Past Students who enrolled in Swim Lessons

"I took the swimming lesson in the Fall and really enjoyed it! The instructor helped me to feel confident being in the water. The last time I took a swimming class was more than 10 years ago, and I still couldn't really swim properly. The class only had 3 students, so I received a lot of attention and feedback on how to improve my swimming techniques. I am still working on freestyle and how to breathe properly, so I am going to register for the classes again in the spring quarter".

"I have been wanting to learn how to swim for a long time. Most places that I tried taking lessons cost a lot. After I moved to Davis, I found out about the swim lessons offered at the rec pool. I was super surprised knowing that the lessons were for free. I took my first set of lessons during summer and by the end of the quarter I was able to do freestyle and backstroke. Having a student instructor and the class having 'only students' made me feel less conscious about "being judged". The instructors are very knowledgeable, and they offer instructions based on each student's pace and style of learning. They adapted very quickly to each student's needs. I took the classes again in fall quarter and the two instructors I had, Maddie and Daniel, were excellent! They made my freestyle and backstroke techniques better. I always thought I was weak and lacked endurance. Daniel patiently helped me improve and boosted my confidence. I will definitely be taking more swim lessons!"
