TESTIMONIALS
My oldest granddaughter has attended swim classes with Michael Hardesty for 3 summers. Her ability to swim is remarkable and she loves the classes. The classes are small and Mr. Hardesty makes time for each child.
My son loves the water but he would never get in the pool without floaties. You made him feel so comfortable. His progress far exceeded our expectations. We knew he could do it but you showed him that he could. Thank you!
My daughter has been going to Mr. Mike for the past 5 years and she still gets excited when the summer is near. Not because school is done but because of swimming lessons. He brought her from that screaming toddler on the step to that confident little girl who can swim from the deep end to the shallow end all by herself. He is the best!!!!
