Testimonials:
"Amanda Kelly has been teaching my two three year old sons to swim, beginning in May 09 and after four months time, they have made remarkable progress. My wife and I have found Amanda to be a very patient and intuitive teacher, friendly and trustworthy. They all seem to be having a fantastic time together. She makes learning to swim very fun for the boys and really understands how to be with children, which along with her expertise in swimming instruction, is what we most value in her. I wholeheartedly recommend her."

"Most people can still remember how traumatic an experience learning to swim was. This is not what we wanted for our daughter, Jules. After trying two teachers that didn't respect Jules apprehension, we were worried we'd never find the type of swimming teacher we were hoping existed. And then we found Amanda. She's patient, calm, and reassuring. She talks to Jules like a normal person, no baby talk and no cajoling. Jules, at three years old, did learn to swim, but most importantly the process was a good one. We couldn't be happier."

"Amanda Kelly is a highly gifted, intuitive, extremely patient swim teacher, intelligently going at your child's natural pace in the water. In just one month's time, she turned our two-year-old daughter's resistance and concerns into confidence and enthusiasm. We can't wait to start up with Amanda again!"

"Amanda has incredible patience and determination. She is 100% focused and will look for and find any way she can to communicate with a child in order to achieve her goal. She will take the time to find out what interests each child and can therefore use play to lead them to venture into the unknown. I feel utterly confident in her ability to keep them safe and yet gently persuade them to reach out and attain new skills. She is unfalteringly positive even in the face of three year old stubbornness. I have tried other swimming coaches and group lessons and absolutely nothing can compare to what Amanda has given our boys."
