I write this review in hopes that I will spare other families from a terrible experience. We prepaid for 10 classes with Joseph (the owner) which was a mistake. Do yourself a favor and try his services out for a few sessions before committing to a package.

Overall, he was unreliable, unprofessional and unable to deliver on his promises. During 4 separate times, we went weeks without a lesson because of frequent cancellations. We even requested substitute teachers but it was not an option per Joseph. It took us 10 months to finish our package of 10 lessons. Most children will need consistency to become comfortable in the water — something this swim school does not prioritize.

As an instructor, Joseph is definitely not well-suited for some children (especially toddlers and preschool age). He would LIFELESSLY “go through the motions” each week assuring us not to worry and saying that the kids would adjust in their own time. Meanwhile he did nothing to allay their fears, nor would he try different strategies to help make the experience fun or enjoyable. Our children dreaded the lessons and would start crying hours before each session started. It was a tough experience.

We began lessons with a new instructor (not affiliated with this school) the week after our package was complete. Our kids immediately began to thrive and now they love going swimming! I honestly can’t believe the difference I saw after one lesson with our new instructor.

A big shout out to Bubbles Swim School - Florida for accomplishing the unimaginable with my boy. Along with sis, he’s been in group classes since 1yo and got stuck at a level due to fear/panic, he just could not learn anymore. It was sad and frustrating to all. He would not let go of the instructor’s hands or T-shirt collar, would not accept male instructor at all and would swallow so much water to the point of causing pain. Both graduated from 10 private classes with Lorena, her husband and team of instructors with backstroke beginner level I could not believe my eyes! Happy to share videos via pm if you ask me. He is a much happier child now in the water.. I can not recommend enough. PS we live in SoMi but drove to Aventura every Sunday for these classes. BEST time and money investment in my kids we have ever done so far, worth every penny! They are 4yo now. Can’t recommend enough #bubbles.school! ❤️ More...

My 4 year old son just finished a package of 10 private classes and he went from knowing nothing, to being able to survive. He’s happy, confident and excited. The teacher created a bond with him that allowed him to feel safe and progress and grow and I would recommend this school with confidence! Joseph was so supportive, thank you so much! More...

I want to thank bubbles swim school for sending an amazing lifeguard to my son's bday. Stepan is amazing. Not only did he watch the kids, but he played games both inside and outside of the pool. The kids were always entertained. Anyone can tell that he enjoys working with kids More...

My daughter Jordyn was five years old when she started swimming lessons..definitely older and more aware than the babies, which made it a little more scary for her. Joseph immediately made her feel comfortable and after just eight lessons she is almost fully swimming! It's amazing.. She now loves the water and looks forward to every lesson!! We are so pleased More...

I have been with this swim school for a year and couldn't think of a better place to send my three boys. When we started my oldest was 4, and wanted nothing to do with the pool. He was always on the stairs and cried if he was encouraged to go in further. He is now 5, and is swimming beautifully!! He loves the pool and dives like a fish. I truly don't recognize him! My middle son now 3 is also swimming and my 18 month old with only 4 classes is able to make bubbles and actually loves going under water! Joseph and lorena have been amazingly flexible and understanding, and super accommodating! ! I can't Thank them enough for all they have done for my children. THANK YOU! More...

After trying numerous different swim companies and instructors I finally found the one that taught my 5 and 3 year old how to swim after only 8 lessons. Although there were tears in the beginning, they finally learned to love it and our swimming on their own. I am forever grateful to Bubbles Swim School, Joseph, and his incredible team! More...

The group of teachers are amazing and really dedicated . My 3 daughters (18 months, 3 years and 5 years) have learn how to swim incredibly. The two youngest have private classes and they are great for beginners. My 18 month old baby is already swimming very well for her age. My 3 year old is going to start group class with the 5 year old. The group classes are great to improve swimming and also as a fun activity for my kids. I would totally recommend them for a swimming academy. More...

I'm so happy with bubbles swim school, Joseph was great with my 2 year old daughter, he taught her how to swim completely in 10 lessons! I live in a building with an open pool, so having my daughter take swimming lessons was my number one priority. I was recommended Joseph by a friend and I couldn't be happier. Now I can relax knowing I don't have to worry since my daughter can swim from one end of the pool to the other. Thanks again Joseph and your wonderful team. I definitely recommend bubbles swim school. More...

I am extremely happy I took my 2 yr old here! After having several lessons with other instructors, this was the only place my daughter learned to float and swim forward! She can now stick her head out of the water to get air and continue swimming forward! She even learned to make it across the pool by herself. I recommend this place to any parent with my eyes closed! Best gift you can give your child. Side note, you must be very patient with your child because it does take time. Results are worth it though. More...

My 3 yo and 4.5 yo each took 5 lessons with bubbles while we were in Miami (we live out of state). They had a great experience and made amazing progress in only 2 weeks. Joseph was helpful in providing me with all the information I needed. He helped us find a flexible schedule that fit our limited window of time. I only wish we had time to complete the full 10 lessons! More...

We loved every second of our bubbles experience. Joseph was calm, fun and we could tell he had lots of experience as his connection with our son happened really quickly, that is a sign of a great teacher! He mad our son feel comfortable and excited to be in the water. He found what Noam loved aka diving to get toys under water and he utilized that skillfully to also help him develop other skills. Not only were we pleased with the lessons but bubbles also offers a great customer service, registration, appointements everything was smooth and stellar! We come from Montréal and I look forward to doing classes when we travel to Florida again. Wish there was a bubbles here at home! Thanks Joseph! Noam was bragging to all his daycare friends today that he got his certificat for swimming! Lol More...

I did a lot of research prior to our trip to Florida and I am so pleased I made the right decision. She was on time and even stayed later when we showed up late.

My kids, 3 and 4 years old, didn’t know how to swim. We tried other swimming classes before but they just didn’t advance enough to swim without floating devices. After 7 classes in bubble swim they were swimming complete pools all by themselves. They even learned different techniques. I am very satisfied with the results. Also, the teachers are very warm, they sing to the kids and treat them with a lot of care. More...

This year again at 10 private lessons half way she was swimming under water on her own. Swimming lessons are so necessary especially in south Florida and this is a great program.

We did swim lessons with Joseph form Bubble Swim during our visit to Florida. My kids are 10 months old and two years old. For the younger one Joseph thought her water survival skills, submerging in water, turning around on her back and floating. The older child was learned survival skills plus kicking and swimming to the edge of the pool. Joseph was gentle yet firm and gives them breaks now and then so as not to stress them out. The pool we used was in a school and was an outdoor pool, well maintained and clean. I would definitely go back next time we visit to keep up with their swim lessons. More...
