In В В  YourВ В  Child’sВ В Best  Interest

Evey Smart Fish Teacher is put through our extensive training program where they are tested and re-tested until we are absolutely sure that they are not just capable of teaching the Smart Fish Method, but are a shining example of the Smart Fish Method and our goal:  to teach lessons focused on “Your Child’s Best Interest.”  Each Smart Fish Teacher is taught from the very beginning that every child has their own, individual strengths and ability levels.  It is within these strengths and ability levels that the Smart Fish Method is taught.  Through love and understanding, each teacher is trained to use what they’ve learned to develop safer, better swimmers.  Within this teaching structure, we have found that our swimmers not only learn to be safer and better swimmers, faster, but they also retain the knowledge and skills they’ve been taught longer.  But don’t just take our word for it.  See real testimonies from parents, teachers, and swim school owners.  Testimonials
