Two Generations of Happy Swimmers

My family has been taking lessons at Lucile Cowle's for two generations now. We have many friends who also come and it is fun to see all of the kids learning to swim. I think the focused "one on one" teaching time that Lucile Cowle's does is the best way for little ones to learn to respect water and also to learn how to swim for fun and sports as they get older. It was very important for us as parents to have our children be water safe. We are looking forward to another year as our grand kids now take to the water to learn to be safe and have fun in the water too. Thank you Lucile Cowle's!ucile Cowle Swim School provided a great experience for all of our children. Through the years, not only did they learn to swim, but they also each became a strong swimmer. In speaking with other customers I heard of people who had swam there as a child and were now bringing their grandchildren! Thank you Lucile Cowle's!

We had a great experience too!

I had a great experience at this swim school. Paul and Sara were my daughters's instructors and after the 2nd lesson she was already swimming on her own. I was really surprised, she's 4 1/2. I was pressed for time bc were leaving on vacation and was hoping she would learn to swim before. I only had time for 6 lessons total and didn't think that would even be enough, but she's a little swimmer now jumping from the deep end, kicking and swimming on her own.

Model Swim School

I never write these things, but my son learned to swim at Lucile Cowle. They were amazing. They have young teachers who are wonderful at making children feel comfortable in the water. They were masters at keeping the lessons light and fun while teaching him all of his strokes. As an educator myself, I found the school to be a model for teaching water safety to young and school age children.

It was a great experience for my daughter

I took my 5 1/2 year old daughter to this swim school for nine 15 minute lessons.  It was a 3 day a week cycle consisting of Mon, Wed, and Friday. The instructor she was assigned was Paul. He did a good job and was great at motivating my child to do better each time. It was a great experience for my daughter to see other children learning.

A great place to learn swimming

Lucile's has been around forever, at least 32 years. I took lessons there and so did my daughter when she was 8 months old. The instructors are top notch, very knowledgeable, excellent with kids, and very professional. The facility is very clean and there is a warm, family atmosphere. Lots of chairs for parents to sit and watch while their kids are taking their lessons. I would personally recommend Lucile's to anyone. They are a bit more expensive than others but well worth the money. PROS: clean, excellent instructors, friendly, family atmosphere.

We'll be back . . .

My boys were fortunately gifted swim lessons last summer at Lucile Cowle's Swim School in Burbank.  I was a little skeptical since I had never heard of the swim school before and because the lessons were pretty expensive (although a gift to us).  The lessons here are different - one on one lessons at 15 minute intervals either 2, 3 or 5 days a week depending on your preference. My older son was paired with Paul who was really tuned into the individual needs of my 4 1/2 year old.  My tot was paired up with Lacee who was fantastic as well.  By the end of the summer my kids had progressed beautifully and next summer, gift or no gift, we'd like to send our kids back.

Want your child to swim? this is the place!

Our children all enjoyed their time at Lucile Cowle swim school. The instructors were attentive and all followed the same form of instruction techniques. The one-on-one instruction was fantastic because they were able to tailor the lesson to my child's specific needs. I have recommended this school to many people!

I never went back

I agree with Patricia. The owners are rude and not caring. The teachers are moody and rude. They could care less about your child. My kids hated this school. You can't get your money back because they only take checks and cash and you must pay before classes start. Never again.

I HIGHLY DISAGREE with Patricia Frost in regards to the swim school and Jessie as a teacher. Jessie taught my 2 1/2 year old and 15 month old daughers how to swim this summer for 2 sets of lessons and was AMAZING. She was nothing but professional in the way she handled my daughters and me as a mother and customer. Both of my daughters still talk about Miss Jessie and the fun that they had this summer with her. The swim school has been a place that not only my children have learned to swim but myself, my brothers, cousins, family friends and friends children. the owners Stephanie and Rob are very approachable and accomadating torwards their customers. I will continue to be a customer and refer people to the swim school

Great Experiences at Swim School

My one-year-old daughter and two-year-old son have each had two sets of lessons at the Lucile Cowle's swim school. As parents, we had such a great time watching them improve their skills week after week. It's been almost two months since they had their lessons, but I still get asked several times per week when will they get to see their teachers Jessi, Rachel, and Mikey again. Each of these teachers had a positive impact on our kids and we all loved our time with them. They are friendly and make the classes fun for the kids.

Great For Kids

This school is great for kids and does a great job of teaching children how to swim. Make sure, however, to sign your child up as soon as possible because they *always* fill up quickly.

We just had a 10 lesson set (3 times a week) and my kids (3.5 and 6) went from zero confidence and little ability to a great deal of both. Our instructor, Spencer, was great - calm yet firm, caring - and both kids looked forward to lessons. The one on one structure makes all the difference. More money than the Y, but a great value for what you really get. We will be going back next summer!
