What My Clients Say

My kids have worked with Coach Lou for two years. I look at it as an investment in their safety, learning fundamental skills, and watching them push themselves to achieve what used to be a biggest fear. Prior to swim lessons, my daughter could not submerge her face in the water at all. Now she knows various strokes, can swim the length of the pool, and most importantly has skills to save herself whenever she feels tired or not in control in the water. Coach Lou takes a very personalized approach and tailors each lesson to fit the need. Coach Lou is so observant and knows when to push, how far to push, and when to stay within their range of comfort. She not only truly feels proud of each milestone that is met, but makes sure that your child also feels that self pride and can identify their own accomplishments as well as areas to continue strengthening.

Lou is such a wonderful swim coach to work with. She supports your child at the level they are at, while also encouraging them to push themselves outside of their comfort zone. Her focus on making sure kids have good technique before trying to get them to go fast has really helped my swimmers excel in their lessons and has helped them grow no only in their confidence, but has keep them enjoying the water.

Coach Lou has really helped me improve my swimming ability. She has a unique ability to meet you where you are and make things so easy to understand. If I couldn't grasp a concept she was ready to break it down in different learning styles until she found one that clicked for me. She is truly the best!

Working with Coach Lou at Swim Gym completely changed my freestyle. I had been swimming for years but always felt like I was fighting the water. She broke my stroke down piece by piece and helped me understand body position, breathing, and timing in a way that finally clicked. My stroke feels smoother, more efficient, and a lot less exhausting. I’m swimming faster with less effort, and for the first time, freestyle actually feels good. I can’t recommend Swim Gym enough if you want real technique improvements.

I was terrified of deep water my entire life. After working with Lou at the Swim Gym for just 8 weeks, I can now swim laps confidently and even joined a masters swim group. The patient, encouraging approach that Lou coached with made all the difference.

My freestyle technique was holding me back in triathlons. Alexa Lou Olson at Swim Gym helped me drop 2 minutes off my swim split in just 6 weeks by fixing my body position and breathing pattern. Game changer!

As a mom of two, I wanted to make sure my kids were safe around water. The family swim lessons gave us all confidence in the pool, and now swimming is our favorite activity together. Couldn't recommend this program enough!

At 55, I thought I was too old to learn proper swimming technique. Coach Lou proved me wrong. I've learned all four strokes and swimming has become my go-to exercise for staying active and healthy. My joints feel better and so do I!!

My daughter went from being afraid to put her face in the water to swimming independently in just three months. Alexa is so incredibly patient and made every lesson fun. She actually looks forward to swim class now!

I've been swimming competitively for years, but my breaststroke needed work. The technique refinement I got here took my times from average to competitive at the state level. The attention to detail is incredible and I look forward to swim meets a lot more now.

Swimming has transformed my recovery from a knee injury. The low-impact workouts helped me rebuild strength without pain, and I've never felt better. Alexa Lou tailored everything to my specific needs and limitations. It's been the best thing I've ever done for myself.
