What Our Families Say
I want to highlight the amazing staff at American Swim Academy.
Mr. Jonathan has been especially thoughtful. My child is quite young, and from the moment we walked in he stayed by her side—helping with her goggles, encouraging her, and checking in often. I’ve also noticed he treats every child with the same patience and care.
I’d also like to recognize Chelsea at the front desk. Whenever I had questions, she was warm, attentive, and full of helpful suggestions.
With employees like these, it’s easy for our family to keep coming back. They truly deserve to be recognized—I hope the academy rewards them for the wonderful work they do. Thank you for making swimming such a positive experience for us.

My kids really enjoyed their summer swim session! My son started the summer session nervous and not excited at all to attend swimming lessons. His instructor, Elias, gave him the confidence to be a better swimmer with his supportive, easy going teaching style. Since then, my son looked forward to coming to lessons. My daughter also discovered her love for swimming with her instructors. I noticed that ASA instructors were focused and attentive to each child and gave suggestions to improve their strokes, rather than just letting them swim the strokes incorrectly.
As a parent, I appreciate the whole ASA staff for their organization, communication and approachability. It has always been easy to contact them via phone, email or in person. The online portal was also easy to navigate with many available times and days for lessons, which is a plus. The facility is maintained and kept clean. No matter how busy the session gets there is still ample seating to view your child’s lesson. All in all, I would definitely recommend ASA Fremont. We re-enrolled our kids again for the fall semester and look forward it!

The facilities and organization are superb! There are three family changing rooms and showers before each lesson session. The instructor to student ratio is wonderful! I had three instructors working with my two daughters during today’s lesson. I chose this school so that my girls could build stamina and confidence for a school field trip that would involve rafting and swimming with jumping into natural water. The teachers used every minute and proper teaching equipment for each skill during each lesson. They progressed and changed lanes, did different skills, and really moved them forward in the skills for the task we had at hand. Thank you, Chantel and Lee! I’m so impressed and grateful!
We have joined American swim academy for our 9 and 4 years old during summer and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging, creating a safe and supportive environment for swimmers of all levels.
The lessons were well-structured, starting with the basics and gradually progressing to more advanced techniques. I appreciated how the coach ( Tay for 4 years & Maria for 9 years) paid individual attention to each student and offered helpful tips tailored to our needs. The facility was clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space in the pool and good safety measures in place.
What really stood out was how fun and motivating the sessions were. I’ve gained a lot of confidence in the water and have seen real progress in my strokes, breathing, and endurance.
Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to learn how to swim or improve their technique. Great for both beginners and those looking to refine their skills!

Violet was struggling with her classes and it was brought to Management and Cheyenne took the time to explain and helped her to pass level. Stella was very getting discouraged about swimming and Scott spent time afterwards to help outside of the water. Gavin was stuck on a level and Drew guided the instructor to help him pass. Thank you for helping my nieces and nephews.
Fantastic facility. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. My daughter has been swimming here for multiple years now and the staff becomes like family. All of the instructors are so great and wonderful at what they do. They work so gently yet stern with the kids. My daughter is getting better and better at swimming each day. Personally, I am not a strong swimmer myself so I have lots of anxiousness and the staff has been able to talk me off of this ledge multiple times. Any concern I have ever had has been addressed and handled with compassion. I feel so confident with my daughter here at the swim school that I drive all the way from Napa to send my daughter here. I can’t say enough good things about Dublin swim Academy!
American Swim Academy is an outstanding place for children to learn to swim. My kids absolutely love coming here, and their progress has been remarkable.
Coach Ms. Nikki is exceptional. She connects effortlessly with my child, offering clear, encouraging instruction and spotting the small technique tweaks that make a big difference. Every lesson feels safe, fun, and motivating—my kid leaves the pool beaming and more confident each time.
A special thank‑you to Benny at the front desk. He was exceptionally professional and kind. When we asked if my child could remain in Ms. Nikki’s class, Benny personally verified the schedule with her and secured a spot for us, even giving us extra time to finalize payment the next day. His extra effort added a genuine human touch to our experience and truly reflects the high level of service at ASA.
The facility is spotless, the water temperature is perfect for young swimmers, and the entire environment feels welcoming and safe.
Five stars—highly recommended! ASA, please consider recognizing and rewarding outstanding team members like Ms. Nikki and Benny—an increase in their base salary or a special bonus would be well‑deserved for the tremendous value they bring to the academy.

Your Member Service Representative, Sam was outstanding in assisting with transferring my kids to another day and time for your upcoming fall quarter. Sam made it an absolute pleasure to call in rather than wait to request other available times in person.
Both of my swimmers have been taking Friday classes for the past few years and appreciate all the instructors / coaches that have shaped and mentored my kids but appreciate ASA as a whole for creating such flexibility with their swim program to accommodate the ever changing schedules we as parents have with work, school schedules and other various activities kids nowadays take interest in and look forward to continuing our swim journey with you for many years to come.
