My daughter began swimming with Rishona in the year 2000. I couldn't be happier with her professionalism, dedication to the kids and her ability to hire an exceptional staff. I now have 4 kids taking lessons with her and have encouraged many other parents to do so as well. I would not send my kids anywhere else!

My son was never comfortable in the water and I was concerned that he would never learn how to swim. The instructors at Aqua Essence acheived the impossible: he not only passed Level I, he now enjoys swimming!

My son and daughter have been swimming with Aqua Essence for several years now and we all love Rishona and her team of instructors. Not only have my children's swimming skills progressed rapidly over the years, but the kids look forward to coming to the pool because of the wonderful relationship that the instructors develop with their students. When they are excited about the lesson, then learning is so much more fun. I know that Aqua Essence is the right place to be!

This is the first session that my two children have done with Aqua Essence, and it was amazing. We will never do public lessons again. Kirsten did a great job with both of my kids, really improving thier skills and getting them through to the next level. I highly recommend Aqua Essence, it is well worth it.

My boys have been swimming with Aqua Essence since they were infants and I am completely thrilled with the program. The skills they have acquired and their comfort level in the water is far superior to kids that have been taught else where! Thanks Rishona and all of your amazing instructors!!

I had enrolled my infant (now toddler) son in public lessons and quickly switched to Aqua Essence and will never look back. My son was only receiving "water exposure" with the public lessons, and with Rishona, he is actually learning "water skills". The distinctions in quality of lessons are staggering, and it has been amazing to watch my 13 month old actually demonstrate swimming skills after only a few classes with Rishona.
I am thrilled to have found her thoroughly researched and effective swimming instruction program. It demonstrates a respect and belief in children's natural swimming ability and I am confident that my child will have an incredible relationship with water, one that is safe and enjoyed, for his lifetime, with thanks to Rishona.
