I just wanted to give you a word of encouragement for the work you do. Thank you for spending your time with Zaid, teaching him to swim. It is incredible to see a man who was terrified of water, one month ago, to someone who absolutely loves being at the pool now! He told me the other day “you know what babe, I actually LOVE swimming!” So thank you! You did the impossible and fulfilled a dream that he has for many years!!!!

We switched from the city lessons to semi-private lessons (2 kids) at Benchmark and our daughter has progressed so much faster through the levels. The instructors are great. My daughter went from hating lessons to loving them.

Top notch swim instruction. My children have fun and look forward to each class. They learn a ton and make great progress every session. Instructors are professional, encouraging, and engaging.

If you’re planning on signing up your kids for swimming lessons, don’t hesitate, and look no further. The only place to bring your kids is to Benchmark Swim Academy. I highly recommend! Benchmark Academy and the staff are well structured, patient, and caring. We have been with them for several years now and we can see the difference between how our child swims and verses others’ with competing swimming lessons!

I have been working with Desiree for four years now, and I could not ask for a better boss. Desiree has taught me how to be a great instructor, and I am always learning new, and different teaching techniques from her. Lessons are always perfectly scheduled with the swimmers, and instructors kept in mind. This allows allows for consistency, and developing familiarity with the swimmers, allowing me to see them progress through their levels. I would definitely recommend Benchmark Swim Academy.

I have been an instructor at Benchmark for 3 years; the experience has been wonderful. As a Boss, Desiree is kind and understanding while also giving valuable feedback so that we can continue to provide fun and safe lessons to our swimmers. She listens to our feedback and not hesitating to give time off when asked. She also tries to match swimmers and instructors, so that the instructor follows the swimmer through their levels; ensuring consistent teaching and allowing a rapport to be established. I love working for Benchmark Swim Academy, and would recommend for swimming and lifesaving lessons.
