Dolphins of the Desert Swimming Academy

I couldn't recommend Jeff and Geoff more highly for swimming lessons. My daughter has been taking lessons with them since the age of 4 and under their guidance has gone from being afraid to even put her face in the water to swimming multiple strokes with competence and skill. Their private lesson model is well worth it - we had previously done group lessons and my daughter learned only a fraction of what she has learned from Jeff and Geoff with 1:1 attention. Water safety is so important for kids growing up in AZ, and I'm so grateful to Jeff and Geoff for giving my daughter the skills she needs to be safe. Highly, highly recommend!

I've been on Masters teams in NC, Seattle, and LA and Dolphins of the Desert has been the best by far. Jeff is a phenomenal swimming coach. He does an incredible job of being inclusive to all swimmers while pushing and providing challenging workouts for all. I look forward every week to swimming with Jeff and the team!

We wanted our five year old daughter to have individual swim instruction, but we were only interested in the best. After carefully evaluating other swim programs around Tucson, and having the opportunity to work with Geoff, we had to revise our own definition of "the best"... as we completely underestimated what was possible through Dolphins of the Desert. The swim instruction our daughter receives from Geoff is nothing short of world-class, and he never fails to make the experience fun and engaging for her. He is patient, observant and knows precisely how to address her individual swim development needs. I only regret that Google does not have a six-star review option, because Geoff and Dolphins of the Desert certainly deserves it.

All of the instructors at Dolphins are excellent. My 12-year-old son, Alex, now takes private lessons with Geoff Glaser, and he absolutely LOVES them. Geoff is incredibly patient, passionate, and meticulous—he’s great at breaking down techniques in a way that really clicks. He’s also been very kind and helpful with me as a parent, taking time to guide me through the website and swim team rules. We feel very fortunate to have him as Alex’s coach.

Geoff and the team at Dolphins are great. The boys have been swimming with them for the last 5 years. The swimming lessons are perfect for the beginning and the experienced swimmers. Geoff and the other instructors are skilled at individualizing the training.
