Run, don't walk away from this swim torture school! Don't let the crowds fool you. There are lots of people in Florida who buy into this philosophy that ""all kids must cry to learn to swim...they'll get over it."" It is so weird that you are made to feel stupid for wanting swimming to be fun. If your child is fearful of the water, or not confident, or scared of teachers, this is NOT the place for swim lessons. When you talk to them on the phone they will admit you are NOt allowed near the pool and that your child will cry. Very very bad strategy and not one you would tolerate for one second in preschool or any other kind of lesson. No one should willingly use power to make your kids cry. This place has a structure and no exceptions are made if your kids needs a little more TLC. My friend also had a bad experience, her son cried for weeks, ""and they just didn't care,"" she said. She went to Lafleurs and is very pleased. Please don't do this to your kids at Seal.
Pros: nice people, great facility
Cons: philosophy is that crying is just fine
