My son took classes elsewhere since he was a baby. He started faking bathroom breaks so he didn't have to take class. At age six we moved to Bear Paddle.

The instructors here are so professional and seem to be incredibly well-trained. This has been a big change from our experience at Park District swim classes. While it is more expensive, you can absolutely see that you get what you pay for. My son is enjoying his experience much more now that we are at Bear Paddle! 

Business response:

Thank you for the review Shannon! We are thrilled to hear your son is enjoying Bear Paddle. Thank you for your business and we appreciate your comments!
