"When my son started with Jennifer he couldn't put a toe in the water with out bursting into tears. In one week he was putting his head underwater and reaching for sinking toys! Four years later that same child is not only a fabulous and confident swimmer, but he can literally flip off a diving board! We did not hesitate to enroll our younger son in swim lessons with Jennifer at the age of 1. He is now 4 years-old and somersaulting underwater. Vacation and Summer in the pool with my kids is such a delight thanks to Jennifer!"

“When we signed up for swimming lessons with Ms. Bornholdt two summers ago I didn’t know what the big hype was…she came highly recommended by parents of children who were great swimmers. So, I figured …we would give it a try. My oldest boy, Niko, is a child who is slow to warm up and I wasn’t sure how much swimming he would learn in a session. I remember Ms. Bornholdt asking me, what the ultimate goal was for Niko. I replied, “ to swim, of course”. She said that her goal for Niko would be to trust and feel successful. At that moment I realized, THAT was the big hype. Ms. Bornholdt is mindful, respectful and above all encouraging. It is not about the level of swimming but the level of confidence. We are thankful for her support and needless to say Niko and Viktoria are awesome swimmers.”

“It would not be an understatement to say that without Jennifer my son may never have touched the water on his own. In two months he went from standing on the outer edge of the pool to being pulled through the water, floating on his back and even putting his face in. The only thing keeping him from actually swimming at this point is another round of Jennifer's lessons (Summer 2007).”

“Jennifer is an amazing swimming instructor. I am 30 years old and have never swam before in my life. I wanted to learn to swim because I'm going to Hawaii on my honeymoon, and Jennifer helped me achieve my goal. She completely understood my swimming fears and taught me at my own pace. Because of her, I now feel comfortable in the water and am looking forward to a lifetime of summer swimming. I highly recommend Jennifer as a gentle, caring, and supportive swim teacher.”

“I can’t wait to swim with you Ms. Bornholdt!”

“I had enrolled my daughters in two previous swimming classes with other instructors, and they had not learned to swim. Worse yet, one of my daughters developed a fear of the water! After a few lessons with Jennifer they were swimming and extremely comfortable in the water. She really knows how to connect with her students, especially those who require special attention. My daughters not only learned to swim but gained confidence in themselves. I highly recommend her to anyone of any age who wants to learn to swim.”

"When we began swim lessons with Jennifer, my youngest daughter wouldn't even put her head under the water, and my older daughter, while able to swim a little, was not a proficient swimmer due to her lack of proper form and her fear of the deep end of the pool. After one summer of lessons with Jennifer, my youngest daughter was finally comfortable in the water and able to go under without fear and without swallowing water. My oldest daughter developed fabulous form and a tremendous confidence in the water, eagerly swimming graceful laps and finally comfortable swimming in the deep end. They were motivated by Jennifer's wonderful approach -- encouraging, enthusiastic, yet gentle and nurturing. Clearly, they both trusted her and felt safe with her, making their lessons enjoyable and allowing them to have fun while learning to swim. We can't wait to start lessons again this summer!! Hats off to Jennifer!! Thanks so much!"
