Our 8 year old daughter has been swimming on a swim team since she was 6. We came to Janine seeking one-on-one swim instruction to help our daughter to improve her stroke technique and to also help her to learn how to swim different/longer races for USA Swim meets. Janine provided our daughter with verbal instruction and she also got in the water with her and showed her how to do what was being asked of her. We like how Janine teaches for our daughter was able to learn quickly and accurately in a very friendly environment. We strongly recommend Janine for swim lessons!

Our three daughters just finished a third summer of lessons with Janine. When we first began our middle daughter was terrified to put her face in the water. After a few lessons with Janine and her calm, positive way of helping kids feel motivated, she was putting her head in without a problem and it quickly became a non-issue after so much previous drama. Janine combines talent with experience and my kids have a lot of confidence in her and are willing to work and push themselves when she tells them they can do something. With the individual lessons, she can teach directly to the child’s needs and abilities. She has been so nice to work with and we appreciate her making learning to swim such a great experience for our girls.

I strongly recommend Coach Janine to any parent looking for an outstanding swim instructor! My daughter has developed as a beginning swimmer immensely from just a few lessons with Coach Janine. Coach Janine's positive and patient way of instructing children helps develop the child's passion to swim! My daughter looks forward to every lesson and then can't wait to come home and demonstrate to the family what she has learned. Also, as a parent, I greatly appreciate Coach Janine's very open line of communication. Coach Janine is a phenomenal swim coach!

MS. Janine came highly recommended. We began lessons for my 4 year old and 6 year old this year. In just 4 lessons, I saw how Ms. Janine is amazingly in touch with kids. Her methods to progress them through beginning safety and basic skills are so effective and fun! Our end goal is swim team preparation. Ms. Janine's displays gentle authority. With this, my girls trust her, respect her and listen to her. Last but not least, she provides feedback to the parents at the end of the lessons. We will never go anywhere else.We can't wait for our next lesson!

I began swimming with Coach Janine several years ago in the Masters Program. I feel very lucky to have found such a great swim coach. Not only is she an experienced swim coach, she was also a competitive swimmer so she knows the sport well. She always encourages us to improve on our stokes, turns, dives, or times and makes workout both fun & challenging. I look forward to going to swim workout. I have also seen Coach Janine work with kids as a swim coach and give swim lessons. I couldn't think of a better person to teach swim lessons to children. I am looking forward to having her teach my 1 y.o. grandson soon.

I have four children (4-8 yrs old). Coach Janine was able to get them all swimming. I had one child who didn't want to put her head under water, one who thought she could swim but couldn't, one who was nervous about swim lessons and meeting her instructor, and one who would just jump in without notice only to be unable to make it back to the wall.
Janine was patient, kind, gave clear directions, and worked with each one of my children at an individual level getting them all to swim safely. In the process I saw my children grow in delight in their own progress and gain self-confidence in themselves.
Coach Janine is great to work with and as a parent I am grateful that my children have a great swimming coach whom they love and respect.

My daughter was 4, almost 5, when we took lessons from Janine. She always enjoyed the attention and care that Janine took with her, she was always focused on my daughter completely during the lesson. I really appreciated the way that Janine worked with her to develop great water safety skills while also maintaining excellent stroke technique, since our goal was to make it onto the summer swim team. Janine is a great teacher, coach and overall nice person to work with, I highly recommend her.
