I just wanted to let you know that Samantha has gained so much confidence in her swimming due to your instructions, and her progress can only be attributed to your knowledge of swim instruction and years of experience. I have already made references to other parents. We will be changing Samantha's name to Samantha "Aquatic Times" Choy!

My kids sincerely enjoyed their lessons at AT. In fact, they looked forward to each lesson each week. We appreciate the warm hospitality of coach Gordon and Debbie - the kids felt like they were part of the family! With this special environment, the kids truly want to learn and work hard. Our kids talk about how excited they are about next summer's competition and can't wait to use what they've learned!

I noticed an improvement in Cooper's overall ability and endurance. I was particulary impressed with the young man, Matt Gillespie, and his rapport with the boys, and his ability to motivate them. Thanks for a good session. Your work is appreciated.

The clinics are well organized. The time is used wisely with technique instructions rather than just swimming laps. Gordon and Debbie are the most experienced instructors that we have seen. Justin and his cousin had a great time and can't wait until the spring clinics!

Kathy Anderson
Round Hill Heat

Our children really enjoyed the program, coaches and the setting. They love getting more H20 time to work on their technique. We feel that the clinic has taught them alot. The coaching has been great! Keep up the great work!!

Both of my kids, but especially Hunter, benefited from the small groups and very individualized instruction. It is amazing how much better they both look after such a short time! Holly was great with six-year-old boy energy. We look forward to spring clinics and lessons.

Thank you!!

The clinic has been a great confidence booster for Miranda - her whole attitude about swimming and the clinic has been very positive. Matt had great patience with Dominique and I appreciate the encouragement he gave her.

I was very impressed with the ATSA's clinics. Keven has improved so much in the past 7 weeks! I am quite amazed. His technique & speed has improved dramatically. The atmosphere & setting was very relaxed, fun and positive. His coach, Debbie, was very patient & understanding, which Keven needed. He never felt intimidated or stressed during the whole experience. I would highly recommend ATSA to anyone who wants to learn how to swim or improve their technique. I would definitely like to continue Keven whth future clinics.

I just wanted to let you know how Emily Gonzales did in her first swim meet. It was the Antioch Delta Skimmers' time trials and she received PB's in all of her events! She dropped almost 4 seconds on her I.M. time! We just wanted to thank you since the main reason for this is due to your fall and spring AT Clinics. We look forward to sending our other two daughters to the clinic in the future.

Charlie Gonzale

Thank you for your recent work with Caitlyn. The improvement in her kick and confidence was amazing at the end-of-the-year meet! She swam eight events and posted best times in all but one. Your coaching truly makes a difference.

I was really pleased with the attention to detail as far as coaching for stroke improvement. It was exactly what my daughter needed. We are looking forward to spring! Coaches were all very accommodating and patient.

Our daughter Lea has really enjoyed this fall's swim clinic. She has improved a great deal, especially on her freestyle. She has finally learned how to breath to the side, which will improve her times for swim team next summer. Debbie and Susan have been great with Lea and I would recommend them to anyone.

Thanks!

My daughter Renee has enjoyed the stroke and turn clinic, as well as the diving clinic, very much. She has made great improvements in her swimming and has always looked forward to the next clinic. The extra attention she got in stroke and turn boosted her confidence greatly and I think she will have a terrific start for the summer season. Nobody ever worked with her on the start like you did and she now talks about her own improvements all the time very proudly. I think we all will have a successful summer thanks to all the instructions she got.

Thank you!

I loved having a Fall Swim Clinic available for a reasonable cost. My son really enjoyed being able to swim for an extended time after swim team. I feel as though Jacob did get guidance on his strokes during the clinic. You have a great program and we loved Holly!

"Swimming was fun!" "I liked Jeff - he's a great coach."

Peter Jansen
Indian Valley swimmer

I was very impressed with all the coaches - their positive approach and rapport with the swimmers, and emphasis on good stroke technique. They made it fun, which is key.

Dori Jansen
Indian Valley Swim Team

My daughter, Hannah, loves everything about Aquatic Times Fall Clinics; and I've been very impressed, too. Hannah probably has learned more over the past six weeks than over the last few years. Because of such a low swimmer-to-coach ratio, they are not only able to teach the swimmers the correct technique, but also make sure they are swimming it during their practice laps. We would definitely recommend Aquatic Times Swim Academy to anyone - Hannah, because she always has so much fun - and me, because I feel it is money well spent!

Thanks Gordon and Debbie!

Debbie and Gordon are perceptive and kind. They give each child the individual instruction he or she needs while maintaining a fun, up-beat atmosphere. The focus on technique has really helped the kids to move more efficiently through the water. What a great experience the class has been for our two kids!

Sue Antolin
Woodlands Swim Team

The kids told me that, "You are really nice people, and they like the way they are treated." Also, the setting is very peaceful and relaxing. I like how the swimmers are taught each stroke in a breakdown - different segments of the stroke at a time. I have really seen an improvement in Harrison's strokes and with his desire to want to show me what he has learned. Thanks! YOU ARE BLESSED!!

Lisa Hollidge
Pleasant Hill Dolfins

Coaches give specific instruction to each swimmer, emphaszizing correct strokes vs. endurance. The kids listen to the instructors and are eager to learn. Great coaches!

Thank you,

Madison really looks forward to coming to her dive class. We feel she is being taught in a nurturing, encouraging environment. We look forward to taking more classes through Aquatic Times!

Sherri O'Connor

My point of view of the Aquatic Times clinic is that it is very good. The Johnsons way of teaching is very clear. They make sure my child is really learning the strokes and has a fun time doing it. Gordon and Debbie teach the basics and fundamentals of each stroke. They make sure the swimmers get the strokes right - working and working on them until they're right.

Dylan says... The surroundings are great! He feels very good and really comfortable at the Johnson's pool, saying it isn't as big as a regular pool, making him feel he can really trust them. He thinks the Aquatic Times clinic is really great!

John Jensen
Vista Diablo Dolphins

Both boys thought it was very good. They both said they learned a lot. Connor said this was the first time that he learned so many specifics. They never complained about going to practice. Both said they looked forward to going and learning more.

Dewayne Dalman

Maya has enjoyed and benefited from the stroke clinic so much. Thank you for taking the time to really focus thoughtfully on each swimmer.

Sue Antolin

Sean really enjoyed coming to ATSA. The coaches are great and very encouraging! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication.

Jeri Aylward

I'll make this quite short... We thought the clinic was great! ...Loved the coaches and the ratio. Max loves swimming and I think he will be a stronger swimmer in the spring for having been in this (and spring) clinic.

Thank you!

The individualized attention was the key to success at ATSA. Recognizing where each student needed help and then working with that student on that issue is the benefit of attending ATSA.

Cora Davidson
Indian Valley Swim Team

The location is great. Pool temp great. Coach to swimmer ratio - great. Technical instruction great.

Carol Johnson
Walnut Heights Otters

The swim clinic was good for Connor; although he isn't "competitive" enough to drive himself in a group setting yet. The instruction was good, professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Amanda Jordan

Vaidya has benefited a lot from this clinic especially in his breathing techniques. I would like it if the time could be extended to at least 45 minutes per class. On the whole, the experience has been wonderful and see you in spring.

Ramya Keeran
San Ramon Aquacats

Fall clinic was awesome! David learned a lot and had fun with Matt!

Pam Kessler
Indian Valley Swim Team

The coaches are excellent, professional and very nice. The kids really liked them. They never complained about coming to practice.

Cerita Leonard

The clinic was great for Tess! She has definitely improved!

Nancee Yago
Indian Valley Swim Team

...Very good. I enjoyed seeing the progress on each of the girls strokes and I'm looking forward to seeing how it equates to better efficiency next season at ADS.

Tom Donahue

Alycia enjoyed the clinics. I believe she became more confident and more comfortable in the water. And, being able to see and instruct young children also built her confidence. She is excited to coach this summer for the Skimmers - it's all she talks about!
