5 Star Review By Rachel Patragas

We have absolutely loved our experience at Bear Paddle in Aurora. Truly. It has been such a gift watching my son grow more confident in the water each week. What started as nervous energy has turned into real skill, strength, and excitement about swimming.nnIngrid, Emma, and Solea have been incredible. They are so kind and patient, but also so intentional in how they teach. They take the time to explain what they’re working on and why, and they meet each child exactly where they are. I never feel like he’s just another kid in a class. They see him. They encourage him. And they celebrate the small wins that really matter.nnAs a mom, that means everything.nnThe environment feels safe, positive, and genuinely supportive. My son feels proud of himself, and I feel confident knowing he’s learning strong water safety skills from instructors who truly care.nnWe are so grateful for this team and the role they’ve played in his swim journey. I recommend Bear Paddle Aurora without hesitation.
