What families say

“We Love ESA! We have loved our experience with Evolution Swim! It has been so seamless enrolling, using the app to make changes, and having my son learn how to swim. The instructors are so gentle and kind yet knowledgeable. From the moment you walk in you feel so welcomed and apart of a family. Thank you for the great care with our son!” — Kelley H.

“Evolution is great! Clean facility with toasty warm water and warm changing rooms. Evolution is a great place to bring babies as young as 6 months old to get them comfy in the water. Love that babies under 9 months get free lessons ! Our absolute favorite coach is Coach Alex ! He is so engaging and tailors the class toward your kid’s needs. He makes swimming fun with singing songs and great toys!” — Cathy D.
