Read what others have to say about Mike's Minnows!

 We’re so grateful to Coach Mike and amazed by the progress our daughter made in just one week. He was able to push her in a way that challenged her but not too much that it increased her already heightened anxiety around swimming. She left being able to swim for the first and as Mike promised, left with a smile on her face.

I really cannot say enough good things about Coach John and Coach Mike. They are both so obviously experts at what they do and are so warm and compassionate with the little ones, which helps them build trust immediately.  We just finished a session for our 2 year old last week and were a bit skeptical going into it, but their approach just works. We had tried other swimming lessons a few times and they never went well. I felt like we were just wasting everyone’s time (and money), but this was different. It’s so effective in a short time. After 3 days, my son stopped crying completely and was all smiles and happily jumping into the water and swimming underwater a couple feet. The progress he made in just a few days was honestly unbelievable. I recommend John and Mike wholeheartedly! We are so grateful.

Coach Michael and John are really amazing at what they do.  We've spent many weeks going to traditional swimming classes with my daughter with  slow progress.  She now has so much more confidence in the water. We're glad we found you!

My 3 year old son enjoys the water however, prior to training with Coach John & Coach Mike, he could not go in the water without his floaters. The first day was challenging because my kiddo was exposed to all his fears (no floaters, water in his face, momma/dada not in the water with him). However, by the 5th day, you can see my kid’s confidence increased and how he truly enjoys the water WITHOUT FLOATERS. In fact, he enjoys going underwater  and his eyes light up when I tell him how proud I am of him. I truly recommend Coach John & Mike! We are truly thankful and we recommend to all parents - Especially the little ones.

Hi! I just wanted to share my experience with Coach John. My 6 year old was often hesitant to enter the water despite no bad experiences. I realized he really needed some help and my methods were not working. He was still using puddle jumper floaties! Im so thankful I found Coach John. In less than a week of short daily lessons my son went from being terrified of the water(yes- his hesitance was really a lot of fear that I hadn’t recognized) to wanting to dive down for toys, loving sticking his head under water, and starting some real swimming strokes. Honestly, it was extremely difficult to watch him work through his fear during the first lesson, but Coach John was very caring and kind while being firm that he deal with his fear of water in a healthy way. He recovered from that lesson more quickly than I did- lol! I never had to bribe or convince him, even for the second lesson. His self confidence soared as the week went on, and most importantly, he is well on his way to being safe around water and enjoying it for the rest of his life. I am so thankful!!
