Real Stories Real Smiles

“We started taking our daughter her two weeks ago. Two lessons in and she is doing so much better. The teachers are awesome and it's a nice place to watch the kids swim. There are lots of change room stalls and a nice shower area with warm water.”

“Brand new place for children to learn to swim. Friendly staff, calm, welcoming environment, pleasant atmosphere. My grandson had an awesome first time experience with swimming. He is excited to go back next week.”

“Within the first class my toddler went from being nervous in water to wanting to go back again the next day for more swimming!”

“We are thrilled with our choice! My kids love this place. This is the premier private swim school for kids in Kitchener. The facilities are modern, immaculate, and beautifully designed, creating a wonderful learning environment. More importantly, the instructors are absolutely incredible. They are patient, highly skilled, and genuinely fantastic with children, making every lesson effective and fun. If you want results and a great experience, this is the place to be!”

“My daughter really loves coming every week the staff are so welcoming and kind and the instructors are amazing. She is learning so much. A calm, clean and friendly environment.”

“I am so happy to have found this place! My 7-year-old has been in swimming lessons his whole life and has never passed a session. Traditional recreation centre lessons were not effective for him as he can be apprehensive to get in cold water and get his head/face wet and so he would often just sit beside the pool for a lot of the lesson and watch the other children learn to swim, which was frustrating. At Puddles, the instructors gently encourage him to get in the (warm!) water and slowly progress throughout the lesson. The facilities are beautiful and the staff are kind. While it is more expensive than traditional lessons through the city recreation programs, it is well worth the extra money for those who weren't seeing progress in those city recreation lessons.”
