"We have been swimming at the Apple Valley location for almost 6 years.
I am so impressed with how comfortable my 6 year old and 3 year old are in the water and what great swimmers they are because of the amazing teachers here! We love the low student:teacher ratio and the frequent evaluations to see their progress. Highly recommend Apple Valley Wise Swim!"
