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.

Aqua Essence has been amazing for my girls. Rishona and her team of instructors are phenomenal with the kids and my girls swimming ability proves 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.

We are beyond thrilled with Aquaessence, Rishona and our instructor Kirsten. After years (on and off)of public lessons we still had 2 non swimmers who didn't like the water. With Aquaessence my children accomplished more in 2 weeks than they ever had before. They are learning new skills at an astounding rate. Kirsten gives us an update at the end of every class...and my kids love swimming lessons now. It's almost too good to be true! Aquaessence has far exceeded our expectations.

We put my son and daughter in swimming this spring and I am amazed how much they have advanced in the pass 10 weeks. My daughter is so excited that she can swim by herself with a life jacket or the boards which she could not do 10 weeks ago. My son who is a little scared on the water is getting more comfortable every minute in the water. I saw so much improvement even from the start of the class to the end. I am so much looking forward to see what they are going to learn this summer. I have been recommending Aqua essence to all our friends. This is an amazing program.

Wow! It takes a very special instructor (Piper) and a lot of patience to work with my very shy and stubborn 3 year old!! He has made unbelievable progress with regards to the water, as well as towards forming a personal relationship with Piper!! Her knowledge of kids, her perseverance and her incredible spirit is to thank!
My 6 and 8 year old have been swimming with Aqua Essence for 2 years plus our latest summer session. Before we enrolled with Aqua Essence my kids were lacking in their swimming skills. They have caught up and have now exceeded my expectations (thank you Tali and Mikaela)! Their attitude towards swimming lessons is even more exciting than their progress -they love it and are sad to take a break until the fall!
I can't say enough about Rishona and her amazing team of instructors who make swimming fun!! I have, and will continue to recommend Aqua Essence to everyone I know.
