About the provider

Susie Van Ekeren is the owner. The academy says it began in 2008, when Susie Van Ekeren started teaching swim lessons from her backyard. The source says Wisconsin Swim Academy uses a loving, gentle approach to teaching swimming lessons by first earning a child’s trust and then building confidence. It also says safety is a priority, and the academy aims to help children become smart, strong kiddos both in and outside of the water. The source says there are lifeguard-certified instructors, almost 180 years of combined swim experience, over 60 swim instructors, and that Wisconsin Swim Academy is a certified member of the USSSA.

All swim lessons are 3 students to 1 instructor or private upon request. Make-up classes are available if the family calls ahead; the source says there are 30 days to call or email to schedule a make-up swim lesson. Private lessons are only for students with special needs.

What families say

“We could not be more happy with the instructors here! Our 6 year old and our 4 year old both attend. Our daughter was so scared to put her head under the water, and after one session she is swimming under the water!! We would recommend them to anyone! Thanks and keep up the great work!” — Brandon B.

“There aren't enough positive words in the English language to accurately describe Wisconsin Swim Academy! All the employees are extremely professional and care about their students like they're their own kids. I recommend them to all of my family and friends! We couldn't be happier with our experience at Wisconsin Swim Academy.” — Jessica
