“Limited pool availability and high demand has made finding swimming lessons for our two-year-old challenging. Astoria’s ample lesson offerings allowed us to finally get our son’s confidence in water. A combination of friendly staff, knowledgeable swim coaches, and a comfortable pool temperature all contributed to a great experience for our son, and us!”
