Great Place!

I enrolled my child into Sea Star's starfish class, meaning my child had a fear of the water. My son is 4 years old and had a huge fear of being in the swimming pool, and this summer my hope was to be able to go to the local community pool and know that my son was having a good time and most importantly safe! I enrolled my son in August and it is now November and he LOVES being in the water and going to swim class! I really get emotional seeing him run up to his coach and give her a hug, to see the joy and excitement in his eyes is amazing in just 4 months!!! I am a life long client now of Sea Star. The second you walk in the door you are greeted by the office and the colorful atmosphere is a perfect fit! Anyone that I talk to about classes I tell them to head to Sea Star. The YMCA is a joke, the ratio of student to teacher is HUGE and at Sea Star their classes max out at 4, if you are lucky you have an even smaller class for the same cost! I can't say enough about this swim school, they have been nothing but fantastic!!THANK YOU SEA STAR!!!

My 3-year-old and 8-year-old took 2 sessions of the intensive classes. My 8-year-old needed to refine her skills since it had been a while since she had taken lessons in Beaumont. My daughter was given a swim test and Miss Christy placed her in the right class. My daughter loved her teachers and was promoted twice. I signed both my daughters up for a 3rd session. My expectations for my 3-year-old was just getting used to the water for fun so she would love being in the water. My 3-year-old loves the water and we're having her 4th birthday party there. Sea Star is a good place for young children because the deepest part of the pool is only about 4 1/2 feet, and where the children sit on the steps (obediently waiting their turn for the complete individual attention of their instructor) is about 6 inches deep. The shallowness of the pool allows the instructors to walk down the lane with each child during their turn. I plan on being in Houston again next summer and enrolling my two youngest daughters at Sea Star. My options in Beaumont are extremely limited and unpredictable. Sea Star, if you would just build a facility in the Golden Triangle, (Beaumont / Port Arthur / Orange, Texas) our 20,000 public school kids could grow up learning to swim and our numbers of drownings could decrease. I highly recommend Sea Star -- thanks for running a world class operation!

My 3 and a half year old daughter has been taking lessons since she turned 2. We started in a mom & me class and once she was ready to swim on her own, she graduated to a "big girl" class. Her teacher, is very knowledgable and did a great job making her feel comfortable without me in the water. Jennifer is now swimming completely on her own and loves the water. She will be 4 by next summer and we are considering placing her on our neighborhood swim team. Our son will be 6 months old by March and we will be starting him there soon. We love Sea Star!

Sea Star is a wonderful place for a child to learn how to swim. As a former swim coach, I value the emphasis that Sea Star places on teaching the children water safety and awareness as well as basic swim skills. My son eagerly looks forward to swim class each week. He started Sea Star when he was 7 months old and in less than a year he has learned to kick underwater without support; blow bubbles; dive for rings; and float on his back. Not even 2 years old and he is a little fish and I credit it to the staff at Sea Star! The teachers are energetic, creative, and love being around kids and the facilities are spotless. I highly recommend Sea Star Swim School!

An excellent water-training school. My grandson began Sea Star at age 6 months and he has developed into a "water baby." He is now 20 months and has no fear of the water. Carver goes underwater with his eyes wide open and holding his breath. He scoops up the "ring" underwater and pops-up with a big grin on his face. When praised by the instructors, Carver claps his hands and smiles at everyone in the pool. Carver looks forward to playing the water games and loves interacting with the instructors, especially Heather. Carver comes from a family of accomplished swimmers, and we appreciate the water-training skills that Sea Star provides.

My children both started swimming at Sea Star over a year ago. We have been enrolled in lessons ever since. My daughter (5) has had 3 different teachers. She started with Kaitlyn who did a great job of teaching my daughter the basics of swimming - kicking, arms, breathing. Kaitlyn went away to college after the summer and we missed her very much, but my daughter was moved to Mr Ryan's class. It wasn't long until my daughter thought of Ryan as a big brother. She thinks he's very funny, and her father and I think he's a great swim teacher! He got her to learn how to swim freestyle very well in just a few months! Once this summer hit, we had to change to morning classes because my daughter enrolled in cooking camp every afternoon. She is now in Miss Erica's class and we absolutely LOVE her too! My son is very uncoordinated and has a hard time concentrating. We decided to put him in private lessons when groups weren't working out. It has made all the difference in the world! He can swim now!
