waves for everything you guys have done so far !

My son has been taking swim lessons ar Brave Waves Swim School since September 2024 and is loving it. He has made such progress and is moving up to the next level. He can now swim confidently without a life jacket. It's such a well organized network. They have worked out so many little things that work so well. You self sign in with pads provided then grab the corresponding bracelet for your lesson, then you drop your child off ready for there swim to the staff at the pool who takes them to there instructor. They also give you a 5 minute warning lessons are up so you can meet your child in the showers. Such a great place and highly recommend.

We have been SO impressed with Brave Waves swim school! The teachers are so patient and engaging with the kids, the facilities are always clean, and we look forward to bringing our kids every week! We love getting the update on how they did in their class right after and how focussed the lessons are on safety as well as skill while also having fun!

This place has been perfect for our energetic 6 year old boy! On our first visit I was most impressed with the efficiency and organization of the classes. Booking/checking in is easy on a tablet and they have in and out doors for the changing area. There is always a member of staff by the pool entrance keeping children safe while they wait to start their lesson and then they are escorted to their teacher. Lessons are 2 kids to 1 adult a great ratio. The setting is always calm and controlled. And I love the parent viewing area in a separate room from the pool where you can see your child making progress. 25 minute sessions are great for focused swimming skills and believe me they work hard! In just a few short weeks my child has progressed to the next class level. Brave waves is an excellent facility for the area, well done!

I'm glad my wife and I came to know about Brave Waves Swim School last July 2024. My kids are enjoying their time during lessons and the indoor pool with well-maintained facility and temperature specially in winter which helps the continuous lessons. My kids are now moving up to the next level and I'm happy to let them know because they've been asking for lately how come they still have the same wrist band color since they started ^_^. Thank you for their instructor (sorry, I don't know her name) as well. It's nice for Brave Waves to keep a fixed instructor for each student to maintain the relationship with each other. Will definitely recommend to friends who are looking for a swimming school.

Brave Waves is phenomenal!! My daughter started going in August and the difference I see in not only her swimming but also her confidence in the water is huge. The swim instructors make sure she stays safe but is also having fun while learning and that is so wonderful to see. I can’t wait to see all the amazing life saving skills she learns in the water!

The absolute BEST swimming school! The Founders are passionately involved and so are their parents!

They are modern and leverage technology to streamline registration, check-in, classes management, and everything in between. Instructors have tablets to take notes and check in before and after each lessons.

Two lifeguards, supervisor, one instructor for two children, in addition to one of the founders constantly supervising the pool makes it safer than you were on land.

Semi-private lessons are very well structured and fill in any knowledge gaps they may existing prior. The instructors are kind and patient with the children. Parents get to sit back and watch through a large glass wall where it's quiet and dry.

The staff are absolutely accommodating such as scheduling multiple children in a tighter block of time as classes become available.

This place has several waiting lists which speaks to how popular they are.

This place isn't for chihuahua "service dog" Karen or i-know-it-all-about-swimming-school Paul (like seriously, do you even know what a swimming instructor make, what reasonable middle aged adult would be teaching and be able to sustain themselves at that. You don't need a 14-time Olympic medalist to teach your 5 year old and you certainly won't be paying the same rates).

Anyway, I digressed because this place is not only trying to build one of the best swimming schools in the region, but a true community rooted in human kindness.
