About Catch the Wave Swim Club

Owner Debbie Stoffregen has taught children to swim for more than 15 years, a background that helped her develop Catch the Wave Swim Club's unique instructor training program, which gave him the possibility to specialize in survival swim lessons for all ages, including adults. Stoffregen only mints adult teachers and personally coaches them once they have achieved certifications in Red Cross CPR, lifeguarding, AED, and first aid. Instructors teach water safety with compassion, creating a family-like atmosphere to help adults overcome their fears, introduce infants as young as three months old (accompanied by a guardian) to the warm, 90-degree pool, and acclimate adolescents to their newly sprouted gills. Surrounded by healthy, confident swimmers, Stoffregen realized the sport could be used as a therapeutic intervention, and created classes for special-needs individuals and those desiring a low-impact way to stay fit.

The instructor my son has is great with not only him but the other kids in the class. They really make an effort to get to know you and your child which is always welcoming.

My husband & I enjoyed the class & the instructor tremendously. Spoke highly about our instructor, Jacob, to our family & friends. However, the hours are not flexible. I had to make classes within a month,one class each week. When I originally made the schedule, I didn't take into account the holidays & my husband's school schedule. I ended up working extra hours & my husband had to study for his finals, then we left town for the holidays. I'd also like to mention that we were interested in trying the swim classes out to expose my daughter to a new activity. But, I felt like we were pressured to take more classes. Instead of completing the course & deciding on our own to further the classes. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves & would wholeheartedly recommend it; however, I would give a heads-up when I recommended it to my family or friends.
