Swim To Keary has been a game-changer for our 4-year-old son. Before Keary's lessons, our son was glued to his floaties and was unwilling to swim without them. In just three classes he started swimming with confidence. Keary's technique, along with his incredible patience, gave our son the building blocks he needed to excel in the water. We wholeheartedly recommend Keary to any parents looking for an outstanding swim instructor with a great set up. Thank you, Keary, for building our son's confidence in the water!

Our daughter really enjoyed the intensive from day one. She has improved so much since starting. Prior to this she was not very comfortable in the water. Keary, you are so patient & kind & I feel this made a huge difference. THANK YOU!

Coach Keary is absolutely wonderful! He helped our daughters build some foundational skills for swimming. He is so kind and makes the kids feel very comfortable from day one! He built trust with our daughters right away, which is not an easy task. We're so impressed! Thank you so much Coach Keary!
- Stella & Jesse E. (Burbank)
Wonderful! We have tried a variety of swim lessons over the last few years and none of them were like this. Our son looked forward to coming each day, and stayed engaged with each lesson the whole time which really helped grow his swim confidence.
- Margaret E. (Studio City)
Keary is extremely patient and works with each child at their level. Our son made incredible strides in technique and gained confidence. Thank you, Keary!
- Mallory J. (Los Angeles)
One of my neighbors won two Olympic silver medals in swimming many years ago, and he noticed how well our son has been doing. Your lessons have been a life-changer! Thank you again. So much better than what the other kids in my neighborhood are still doing after several years.

I was struggling to find a good swim option for my shy two year old who was deathly afraid of water and had a previous terrible swim school experience. A friend told me about Keary’s swim classes, and while she had not done it herself, she knew Keary as a parent and said he was a very hands on father to his own two girls and had a great way with kids - that was what really gave me confidence to try again. Keary made it easy to communicate my concerns and reassured me that it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. The first day he patiently spent time getting to know the kids and connecting with them on their level. For the first couple days, there was crying and screaming for mommy from all the kids, but Keary remained calm and collected and reassured both the parents and the kids and still managed to teach through it all. The progress from day to day was obvious, especially in those first few days. Crying was soon replaced by the sound of kids playing in the water and the parents got a nice break on the patio. By the end of the intensive, my son was comfortable with his face underwater, was able to “swim to Keary”, and get back to safety on the steps on his own. When we finished the intensive, my son would ask when we were going back to swim, and he loved the classes so much that we continued with Keary in maintenance class for as long as the weather allowed. Keary was also great about keeping us informed with what they were working on and the progress from day to day. There was a thoughtful touch to the entire experience—the pool was always sparkling and very warm, there was a big screen with a view of the pool for the parents on the patio, snacks and stickers for the kids when they finished, a photo booth for the family at the end of the intensive. It was such a great experience that I recommended it to all my friends with similar aged kids, and they all reported back with the same positive feedback after they started. We will definitely be back for more!

Our son has learned so much so fast! He started out dog paddling, and now he's doing a full-on freestyle! He is so much more confident in the water.
- Jarrett & Sarah G. (Van Nuys)
The intensive was very impressive. Our son accomplished so many of the things we wanted to work on. He learned so much in such a short period of time, as I did.
- Brooke G. (Beverly Hills)
Amazing! Our daughter started off so nervous and immdiately Keary was able to make her feel comfortable and after 2 classes kept asking when she could come swim again! "I LOVE SWIMMING!" The fact that she's already swimming a few feet confidently is amazing!
- Ashley G. (Sherman Oaks)
Keary is delightful; he’s great with kids. He had a calm energy with my toddler and stayed firm in a gentle way that enabled my kiddo to feel safe and supported while he was nervous about everything, which is understandable – it’s scary being in the water for the first time. I would absolutely recommend Swim To Keary for anybody who is looking for a swim intensive for their child to get them familiar with and comfortable in the water.
- Jennie W. (Studio City)
Beyond my expectations! Not only do I feel more comfortable with Max in/near the water, but he's confident in the pool. The entire setup was great.
- Kate R. (Charlotte, NC - staying with family in Burbank for the intensive)
There was an initial adjustment period because my son does not like to get his face wet, but he adjusted quickly and he completely trusted Keary who was very patient and kind and very thorough. It was really great to watch the transition; by the end of our second day he was jumping off the edge and was having so much fun. The TV is great because you can get a really up close view of what they’re doing and watch the progress unfold day to day quickly. It’s just such a great experience and I highly recommend it.
- Stacey G. (Studio City)
Our daughter was very excited to return for another intensive this year and was very confident in the water from the start. We enjoyed watching her grow in her skills and confidence. She can now make it across the whole pool on her own!
- Brooke R. (Studio City)
Second time around and we loved it even more. Not only did we see significant skills improvement, our daughter really had fun and felt safe.
- Trey M. (Sherman Oaks)
We absolutely loved classes with Keary. I feel that she really learned what we wanted her to learn. We really felt that God forbid we were in a situation where she fell into a pool that she would be able to get to the side and walk herself to the steps which was our main goal for this summer. We’re going to continue classes with Keary this coming summer; we feel she’ll really benefit from even more classes with Keary as she starts to get older. Keary’s incredibly sweet with the children; I couldn’t recommend it any more – two thumbs up!
- Liora T. (Sherman Oaks)
Amazing! Our daughter was so scared to put her head under water and on day 3 she was asking to go under water. She learned so much, confidence in water being #1. It was quick and convenient. Good communciation after class with progress updates!
- Noelle O. (Sherman Oaks)
Keary, thank you so much for all your work with Jake! He went to swim at Grandma's today so he could practice his new skills. He looked amazing! And I love that he wanted to continue practicing. He obviously had a wonderful experience learning from you.
