Been coming here for 10 years… first baby classes, then beginner through advanced swim lessons. Took a break after Covid and now we come back for their summer swim clinics which I think are a great way to start out the summer and make sure the kids remember and practice their proper swim techniques. I’m amazed at how clean and well kept the place is even after 10 years… clearly very well loved and managed!

We started swim classes at Pengu for our 2-year-old a month ago. Our son was nervous and cried during his first class, but the instructors were incredibly patient and helped him calm down while still getting through the lesson. He’s quickly become excited to go to class and is far more comfortable in the water. He loves looking over at us and shouting with excitement whenever he masters a new skill. The staff is wonderful and does a fantastic job meeting kids at every skill and comfort level.

My son has been at Pengu for 1.5 years (from 15 months) and has grown really comfortable in the water. He is really making big improvements and the teachers have done a great job, especially coach Diana recently who pushes him but also is silly with them so they have fun! The exercises they do are helpful for both swimming and safety (like climbing out of the pool independently).

Pengu swim school has been great for my kids. My daughters (now 7&9) have been going the past year and have excelled significantly. We started with coach Bill who really helped them get over their initial fears, under water hesitance and gain major confidence in the water. After taking a winter break we are now training with coach Owen who has pushed them past their plateaus. They are now able to swim across the lane (with guidance of course), which was a major self esteem booster for them. Special shout out to coach Nick, coach Kendall and front of house operator Felicia. Nick is actually a supervisor but substitutes when needed. He’s helped my daughters with tips, support and is always looking out for everyone in general. Coach Kendall substituted for us in the past and really encouraged the girls to push their limits in a fun way, leaving a big impact on them. Felicia has always been real attentive with all of our needs, questions, membership info and overall experience. I can’t remember all the staff’s names but everyone deserves credit. Restrooms and changing rooms are well maintained. From pool maintenance, instructors, life guards, facilities management, back lawn care, they’ve got a great team. It feels like we’re part of a small community at Pengu and I’m happy to write a 5 star review for them.

We have had the absolute best experience with Pengu Swim School! The entire team is incredibly kind, helpful, and organized. What really stands out to me is their stellar customer service. Whenever I call to figure out our hectic schedule or make adjustments, they never rush me. They always take the time to listen, accommodate our family, and make the logistics completely stress-free. Our daughter loves her classes, and as a parent, I couldn't ask for a more supportive and well-run environment. Highly recommend Pengu to any family looking for fantastic swim instruction!
