Testimonials
Jacqui (child age 7)
My daughter Maeve received private swimming lessons by Lauren last summer. Lauren demonstrated a high level of maturity, patience and reliability. She created a calm and encouraging environment that helped build my daughters confidence in the water while also making her lessons enjoyable. She showed excellent communication skills, clearly explaining techniques in an age appropriate way and adapting her teaching style to suit my daughters learning pace. It was evident that she genuinely cared about her role and took pride in helping my child improve her swimming skills. Lauren was a pleasure to work with, and I would gladly hire her again in the future.

We started at Connolly Swim Academy in the summer of 2022. Just coming out of a major pandemic. Lauren provided us with lessons in a beautiful environment that made our toddler feel safe. She very quickly learned to trust Lauren as her lessons were consistent and very well organized and fun! Madison was motivated and looked forward to her classes each week. This summer will be out 4th year, we love Lauren. Connelly Swim Academy has made our girl confident around the water. I highly recommend this wonderful opportunity to have strong capable swimmers.
Lauren is a wonderful swimming instructor. She is professional, patient, and fantastic with kids. She is highly skilled in her technique and communicates clearly while demonstrating each skill. I highly recommend working with Lauren.
"My children really enjoy their swimming lessons with Lauren - a million times more than their prior ("boring") group lessons at local community centres. After a couple of summers benefiting from Lauren's guidance, their comfort, confidence and skills in the water have developed exponentially. Lauren has a lovely manner with her young students: calm, professional, attuned, respectful and always weaving in a little fun and play. Highly recommend!"

"To provide exceptional, relationship-based swim instruction catered to each swimmers needs. Where every child feels seen, supported and empowered to thrive in the water."
Stroke Improvement
Improving stroke technique is at the core of our lessons. We emphasize proper form and efficiency to help swimmers reach their full potential.
Water safety is a priority of ours. Though interactive learning we build confidence, awareness, and emergency response skills for all swimmers.
