My daughter, Samantha, began lessons at 11 months old. This was her first formal experience with lessons of any sort.
Michelle did a fabulous job at training her in the water. She began Samantha, at a pace that was appropriate for her. The lessons were professional, safety minded, relevant and always exciting to watch. Michelle taught her how to put her face in the water and move forward in the water in the first week! By the fourth week, Samantha was rolling over and floating in the water unassisted. In the sixth week, Samantha passed the skills test fully clothed! I trusted Michelle's guidance throughout the complete training experience. I have recommended Michelle to all of my friends and colleagues who have children in the applicable age group and have continued Samantha in maintenance swim lessons.

My children-ages 4 and 2- have been participating in Michelle Alpern's K.I.S.S. swim program. I have been very satisfied with their progress under Michelle's direction. Both have passed their fully clothed float test and are making progress with their swimming skills. They are also having fun! Michelle is fun and patient with them, while keeping them focused on their swimming skills and being firm when she needs to be. Michelle is an excellent instructor and I recommend her to my friends who are looking for a safety swim course.

My daughter is 3.5 years old. I wanted her to take this class so she would be safe in the pool. Se loves the class and she especially loves Michelle. In her first two weeks, she was comfortable in the water and could float on her back. The class made her very confident in the water and she learned how to be safe in the water. This gives me peace of mind when she is in the pool. It makes our experience in the pool a lot more enjoyable and stress free. She also loves all the compliments she gets on how well she swims for her age, and loves to show off for other kids. I recommend this class to all the parents I know.

It's been a great experience to see my daughter's love of swimming increase with each lesson. Although Ayana's strong willed behavior can be a challenge, Michelle has always been extremely patient and caring while staying on task. There's no one else that I would rather instill my trust in teaching my daughter how to swim other than "Miss Michelle!"

As the Mom of two very active boys, I felt that instilling swimming skills, as well as a healthy respect for the water, was essential. I was taught swimming survival skills as an infant and have reaped the benefits my whole life and hoped be able to give my children the same experience. Michelle has amazing patience with even my strong-willed twins. She has gently, yet firmly, coaxed wonderful skills from my boys in a short period of time. Both boys love her and really work very hard under her guidance!

I would like to thank Michelle Alpern for the opportunity provided to my three boys on her exceptional K.I.S.S. swimming instructions. I am very pleased with the way my children adapted to her and her swimming techniques. My sons range in ages 2-8 years old. My two year old had no previous swim experience; my 8 year old was going on 5 yrs. of swim classes and still unable to grasp how to swim. Michelle's swimming techniques were exactly what I was looking for in a swim instructor. My three boys are now successfully able to swim on their own and are aware of what they need to do in the water in order to save their lives. I highly recommend Michelle Alpern to anyone who is looking for educational, fun, and successful swim lessons.
Sincerely,
Ilana
