We love Farber swim school! They are super flexible when it comes to schedules and their staff is very friendly. We adore Teacher Annie! She is always intentional and knowledgeable with my son and all of her students. Highly recommend you check it out for quality swim lessons!

We cannot say enough about the amazing experience we've had at Farber Swim School. As a mom who has tried other local swim schools, I noticed the Farber difference immediatly. More impartantly my daughter noticed. At other swim schools my daughter had developed an intense fear of the water. As the parent I too had developed some anxiety around class due to strict policies and a cold clinical teaching methodology. The day we walked into farber all of that changed. Farber is family operated and you feel like family in their amazing space. The culture is welcoming, happy, relaxed and supportive. Specifically teacher Breanna has been an exceptional influence on my daughter as well as all children lucky enough to be in her class. She is so warm and intuitive with each child. Her expertise shines in class as she gets to know each child personally and builds a bond with them. Through this bond she is easily able to establish trust and to notice when they are ready for next steps. She finds a way to help the kids feel comfortable and confident and that is the BEST learning environment. I doubt we will ever find a teacher like her. My daughter now lives for swim class and sings teacher Breanna's name the entire car ride there. its been a beautiful transformation to witness. A transformation I am so grateful for. Breanna turned her fear into her passion with the most gentle confident mentorship.On top of that, Farber is considerably less expensive and more flexible on schedule changes than most swim schools in the area. 10/10 recommend.

Both my kiddos started here swimming at 4 month old and my older one is 4 now. I have to say it is a very nice place, especially for babies. The instructors are well trained and actually want to teach babies skills other than just enjoying some water time. The pool (Beaverton location) is well maintained, and there are play fence and wall mounted seat for little ones when you try to take care of yourself. The only thing I think can improve a little is they cancel or change the lesson one hour ahead sometimes, but that is probably because I am in the first lesson of Mondays. I would recommend this place for baby swimmers.

A fantastic swim school that I would highly recommend to anyone. Far better than the franchise school we started at. These teachers know what they’re doing and classes are affordable.

We have semiprivate lessons for our son with Down syndrome. His instructor is excellent and understands his needs, tailoring instruction to his ability. The wait list time was long but is so worth it. We love teacher Dana!

We love Farber Swim School! We have been in the baby and me swim lessons for over a year and a half now. My 2 year old knows water safety skills and LOVES the water. Our teacher is Annie and she is AMAZING! Definitely sign up for lessons or even drop in lessons to check it out. Very reasonable priced too!

My little one has swam at Farber since she was 6m old. Primarily with Coach Annie but also a short time with Coach Brenna. She is now 2yrs old and been there just shy of 2yrs! If our devoted time alone doesn’t say how happy we are at Farber than I don’t know what will. My tot at 2yrs old dives down to retrieve rings, will safely navigate herself to the wall when needed, and is so close to nailing her safety back float. We are so excited to see her love of the water blossoming so much. Thank you Farber and a huge thank you to Coach Annie for all the devoted time and patience you’ve blessed our little one with.

This was a dirty facility. Pee all over the toilets, mold and mildew abounding, the overwhelming smell of a vat of pee water with nowhere near enough chlorine. Which considering hundreds of kids come to pee in your pool each week, you’d think would be a little bit more maintained.

Yes, this place is run down and odd. But it's hard to keep up something that is always being used and always wet. It's hot in there, so dress appropriately. The pool is a nice temperature. They have chairs for adults and littles along the deck. There is one family changing area on deck. They do have places to put your littles (a wall chair, and playpen) if you need to change, or help change big kids. We love the drop-in private lessons for my two big kids. $44 for 30 minute lesson. It's easy to look a day or up to a couple weeks in advance and snag a spot that fits our schedule. I prefer it so don't have to worry about paying for a chunk of classes and my kids not being able to attend and thus wasting money. Shantel was great with my 3 year old, and made it really fun for her after seeing she was hesitant to hop in the pool. Ethan worked well with my 6 year old, who needed convincing with almost every activity. Will update when my kids start learning something. At this point, I really just want them to be comfortable being in the water.

We had our first drop in swim class for our 14 month old and she had a blast with teacher Kayla! The wait lists are extremely long since their pool areas are small. Its also really hot in the pool area so if you're coming to sit and watch your kid wear a t-shirt and not too many layers. The staff has been very responsive throughout the process and has been wonderful to work with. We are looking forward to getting a spot in the future. Plenty of parking outside. And they do have locker rooms but they're small with only 2 showers on the girls side which makes it hard when some parents decide to give their kids a full on bath. Overall, we had a lot of fun with the instructor.
