My son began swimming with Coach Mike when he was 4.5 years old. When he first began, he was petrified to put his face under the water, let alone swim. We tried other swim schools, but it was a total waste of time and money. The stress wasn't worth it! Over the past 2.5 years with Coach Mike, my son has greatly advanced in swimming, physical confidence, and overall endurance. Mike has a methodical way of introducing new techniques, gradually advancing skills, while patiently meeting your child where they are. He is empathetic, in recognizing possible swimming anxiety, while also firm enough to challenge them to face their fears. Nothing beats the confidence in taking my child to the pool, in knowing they cannot only confidently swim, they can enjoyably play. Clearly, I recommend these swim instructors to all!

​

Mike has instilled a sense of confidence and joy in our kids when they swim. His patience, positive attitude, and skill in communicating the techniques has led our daughters (ages 5 & 3) to excel in swimming! 

Coach Jed and Coach Mike are truly exceptional. Their dedication and expertise have transformed my children's swimming abilities into a lifelong skill they'll forever cherish. I never imagined my kids would excel in swimming the way they do now, and it's all thanks to the incredible guidance and support provided by these two phenomenal coaches. Their passion for teaching shines through in every lesson, and I couldn't be prouder of my children's progress. Together, they make an unbeatable team, and I'm endlessly grateful for the positive impact they've had on my family's life.

Ashton has grown so much under your guidance Mike, and I'm looking forward to watching his progress with you 

“Jed has taught my three year-old daughter both safety and skill in the water. She is a naturally cautious kid and he has instilled her with confidence and love of swimming. She practices her strokes in the bath tub in anticipation of her next lesson. Jed is a warm and fun mentor, who can be firm without being unkind. We are so lucky to have found him and will be with him for years to come! I plan to start my son in lessons with Jed when he is old enough.”

My 4-year-old daughter has been swimming consistently with Jed for over a year. The progress she has made is incredible. She went from crying and not wanting to get into a pool to swimming actual strokes now. It’s amazing. I appreciate Jed’s approach. He is firm yet kind and encouraging. We are so pleased and highly recommend him.

Jed isnthe best. The way he can relate to the kids and adjust to their learning level is why our kids won't go to anyone else!"

We absolutely love coach Jed! After doing lessons at Goldfish Swim School and not seeing the progress we hoped for, we signed up for lessons with Jed in Feb 2024. My 4 year old (who was terrified to put his face under water) showed more progress in the first lesson with Jed than our entire ‘season’ with Goldfish! My husband and I left absolutely stunned and amazed. Jed has a unique skillset in that he is SO comforting and encouraging to the kids while also safely advancing their swim abilities. I have never seen anything like it. My son, who still cringes when I splash water in his face in the tub, somehow looks forward to swim EVERY week! Although you can’t place a value on such an important life skill, when you’re spending your money you want to see progress, and that’s exactly what we’ve gotten with Jed. The progress we’ve seen is MORE than what a parent could hope for and our child isn’t petrified or scarred from the experience. Our daughter is 17 months, but as soon as she’s old enough we will be enrolling her too! Cannot recommend J&M Aquatics enough!

I wanted to thank you and Mike for how you treated Eli on Saturday. He was petrified to come, but you so were so welcoming, and he ended up loving it.

“I love Jed as a coach because I can tell I am getting better when I follow his advice and he doesn’t let me get away with doing things the wrong way, and he’s always nice.”

I can’t say enough about how phenomenal Jed is as a swim coach! My two kids have been swimming with him since they were 4 and 5 years old. He has not only made them excellent swimmers, he has also built their endurance and confidence in themselves and their ability to push to be better during each practice. Jed finds the perfect balance between correcting their strokes and still making them feel like they are doing a great job. He has been extremely patient with my youngest (now 5yrs old) who, at times, needs a little extra attention to stay focused. My kids have so much fun swimming with Jed! I couldn’t ask for a better coach

Jed's dedication goes beyond the poolside. He actively keeps up with how the kids perform in swim

meets, always checking in and showing genuine interest in their progress. Whether it's asking

about their races or offering words of encouragement, Jed's support extends far beyond the

confines of the pool. Moreover, Jed's impact extends beyond our family. Every person we've

referred to him has stayed with him and sings his praises. It's a testament to his skill, dedication,

and the genuine connections he forms with his students.

In short, Jed is more than just a swim instructor; he's a mentor, a motivator, and a friend. We're

endlessly grateful for the positive impact he's had on our kids' lives, both in and out of the pool. If

you're looking for someone who will not only teach your children to swim but also inspire and

support them along the way, Jed is your guy. We can't recommend him highly enough!

We can't say enough good things about Jed, our incredible swim instructor who has truly become
an irreplaceable part of our family over the past few years. Jed stepped into our lives when our
kids were just starting out, and his impact has been nothing short of remarkable. From the get-go,
Jed's passion for swimming was evident. Not only did he teach our kids the fundamentals of
swimming, but he also instilled in them a love for the sport. He encouraged them to join a swim
club, which has since become a central part of our lives. It's amazing to see how much they've
grown, both in skill and confidence, under Jed's guidance.
What sets Jed apart is his perfect balance of being firm when needed and celebrating every small
victory. He knows when to push the kids to do their best, but he also knows when to offer praise
and encouragement. He's not just a coach; he's a friend who genuinely cares about their progress
and well-being. In just half an hour, Jed manages to pack in a ton of learning and correction of
techniques. He's incredibly efficient and effective, making every session count. Despite the kids
being busy with various activities, swimming with Jed is the one thing they refuse to give up. They
genuinely enjoy their time with him, even when he challenges them to push their limits!

There isn’t a better coach around than Jed. He knows exactly what to do and say to help swimmers get to the next level. His knowledge and love for the sport and his swimmers is unmatched. 

We see the difference too 🤍 I shared your comments with Emma and she’s asking if you have any openings time tomorrow for another lesson before her meet next weekend

Jed has such a gift! My boys (ages 4 and 5) started back in February with zero knowledge of swimming. Both were timid (and typically shy kids), and I was instantly impressed with how quickly they warmed up to Jed. They were under the water within the first 2 minute of class and kicking to the ledge by the end of the session. Jed's approach is warm yet stern, producing tremendous results in such a short period of time. My boys absolutely adore him and look forward to each session. I plan on enrolling my 14 month old in the fall/winter! I highly recommend Jed and J&M Aquatics!
