Hubbard Family Swim School

We’ve been attending for nearly 6 years (even during the pandemic!) and are beyond satisfied with everything about Hubbard. We recommend it to everyone and we drive 30 miles past several other swim schools to get the quality we love from Hubbard each week.

We absolutely love Hubbard, our kids have been going for years. We were recommended to go here by another neighborhood family that send all three of their kids here and we couldn’t be happier. Our kids LOVE going, they have learned excellent fundamentals, and other parents routinely comment about how good they are at swimming now. As an added bonus they make good cheap cappuccinos and lattes at the snack bar, so as a parent bringing kids to morning swim class, win-win!

The absolute best swim school! The staff are amazing. We’ve been coming here for over 7 years, it’s great having the peace of mind that my children have and good understanding of water safety. Every coach we’ve had has been amazing and very supportive of my children at each stage they are in. I 100% recommend Hubbard!

Hubbard has been absolutely amazing with my special needs son. He has had two different instructors through our years there and both have been extra patient and accommodating. My son is super smitten with Mr Victor. He has made amazing progress and is able to swim well enough now that I'm not nearly worried about him around water. Highly recommend!

The location that we visit is on 32nd street in North Phoenix. The facilities are always clean, well organized, structured and well staffed. We have found every one at this location to be very professional, respectful, kind, accommodating and caring. People who work here genuinely care about the children and it shows in their manners and demeanors as well. Our child is a special needs child and the staff has gone above and beyond anything that we could have expected from them. They are patient, thoughtful, kind, respectful and attentive to what our child needs both inside the pool and in the building. They make learning to swim fun and our child looks forward to going there every week enthusiastically. We as a family are thankful for their support as our child learns a life skill that will stay with him all his life. While I can't speak for all of their locations around town, I can let you know my honest opinion about the 32nd street and Thunderbird location in this review.

My son started at Hubbard when he was 2 months old. He LOVED water! Loved baths! He was confident and happy anytime he hit water! We left when he was 10 months because we were looking for a fixed price and we found it at Aqua Tots. However just 6-7 classes into Aqua Tots, my son would scream and cry anytime he saw the pool. He was constantly screaming and crying during the lesson. He would refuse to do things he previously loved during a lesson. He hated baths which was never something we struggled with. The staff there had traumatized him to no end.Anyways, I brought my son back to Hubbard and I explained to the staff his drastic change. Coach Robbie and Coach Sarah have been incredible! Patient and understanding with us. We’ve been back about 8 times and my son acts as if he was never traumatized. He loves the water again! Last night he actually asked for a bath for the first time since his time at Aqua tots and he was excited for it again. I’m so pleased with Hubbard and I fully believe that the way they handle children and the way the lessons are created really work. I’m so grateful that they were able to bring back my little boy’s joy in the water.

Unfortunately, the member of the phone (Seemed like she worked in a call center) was very helpful to my fiance, as soon as I started asking questions she seemed worried. I asked if we could sign up for classes and she asked for what after we just had a whole conversation on which class would best fit my child. She seemed like she did not want to help and kept pushing us to use the website. If we wanted to do it online we could have. Very disappointed because we have heard so many good things about the instructors here but the staff alone, is keeping us away at the moment.
