Point Me to the Water

Working with Carol Ann and her team has been an incredible experience for our family over the past three years. They have successfully taught both of my children, and me, how to swim with confidence and skill. They were amazing with my kids, using fun and engaging methods to teach them essential swimming skills and stroke techniques, and they progressed so quickly. For me, as an adult learner, Carol Ann was very skilled, breaking down complex movements into easy-to-understand steps and helping me overcome my initial nervousness. The entire team is exceptionally patient, supportive, and knowledgeable. They create a fun and safe learning environment that put us all at ease from day one. We are so grateful for their professionalism and passion. We highly recommend "Point me to the Water" to anyone looking for top-notch swimming lessons.

I highly recommend Carol Ann for swimming lessons for all ages. My son in Boy Scouts has been her student for a year and half. She has taught him multiple swimming stokes needed to pass the Boy Scout Swimming Test and Swimming Merit Badge. I was so impressed with my son's progress under Carol Ann's coaching that I began taking lessons from her as well. Swimming lessons are now a father/son activity that we do together. I would highly recommend her swim instruction for any scouts working on the swimming rank requirement, swimming merit badge, or preparing for summer camp swim test. And for any parent/children looking to spend time together learning an important life skill.

I can't say enough about how highly I regard Carol Ann and the services that she provides through Point Me to The Water. I have never been much of a swimmer but have taken many lessons over the years to try and get better at what I believe is an important skill--knowing how to swim properly. Carol Ann has proven to be the only instructor who could help me overcome my fear of the water and help me learn different swimming strokes, learn how to breathe properly, learn how to tread water, etc. She is great at what she does and from what I have observed, goes the extra mile to make sure that anyone who comes to her is going to walk away with a great foundation on proper swimming techniques. It is rare to find someone competent at teaching adults and kids, but she seems to excel at both. It is disheartening to turn on the news and hear about people--young and old--drowning while at the beach or the pool. But it's great to know that there are people like Carol Ann who want to take their passion for swimming and teaching and enable people to gain a life-saving skill. I highly recommend her and her company.

We are beyond grateful for Ms. Carol Ann! She is truly an exceptional swimming instructor. In just the first week, she not only taught our son how to swim but also helped him overcome his fear of the water — something we’ve been working on for a long time. Her patience, encouragement, and gentle approach made all the difference. Ms. Carol Ann creates a safe, fun, and empowering environment for kids, and we couldn't be happier with the progress our son has made. Highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and skilled swim coach!

The usual swim classes did not work for my little ones (5 and 2), they didn’t like the ‘factory’ feel of it all. When I found Point Me To The Water, it was a game changer. The teachers are 100% in with your child, they make it fun, engaging and my kids LOVE the water as a result. My 5 year old is a little fish now and my 2 year old is learning her survival swim. I could not recommend them enough!

I began lessons with Carol Ann, the owner of Point Me to the Water, one year ago. I have grown from being fearful of all things water, to now wanting to spend all day in the water. I have even purchased a swim spa for my house and use it frequently. I don’t know why/how her lessons worked with me when lessons in my youth did not. Awesome teacher with great results!!

We couldn’t have more great things to say about carol ann and her team! I placed my two girls in lessons after pulling them from an indoor swim place where I felt like they were not learning much swimming. My 4 year old still wouldn’t put her head in the water when we first started! Now the girls are great swimmers and my 4 year old is swimming independently across the entire pool! As a mamma and an er nurse I feel so great knowing I can take them to the pool and feel safe now! Thank you guys so much!

Fantastic swim company! Carol Ann is wonderful and is very passionate about swim safety and fitness. I have watched her give swim lessons to those of all ages, always being patient and encouraging. She also has hired a great staff to help teach lessons and lead fitness classes. I have personally attended many of the adult "Masters" swim fitness classes and a few of her water aerobics classes. PMTTW is the best in the area!
