I’ve received all my training through Gigglin Marlins. I feel they were very thorough and knowledgeable and give me all the tool I needed to be a safe and confident diver. I have also gone on many trips with them and cannot say enough good things about how well organized they are. They have always gone the extra mile to ensure everyone is taken care of. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The best kid swimming classes we experienced. My five year old now does amazing freestyle, backstroke, learning butterfly, just dove down 15 feet (with a help of an extendable pole for now). Miss Ursula is just an amazing coach, very firm, assuring, knowledgeable, loves what she does and kids can feel it.

I took the lifeguard certification at Gigglin' Marlin for Red Cross and I had no IDEA what I was getting myself into. The shop staff was nice and respectable and they loved their jobs. The instructor on the other hand, was unfocused, unwilling to get into the water, belittled us every chance he got, and learned nothing from him but to relax. There were moments where he left a class of nine students to teach a overlapping swim lesson... for an hour. This is just one instance where he left us unattended. The only reason we passed was a student was getting her certification and she was knowledgeable in the water. I wish no one this abominable experience, unless they train some new instructors and made sure that they did their job well instead of taking a back seat.

Forgot to leave a review. Years ago, I did scuba licensing here. I paid for an extra certification but never got a refund after I booked an Airbnb, spent my time and money going to lake Travis in Austin, lost an entire weekend, confirmed beforehand the lesson would proceed and nobody showed. Instead of getting an apology and all expenses paid, I spent weeks going back and forth with the owner and don’t think I ever got my certification fee back. And the instructor was a creeper who was so obviously rude/disrespectful to me other students I didn’t know who saw it happen for days kept saying things like “I wish he wasn’t such a jerk to her.” I still remember the bad experience.

Our son began swim classes at Gigglin' Marlin Dive & Swim in August and it’s been an incredible experience. He has learned to truly love swimming and is now confident in the water. Each time he achieved a new milestone, you could see him beaming with pride. Special thanks to his fantastic teacher, Coach Will, who helped him progress more in one month than he did in all his previous swim lessons. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Gigglin' Marlin for anyone looking for caring and effective swim instruction!
