Why Gator Families Love Us

Kayla S.

Alligator Steps has been nothing but AMAZING! We have been bringing our son here since he was 5 months old and he is about to be 2 now! Everyone from the front desk, to swim instructors, to management are compassionate, caring, and passionate about what they do! Thank you to all of you!

Kristina U.

We currently have three of our kids attending Alligator Steps and they all LOVE coming here! Excellent staff, clean environment, and knowing my kids are safe in the water as they learn invaluable skills like swimming and floating gives me peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone with babies, toddlers, or kids!

Juan O.

We greatly enjoy swimming class each week. Our son has become very comfortable with the water and has a great time. The teachers are very friendly and have taught us many skills.

Raquel R.

We absolutely LOVE this swim school. My son is immune compromised and the facility is SUPER clean. The water is always crystal clear and they even have a UV filter. Private lessons have been amazing for my son!

Katie L.

We absolutely love Alligator Steps! My son has been going for 2 years now and has learned so much. We look forward to swim lessons every week. They are very organized and informative of your child’s progress throughout!

Lisa H.

We have loved our experience so far at Alligator Steps! Every teacher we’ve had has been so caring, and they make the lessons fun. I also like that they master specific skills at each step- and my kids enjoy the sense of accomplishment as they move through the steps. I’d highly recommend them!

We really love coming here and seeing the progress with our child. We so greatly appreciate Mrs. Kaitlynd and how good she has been with our little one. Everyone is so nice, friendly and one of the few places that don’t make you feel like just another dollar. We have honestly never had a single even neutral interaction with any of the 20+ employees you deal with. Nothing but positives here

Alligator Steps has been an amazing experience for our 5YO daughter. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and a genuinely a kind group of people. Ms. Sofia, Mr. Jacob, and Ms. Megan have been absolute Rockstars when it comes to coaching our daughter to swim. Our family would highly recommend this elite group of passionate swim instructors to your family!

Deniz P.

My son has been attending Alligator steps for over two years now. He is comfortable swimming and enjoying it. Ms. Veronica is a wonderful instructor and front desk staff are all amazing-Sophia, Mariah, Laura and all. I love being in the community or just walking into the building and they greet my little boy by name.
