Rave Reviews
Our son has been taking private swim lessons at Bridgewater Swim Academy for over two years, and we couldn’t be happier. The entire staff is wonderful and incredibly easy to work with when it comes to scheduling. We’ve had multiple instructors, and every one of them has been excellent—patient, encouraging, and fantastic with our son. He started with some fear of the water, but thanks to the caring instructors, he now loves swimming and has become a confident, strong swimmer before even turning five. We highly recommend Bridgewater Swim Academy!
I want to add how amazing Arthi was for Caroline. She was PERFECT! If Caroline wasn’t starting up swimming 4 days a week with her team, we would definitely continue with her. Thank you so much for another great experience! We will be reaching out in the future I am sure💙
Our children have been taking swim lessons with Bridgewater Swim Academy since 2021. With an emphasis on teaching water safety with technical swim skills, each of our children have become confident swimmers, from our oldest who now enjoys more technical lessons geared toward competitive swim to our youngest (a toddler) who is now capable of swimming to the side of the pool and climbing out without assistance. With the swim lessons from Holly and her team, we feel confident that are children can swim and play safely in and around water, whether it be at a pool or lake, letting us as parents also enjoy our time in these situations instead of being stressed. I’ve been so grateful for the admin team who have worked with our family throughout the years to coordinate multiple lesson times, reschedule sick days and emergencies with kindness and understanding. Thank you BSA, your team has been integral in our family’s water safety/safe swim journey!
Best swim school in town! All of the staff and instructors are always helpful and kind. My daughter started swim years ago and another place in town was discouraging, so we stayed away until we found Bridgewater. Arthi is so incredibly patient and wonderful. 1000/10 recommend this school. Private lessons are so much better for the kiddos than groups with 5-10 minutes in a 30 minute lesson. I immediately saw improvements at the pool and with her confidence.
We have been swimming at Bridgewater since my son was 6 months old. This has been the greatest activity not only for safety but for joy watching our child flourish. Holly and all of the other coaches are wonderful people. Our son loves being in the pool and seeing his friends every week. I would encourage anyone at any age to come swim in the nice warm enclosed pool that Bridgewater provides.
We have tried several swim schools in town, and this one is hands down the best! The one-on-one attention our son receives has made a world of difference in his confidence and skill level. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested in his progress. He has developed stronger, more refined swimming skills here than anywhere else. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to any parent.
My son had the good fortune of working with Holly on his stroke technique starting at a very early age. Not only is Holly technically very capable, she is warm and patient with the children and finds ways to adapt to the unique personalities of each child. Holly helped my son to take his swimming to the next level and to prepare him for a competitive team. Not only did she help him hone his skills but she took a genuine interest in his development and success.
Holly is passionate about teaching the sport and her passion infused the technique and the attitudes of all the instructors. We continue to be highly impressed with the skills our son has learned. Additionally, many years ago, Holly played a key role in teaching two of our older children to swim- again in a fun, efficient and effective manner. Within four lessons our daughter went from doggy paddling to being completely water safe. My children loved their lessons with Holly!
We feel so blessed that our paths crossed with Holly Sprague. She is an incredible swim coach that provided our kids with wonderful individualized swim lessons this summer. Each swim meet our son swam faster and more precise thanks to Holly’s individualized instruction and techniques. Holly is positive, enthusiastic, patient, professional and motivating to kids. She is passionate about what she does. Holly provides a happy, supportive and fun learning environment!
I would like to recognize BSA for their incredible technique and ability to instruct children to swim. Our now three-year-old son started late summer of 2018 with BSA and continues weekly lessons practicing skills and continuously building on the previous lesson. We have the confidence and trust in Bridgewater’s owner, Holly Sprague with her approach to early childhood learning and the gift with small children in the water.Without a doubt, we will have a water safe and swimming child by 2019. This is a lifetime investment I recommend to any Reno family lucky enough to schedule
Linda has been coaching my son since he was 2.5 years old. He is doing so well and anticipates every lesson. Linda is an amazing coach, she knows how to set the rules with small kids and still makes sure they have fun!! When I see her and my son together it sometimes reminds me of his grandmother at play time. PRICELESS!
Linda has been the most incredible teacher, not only of swim but life. Her experience is unbeatable, her love for every child shines, plus her intuition helps her be the best teacher. We love Linda.
Linda is amazing! Tyler loves playing with her in the water. He has become very comfortable and trusts her to teach him. He wouldn’t be as happy in the pool without her teachings.
THANK YOU!!!! We had the BEST time today for Shay’s first swim lesson. Mackenzie is incredible.
Very grateful we found your swim school!!
Shay is nonstop talking about her time today.
