We found Emily and her services through a blog post about Maui. We are so happy we found her. Emily dramatically increased our 3year old daughters confidence in the water and we saw an exceptional improvement in her abilities within the few weeks we were on island (6 lessons). She was able to meet us at our hotel and condo during our stay which was so convenient and much appreciated. Emily has a natural ability to interact with children, keep their attention and she utilized play based learning approaches to maximize swimming skills. She was quick to change activities based on attention spans and simplified the learning process, even I picked up a few pointers! We would highly recommend Emily for swimming lessons when on island and will be certain to contact her when we plan our next holiday. Thank you Emily!

Black Rock Beach

Reviewed By nicks866 - Victoria, Canada

Protected by a promontory, there is plenty of fish to observe, and frequent turtle visits. Don't harass the turtles, and do not go beyond the promontory - there are very strong currents and far too many people drown: Don't be one of them!
