You Can Learn To Swim in Silver Spring was great. Wish I could give more stars. I planned a daddy daughter cruise and wanted to make the most of our trip. Ahuva, Ben and Tanya went above and beyond. My daughter went from not wanting to swim without her life jacket to jumping in the pool and swimming confidently on her own with a huge smile on her face. Will definitely recommend! Thank you!

We had an excellent experience, and I highly recommend this program. My son has lagged in swimming skills and we needed a focused but friendly swim instructor. Ben was an exceptional teacher. In just one week, my son became measurably more capable. He had never swum in the deep end, and it was amazing to watch him do so with newfound confidence and skill. Additionally, the backyard pool environment is a pleasure, both for the student and for the parent!

All four instructors we worked with were great--Ahuvah, Ben, Tanya, and Paula. My son loved his lessons with all of them. I was blown away by how much he learned in a single summer. In two and a half months, he went from afraid of the water to joyfully and safely diving into the deep end. It was a pleasure to watch. He is looking forward to doing more swim lessons next year. Highly recommended!!

Ahuvah is the best swim teacher we have had and is just so good at what she does. Our child has special needs and Ahuvah is very much attuned to teaching children with these needs. Our child has made great progress learning to swim with Ahuvah and loves her swim lessons. Adult, professional, and highly capable.

Before we started with You Can Learn to Swim my 5 yr old had never had a swim lesson and was nervous about putting her head under water. After a few weeks of bi-weekly lessons she was swimming under water with confidence. Highly recommend!

Ahuvah is so great with my daughter who is on the autism spectrum. She's such a great instructor. My daughter is improving and is always so excited for swim lessons. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would.
