“We’ve been part of the Miss Yvonne Swimming family for nearly 10 years, and our family has had such a wonderful experience with the program. My stepdaughter first attended Miss Yvonne’s about a decade ago, and this year we introduced our four-year-old daughter to the program. Next summer, we’ll be introducing our three-year-old as well!
Our four-year-old attended swim camp for four weeks this summer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Watching her confidence grow in the water and seeing how much she progressed over the course of the camp was incredible. She became so much more comfortable and independent in the water, while still having an absolute blast.
The coaches are fantastic, and you can truly tell how much they care about the children. We also really appreciate the communication and updates throughout the program! It’s wonderful to be able to see their progress and know how they’re doing.
We couldn’t recommend Miss Yvonne Swimming highly enough. It’s a fun, caring and incredibly effective program. Having a child become so confident and independent in the water after just three weeks is priceless — but even more importantly, knowing that she has developed real water skills and confidence gives us an incredible sense of peace of mind as parents. That feeling is truly invaluable.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Ms. Yvonne’s Summer Camp! Before starting, our 5-year-old was afraid to put his head underwater and always needed floaties. After just one day, he came home thrilled to share that he had put his head underwater and loved swimming. By day 3, he was jumping into the water, and by day 5, he no longer needed floaties!
That weekend, he proudly showed off his pencil jumps and new swimming skills at the pool. He loved the coaches and program so much that he begged to come back for a second week, where he continued refining his technique and advanced to the next group.
We had tried private lessons elsewhere and never saw this level of progress. Ms. Yvonne’s effective method, encouraging coaches, and well-structured program made an incredible difference. We completely trust her approach and are continuing with fall classes. Highly recommend!”

“Ms. Yvonne’s Swim School has been the absolute highlight of our summer! We could not be happier with the camp experience and the incredible progress both of our kids made in such a short time.
Our daughter attended the camp for three weeks, and by the end, she went from relying on floaties to swimming end-to-end in the pool completely on her own. Beyond the rapid skill development, the staff created an environment where the kids were genuinely excited to head out the door every single morning. The counselors are fantastic—our son would literally run up to Coach Cal first thing every day!
Communication from the school was exceptional. Ms. Yvonne kept parents updated constantly, sharing videos and photos of the kids' progress throughout the weeks so we could watch their confidence grow in real time. As a bonus for parents, the kids came home wonderfully exhausted every afternoon and slept soundly through the night all summer long.
If you are looking for a fun, safe, and supportive environment for your children to learn how to swim and enjoy their summer, I cannot recommend Ms. Yvonne's Swim School highly enough.”

“We love Miss Yvonne’s Swim school! Our little one has been in this program since he was 10 months old - from watching him get used to being in the water and being scared, to seeing how confident and excited he is in the pool now as a toddler, we are so thankful for Miss Yvonne’s program and all the teachers! Any time someone sees our little one in the water, they always make a comment on how he is such a little fishy, and we know that’s because of all the time and dedication from Miss Yvonne.”

“My 4.5 yo and 3 yo have had nothing but a great experience at Miss Yvonne swim school. Honestly I don’t get all the bad reviews? Her policy is clear - parents aren’t allowed in the pool area. Even if your child is crying! My kids used to cry a lot and the instructors there handle it extremely well. You can always watch through the zoom link. I’ve never had a problem with it working, and if it’s not positioned to see your child just ask and they’ll fix it - no problem. Miss Yvonne was my sons’s 3rd swim school in the area, he was so slow to learn to swim. He had made no significant progress in about year - we switched to MYSS and he was swimming the length of the pool unassisted, no devices, in 3 MONTHS. Her rules may come off a little strict to some, but I don’t feel like paying for my kid to sit at the side of the pool for 25 min of a 30 min lesson. The instructors are kind and warm and always welcoming. If you want your kid to learn to swim I would never recommend anywhere else.”

“My daughter learned how to swim here, and we are so thankful to Ms. Yvonne and the entire staff! The pool is always very clean, and I feel completely safe having my daughter here. Everyone is kind, professional, and supportive. We are very happy with the experience and highly recommend their classes.”

“I recently enrolled my son in private classes at Miss Yvonne Swim School and I couldn't be happier with our experience. From the very first lesson, we noticed a significant improvement in his swimming skills. The instructors are incredibly patient and encouraging. He looked forward to his classes each week and made rapid progress in a short amount of time. Highly recommended.”

“My 5 year old son had a blast at this swim camp!! I originally signed up my kid for the sheer practicality that he needs to learn to swim and I didn’t want to take a few hours off work ever week to take him. But the stunning part was how much he loved every single second!!! Starting with the bus ride and coming home day one, he was begging me to hurry up every morning so he wouldn’t miss the bus! He came home singing an adorable camp song! He loves the variety of choices between the rock climbing wall, the pirate ship, the diving board and the water slide and after 4 days, he totally figured it out!!!!”

“I love the attention my son receives at this school, all the teachers are very attentive and kind, the pool area, the floor and locker rooms are very clean and my child loves coming to swimming classes. I feel very safe and calm since I can see my child's entire class through Zoom.”

"I am an adult who has never swum before. I started off this class with little confidence in the water and extremely uncoordinated. Miss Yvonne Swim School is exactly what I needed. The instructors worked with my skill level and comfort. They break down swimming into simple steps and work on muscle memory so swimming becomes automatic like riding a bicycle. After 12 classes, I am confident in the water and can do basic swimming! I am very grateful and happy that I joined this class."

"Miss Yvonne's swim classes are the best balance of safety, care and letting go when the child is ready. My daughter accomplished exactly what she needed and my hope for her: the ability to gracefully move away from flotation devices to staying afloat and learning strokes within a few short months, and has progressed beautifully as a confident swimmer."

"We had such a great experience at MYSS. My 5 year old daughter went in scared and crying. She was not a great swimmer but after a couple times she loved it. I was shocked at how quickly she learned to swim and was no longer scared of the water. After these swim classes, we are able to go on vacation without her being afraid of the water and enjoying the pool. I knew this was the place to send her from day one because I sent my boys to Miss Yvonnes’ summer camp a few years ago and was amazed at how in one week they went from being terrified of water to jumping off diving boards. I highly recommend this swim school and will be sending my daughter back for some more lessons, heck I might try to get lessons for myself."

"Our 5 years old son has been going to Miss Yvonne Swim School for a few months now. Although he only attends class once a week, we can witness him progressively developing solid skills advancing him to next levels. He has gotten very comfortable and confident in the water. He always looks forward to his next class to “learn or practice new tricks and have fun” which is oh so important at his age! Yvonne is personable, easy to work with, and communicates promptly!"
- Naveed B., 2021
"‘H’ has always been shy so, as parents, we were always worried that it would take him forever to learn swimming. We decided to get him lessons with MYSS to see how it would go. After a few sessions, we saw our son starting to open up and he fell in love with the pool. As the floaties started to come off so did his shell. Now he jumps off into the pool, loves going to swimming class after school, and swims with no floaties. Going to swimming twice a week with miss Yvonne Swimming School has become part of his weekly routine (his favorite part). We can’t wait to see him progress more and learn more techniques as he continues to perfect his swimming."

"Miss Yvonne Swim school has done wonders for my daughter. When she first started, she refused to get into the pool or put her face in the water. However, with great patience from the instructors, little by little she made her way into the water. Within the first couple weeks, she was going under with no problems! Eventually, my daughter was jumping into the pool, learning strokes and retrieving rings from the bottom of the pool. She was able to gain a level of confidence in a short period of time which was exactly what she needed! Thank you Miss Yvonne’s Swim school!"

"I knew my daughter needed to learn how to swim once and for all; enter, Miss Yvonne’s Swim School Summer Camp program. I enrolled my 6 year old daughter for full-time camp in the Summer of 2015, and within two weeks she was already swimming confidently without swimmies. By the end of her 6 weeks there, she was proficient in all strokes, even butterfly! I cannot say enough great things about Yvonne and her Team – it’s worth the investment in your child’s safety, and my daughter had a BLAST going there!"
- Kristy H., 2014-2016
"Like most children, my daughter was hesitant of the water and swimming. Miss Yvonne has a great way of making kids feel comfortable and confident in the water. She is the perfect combination of friendly and stern. She earned my daughter’s trust but also wouldn’t let my daughter negotiate her way out of the lesson (which she definitely would have done!). Swimming is a priority for us because we are always around water and we thank Miss Yvonne for helping to keep us safe."
- Courtney D., 2015
"Miss Yvonne is a miracle worker! Prior to attending Miss Yvonne Summer Camp my daughter was both unable to swim and fearful of jumping into the water. After 3 weeks at Miss Yvonne’s my daughter was swimming, jumping in the water and jumping off the diving board. Miss Yvonne and her talented staff really dedicated themselves to helping my daughter work through her fears and not allowing her to give up."

"An upcoming trip to Hawaii prompted my husband and I to get serious about teaching our four-year old daughter to swim. Given our short timeframe, Miss Yvonne recommended that K take two lessons per week. Six weeks later, K is jumping into the “deep end” and swimming half the length of the pool by herself. She has learned to tread water and float on her back. She and Miss Yvonne are now working on diving off the starting blocks and swimming a full lap. I am impressed at how much instruction Miss Yvonne is able to squeeze into a single 30 minute session. I am also impressed by how Miss Yvonne adapts her teaching style to meet K’s needs of the moment. Miss Yvonne is a nurturing and enthusiastic teacher, and her love of swimming has clearly rubbed off on my daughter."

"Miss Yvonne has been teaching my 3 and 5 yr old boys to swim for the last 9+ months. While she a very knowledgeable swim instructor what is most impressive is the technique she employs to get children to learn to swim and have fun at the same time. Her patience and understanding with kids who can be scared and intimidated by the water is invaluable. I highly recommend her. My 5 yr old son now swims on his own, the results say it all!"
- Danielle N., 2014
"My 5 year old son had taken swim classes from Miss Yvonne through a Summer Camp program in Hoboken. Her ability to combine instruction, while also keeping children entertained, makes her a well-qualified teacher, she is a great motivator and has extreme patience in work with children at their own comfort level."
- Allison C., 2012
"Miss Yvonne was the ideal swim instructor for my 4 year old who has some special needs. She kept him focused at all times and made sure each lesson was fun and tailored to him as an individual. She challenged him to reach his potential without letting him get frustrated or distracted. He was swimming like a fish in the matter of a few lessons! We’ve never needed a swimmy or a vest since the day we met Yvonne! As a parent, I totally appreciated Yvonne’s professionalism and enthusiasm. She’s one of a kind and I highly recommend her!"
- Carlin M., 2008-2013
"Miss Yvonne has been teaching “Y” (5 yrs old) since before she could walk! Her patience seems infinite and “Y” just loves class. Whether in a group setting or one on one (we’ve done both) Miss Yvonne is able to keep the focus on the swimming and I have watched “Y” blossom into such a confident swimmer that I, as a mom, feel totally comfortable letting her swim without having to be in the pool with her."
