Both my kids have done Splash Fit over the years and it’s honestly been such a great experience for our family. My older kid even went on to join the swim team with Coach Miguel, which says a lot about how well they prepare kids and build their confidence in the water.
What really stands out to me is how much the coaches actually care about the kids. My youngest daughter has special needs and they’ve always treated her with so much respect and patience in the pool. They make sure she feels safe and included, which means everything to us.
Over time we’ve really felt like we became part of the Splash Fit family. I can’t recommend them enough.

My kids love this swimming class, they get personalized attention from the instructors while everything remains light hearted and enjoyable. My son has autism and i was concerned that he would always be afraid of getting into the water. But a couple sessions in the swimming class and he was getting into the water no problem he was even jumping in and making friends. i would definitely recommend this place if your looking for an activity for your kids!
Thanks Coaches!

Splash Fit has been an excellent fit for our family. Both of my daughters attend the program and both have come so far. The instructors are excellent and show great care and dedication to our daughters' progress. Lastly, I want to highlight the customer service. Any time we've had an issue they have responded quickly and been attentive to our needs. We highly recommend this program.

Our kids Madison and Morgon started at splashfit during its conception, around 2015 at the age of 9yrs old and 7yrs old and was also on the Stingrays swim team at Milbank. My partner and I wanted our kids to learn how to swim and know water safety, and it was coach Miguel who saw the potential and suggested they join the Stingrays swim team as well. At that time, coach Miguel would teach our kids swimming techniques during practice and also enhanced their swimming at Splashfit. This resulted in our kids progressing very quickly with techniques and skills. The extra support helped our son advanced to age group championships formerly known as Junior Olympics, and Zones. Our son Morgon grew to love the sport and wanted to further his swim career in high school and currently now in college. When he’s on school breaks, he teaches learn to swim at Splashfit. Splashfit has been beneficial for my kids swim journey. Miguel YOU ROCK!

Splash Fit is an amazing place to learn how to swim. Caring coaches, great ratios, and the best kept secret in where to learn to swim. Both my kids have learned to swim with Coach Miguel’s club at Milbank and we could not say enough wonderful things. We feel like family and the kids developed an important life skill. Thank you!

We absolutely love this swimming class program! My 13 started with them when he was 8 years old, and now he is now swimmer!!!! Now I came back with my 3 years old, and I’m confident that he will achieve the same results. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about each child’s progress.with only 5 weeks in the program My 3 years already gained confidence in the water so quickly, and every class is fun, safe, and well-organized. I highly recommend this program to any parent looking for quality swim instruction

Our experience with Splash Fit Swim Club has been nothing short of amazing. Watching both of our children grow in the water has been incredibly rewarding. Our son started in the Parent & Child Aquatics program and has worked his way up to Preschool Aquatics III, and the progress he’s made is impressive. Our daughter is currently in Parent & Child Aquatics II and is already becoming more comfortable and confident each week.
The instructors create a safe, fun, and structured environment that truly supports each child’s development. They are attentive, encouraging, and take the time to meet every swimmer where they are. Both of our kids enjoy their lessons and feel supported every step of the way.
It’s clear Splash Fit Swim Club is committed to quality instruction and water safety. We highly recommend this program to any family looking for a positive and effective swim experience for their children.
