  Olga was absolutely amazing! By only the third day, my two-year-old daughter had already made incredible progress. This was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Olga was patient, encouraging, and made my daughter feel completely comfortable and confident in the water. Months later, she still talks about Olga and asks when she can see her again! I’m so grateful for everything Olga taught her and cannot recommend her enough.

• ★★★★★

  Olga is an amazing instructor! She’s incredibly patient with our little one, even through all the screaming and crying. Our daughter was able to master the skills within just a few weeks. We were so sad that we couldn’t continue our lessons with Olga after she moved to a new location. We 100% recommend her!

• ★★★★★

  We had such a great experience with these swim lessons! Both of my kids learned so much in a short amount of time, and I was honestly impressed by how quickly they gained confidence in the water. Mrs. Olga were patient, encouraging, and made every lesson fun while still teaching proper swimming skills. You can tell she truly cares about the children and their progress. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for high-quality swim lessons.

• ★★★★★

  We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Olga and Little Stars Infant Aquatics! My 22-month-old just completed the 6-week Kick & Float program, and the transformation has been incredible. He has gained so much confidence in the water and absolutely loves to swim—getting him out of the pool is now the hardest part of our day! What truly sets Ms. Olga apart is how kind, patient, and nurturing she is. She really took the time to meet my son where he was and worked at his own pace, even when he didn’t perfectly follow the “program.” She made every lesson feel positive and encouraging, which helped him build trust and confidence in the water. I also love that the lessons are one-on-one and held every day. It is definitely a big time commitment, but the consistency and repetition make such a huge difference compared to once-a-week swim programs. The progress we saw in just six weeks was beyond what I expected. Now that my son has these important water safety skills and a love for swimming, we’ll absolutely be continuing with refresher classes. We are so grateful to Ms. Olga for giving our little boy confidence, independence, and joy in the water. I would recommend her program to any parent without hesitation! Thank you, Ms. Olga, for making such a lasting impact on our family and helping our little boy become such a confident little swimmer!

  It took me a while to find a swimming class for my two year old son. I came across Ms. Olga, because one of my friends daughter was taking lessons. I decided to go with Ms. Olga, because it was a one on one lesson (which was a must for me), and we didn’t have to be in the pool. And I feel like it was the best decision we made. Ms Olga was very welcoming and had so much patience with my son. My son loves her so much and was so sad to be done with his lessons. To Ms.Olga- Thank you so much for teaching my son to listen/follow directions. It’s amazing to see how much he has learned. Now he loves the water and isn’t afraid to jump in anymore!

• ★★★★★

  Olga is a fantastic swim instructor! I feel confident that my daughter can safely float in the event of an emergency. We will be back when she is ready to also learn how to swim. I highly reccomend Olga

• ★★★★★

  Olga is an exceptional instructor. She is very focused and professional. She figures out your kid’s quirks fairly quickly and uses them to help them navigate the water better which is such a unique talent. My daughter loves her and loves hugging Mrs. Olga during her lessons. My daughter is a year old and can float on her own after a little over 20 days in lessons. I am fascinated with her progress and will be returning for refresher courses! I absolutely reccomend Olga for your child. Amazing!!!

• ★★★★★

  I was so nervous to start swim lessons, but Olga was so kind and patient from day one! My daughter went from hardly getting in the water to being a little fish. Floating, turning on her own and swimming to the side or stairs. Still cannot believe 6 weeks went so fast and how different my 2 year old daughter is as a swimmer !

• ★★★★★

  We are beyond grateful for Ms. Olga and the incredible swim survival lessons she has provided for our son. Her patience, professionalism, and genuine care for each child truly set her apart. Watching our little one gain confidence, independence, and life-saving skills in the water has been such an amazing experience for our family.

• ★★★★★

  We are so grateful to have found such a dedicated and caring swim instructor for our daughter Ayra! From the very first lesson, the level of trust, patience, and professionalism was evident. The goal was always clear — to make Ayra safe and confident in the water — and that shared commitment made all the difference. Ayra may be a tough cookie, but her instructor Olga met her with the perfect balance of encouragement and expertise. We’ve seen real progress and, most importantly, Ayra is building a genuine comfort and safety in the water. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your child’s well-being and not just going through the motions, look no further. Highly recommend to any parent who wants the best for their little one! 🌊

• ★★★★★

  If you’re thinking about it, just do it! Olga is truly incredible. After just a short time in lessons, my 14-month-old can keep her head above water, roll, and float! Something that has brought me an unbelievable sense of peace as a parent. Especially, knowing how preventable drowning is. Olga’s knowledge, experience, and calmness really stood out to me throughout my 4-week experience with her. She takes the time to answer every question, explains the “why” behind what she’s teaching, and creates such a clean, calm, and welcoming environment. I especially appreciated the one-on-one attention with my daughter, the clean pool, and the fact that I could stay close, watch, and be involved without needing to be in the water myself. (A personal plus for me!) I truly can’t recommend Olga enough. What Olga has given my daughter and I, is confidence and peace of mind. I’m deeply grateful for the care, intention, and heart Olga pours into this work-it has made a lasting impact on the both of us.

• ★★★★★

  If you are looking for swim lessons for your little ones, look no further….Olga is absolutely amazing – her patience, skill and perseverance is unmatched! She instantly bonded with my son, and she genuinely is invested in his safety in the water. It is evident in all of her interactions with him. My son was terrified of water when we first met Olga. She went above and beyond to transform him into a little fish, and she quite literally changed our lives.

• ★★★★★

  I would like to begin by thanking Ms. Olga for her impeccable work, which is clearly evident in the results my daughter has achieved. When I started looking for a school for my one-year-old daughter to learn this technique, I knew exactly what I wanted, as I had already done it six years prior with my first child at another academy since I lived in a different city. After researching the other academies, I found they didn’t meet my needs. Some told me they couldn’t give me an estimate of how long it would take for the child to learn the technique, while others suggested I should join them and they would teach me so I could then teach my daughter. That wasn’t what I was looking for, and that’s how I came across Olga’s Little Stars Infant Aquatics. 1. She gave an estimated timeframe for the student to learn the technique. 2. A price that guaranteed completion within that timeframe. 3. A lot of care and dedication. 4. Make-up classes in case of inclement weather. 5. She clarified that students very rarely require a little more time. And here I am, four weeks later, my daughter finally finished her course, and I am very satisfied with the results. If you are looking for an academy, don’t hesitate to choose this one; I would recommend it without hesitation!

• ★★★★★

  Olga is an amazing swim coach! She took my daughter from not being able to swim at all to swimming half the pool and floating confidently by the end of the first week! We are so grateful for all the safety skills she has taught our daughter!

• ★★★★★

  Safety should be a standard across-the-board for any parent. As a mom of a toddler here in South Florida it is not an option for our family. In just six weeks, my son has gained confidence in and around water and is swimming as if he’s been doing it since the day he was born. Ms. Olga has given my son a confidence that I am forever grateful for. In six weeks he has gained skills that are forever valuable, and in the event of emergency I feel confident that he is able to self rescue. I urge every parent to make whatever sacrifices you have to in order to make this lifelong investment for your child. As harsh as this sounds, it is the truth: it is better to be prepared for an emergency than to grieve the loss of your child. Drownings happen far too often. I am blessed that we were able to make this happen for our son and that he knows what to do if he were to ever fall in the water. Thank you so much, Miss Olga. You are saving lives.

• ★★★★★

  Wow.. the peace that I feel knowing if my child is near water and has all tools to save herself is priceless. Ms. Olga has patience and a way of connecting with each child. My daughter looked forward to seeing Ms olga and swimming. My child started with no skills, and using a puddle jumper to swimming across the entire pool, all thanks to MD. Olga. My child has fun in the water and we get peace of mind knowing she is safe. Highly reccomend Ms olga and infant star aquatics.

• ★★★★★

  Brought my niece over the summer for lessons, an absolutely love Olga. My niece is very smart but can be very stubborn and strong willed an Olga was amazing with her. This woman has the best patience I have ever seen. Within the first two days, she was doing things that she’s never done before. Now she is swimming around like a mermaid. Her parents even love her. She is Continuing with the refresher courses. An looks forward to keep swimming and racing in what my niece calls mermaid school. 🥰 I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

• ★★★★★

  Worth every penny! Our daughter quickly learned to swim. Olga was always on time and was very generous with her time and knowledge. We really appreciated that she was able to come to us.

• ★★★★★

  Great swim teacher for my 2.5 year old! Olga is very patient, encouraging, and consistent with my little one who is now a 🐟!

• ★★★★★

  Amazing swim instructor. Calm, positive, gave my daughter so much confidence. I get stopped all of the time when people see my daughter at the pool thanks to Olga. My daughter loves swimming thanks to Olga

• ★★★★★

  I will recommend Olga to anyone considering putting their kids in swim. Swim safety is so important and my son who’s 1.5 gained so much confidence and skill in a matter of 6 weeks. We are all confident he has the skills to self rescue in the event of a water emergency like falling in. He is a little fish because of Olga and we could not be more grateful moving forward with peace of mind!

• ★★★★★

  We signed up for accelerated lessons with Olga for our young daughter and had a very good experience. Olga’s calm, patient and supportive approach helped our child make great progress very quickly. The lessons are structured and focused with clear and attainable goals. After 24 days, we are now confident that our child can be safe around water. We are very thankful for Olga and would highly recommend her as a swim /water safety instructor.

• ★★★★★

  Olga was amazing with my 10 month old! We did a four week program and my baby has successfully learned how to get onto her back and float if she ever falls in the water. I feel very confident that my baby will be able to float on her own if there was ever an accident. Not only am I very happy with what my baby has learned and accomplished in this program but Olga was so kind and amazing with my 10 month old! I’m so happy and impressed that we will be doing more lessons in the future with Olga!

• ★★★★★

  We had such a wonderful experience with Olga! My son looked forward to every lesson. She has a special way of connecting with little ones, always making my son feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. It’s been amazing to watch him grow more comfortable in the water and start learning real swim skills but most importantly how to stay safe in the water. Highly recommend!

• ★★★★★

  Olga taught our 2 year old to roll over and float in the pool. She also taught him to roll back over and kick to the stairs to exit. We are so happy! Definitely recommend her for teaching little ones what to do if they fall into water!! He learned all this in a month and a half!

• ★★★★★

  Miss Olga has been phenomenal in teaching our 10-month-old son to master pool safety. She not only built his confidence in the water but also taught him essential survival skills for unexpected situations, like accidental falls. Her methods truly work wonders, and we are beyond grateful for the results and the peace of mind she has given our family!

• ★★★★★

  “Amazing Results with Mrs. Olga!” Mrs. Olga has been incredible in teaching our two-year-old daughter to swim. The progress she’s made is beyond what we could have imagined! My advice to any parent: trust the process and commit to the time. Growth doesn’t happen overnight, but with Mrs. Olga’s patience and expertise, the results are truly worth it. We couldn’t be more grateful!

• ★★★★★

  I highly recommend bringing your little one to get safety swim lessons with Olga. The peace of mind that you will get is priceless. I started my son when he was 10 months old and within a couple weeks he was able to flip and float, it was incredible to see. Not only did he learn so quickly but she also takes the time to be caring, patient, and loving and will treat your child like her own. So happy I found her!

• ★★★★★

  Olga is the best! She is so patience and loving towards our son. We felt so comfortable during his 6 weeks training. We highly recommend her. He is swimming like a fish and we couldn’t be happier

• ★★★★★

  Olga is an amazing instructor!!! She is patient yet firm and is super encouraging. My almost 2 year old is now a real swimmer. The transformation has been absolutely incredible. She provides real results that are definitely worth the investment!

• ★★★★★

  Olga did sn incredible job teaching my 21 mo th old, 3 and 4 year olds how to swim. They went from refusing to put their head in the water to jumping in and swimming to the other side of the pool in less than 6 weeks. They also learnt survival methods like turning onto their back to rest even when falling into water while in their clothes.

• ★★★★★

  Olga is THE BEST!! I cannot recommend her enough. In such a short period of time she was able to get my 18 month old son to swim + learn how to float for extended periods of time. He eventually got so comfortable he would float & just peacefully stare at the sky. She is very informative, patient, and loves on your babies like her own. Truly the best experience for you + your little one to learn how to be safe in the water! 10/10 experience

• ★★★★★

  Olga’s a gem and exactly what my daughter needed. She is honest and is able to pivot to what any kid needs.. (I’ve seen it in my daughter and kids that take classes before and after her.) I’m glad we chose Olga because I confidently feel like my big girls got it now and that’s thanks to her. We’ve also signed up our son to start in the next upcoming months. If you want your kid to swim with the correct guidance, I highly recommend!

• ★★★★★

  Little Stars was the greatest find for our family! We started swim lessons with our 8 month old, who quickly learned to turn her body to get her face above the water in various situations! Olga made sure we knew Avery’s progress the entire time, including her strengths and weaknesses. She was so patient and loving with our daughter, who is not always easy when it comes to strangers! We can’t wait to continue learning with Little Stars as she grows. Extra special shoutout to our awesome (and extremely talented) videographer, who made Avery’s time in the water even more fun! 10/10 recommend!

• ★★★★★

  Olga is amazing has a strong but gentle touch. It was wonderful to see my 2 year old learn to float and swim in just a few short weeks! We’ll definitely be back. Would definitely recommend to any and all parents.

• ★★★★★

  Olga is wonderful! I highly recommend enrolling your little one in classes with her! She has relieved our anxiety of having active little ones with a pool and pond in the yard. Olga worked hard and got results within a short period of time. Her friendly demeanor and positive attitude made the kids feel at ease.

• ★★★★★

  In just 3 days, my 3 year old daughter was confident in the water and literally swimming because of Olga. She lovingly exudes warmth and compassion to children, which helps them feel comfortable with her and subsequently in the water. Olga always emphasized safety first throughout the class. Now I know my little girl is equipped with the know-how and will have a fighting chance if she should ever end up in the water alone. To say I am grateful for all Olga has done for my family is an understatement. Her 6-week class was money well spent!

• ★★★★★

  I recently enrolled my 2-year-old daughter, Charli, in swimming classes with Ms. Olga, and it has been an incredible experience for both of us. From the very first lesson, Ms. Olga demonstrated her expertise and passion for teaching young children how to swim. Ms. Olga’s warm and friendly demeanor immediately put Charli at ease. She created a nurturing and safe environment, making it easy for my daughter to trust and feel comfortable in the water. Charli now has essential swimming skills and I am forever grateful.

• ★★★★★

  Mrs. Olga is amazing. I have nothing but great things to say about her and her program. I was so nervous to start both of my girls but I knew it was absolutely necessary for them to learn what to do in the water. Mrs. Olga was so patient with them every single day. She was so caring and affectionate with them. Gave them all the hugs they needed in the water as they rested on het shoulder which they loved to do. In just 4 short weeks they are both jumping into the pool, swimming and floating. Mrs. Olga can throw them and flip them around in any direction and they have been taught to know exactly what to do to keep themselves safe! Let me add that when we started the program the girls were just 1 and 3 years old. They had never been underwater, fought us to tilt their head back during bath time to wash their hair. Now they are jumping into the pool and swimming underwater with their eyes opened. It’s amazing. I am so proud of them and SO so so thankful that I was able to come across Mrs. Olga and her amazing program.

• ★★★★★

  Mrs. Olga was a treasure to find! We loved every minute even the worst days! She made it so welcoming and safe feeling! Really just made teaching kids to swim look so effortless. My daughter asks daily when she going to see Mrs. Olga to swim! We love her! If you’re on the edge or thinking about it, dive in! You won’t regret it!
