This is the best job ever! I love it! It’s so fun and chill but serious at the same time! It’s great!
Courtney K., Coach and Deck Assistant

I love seeing all the children’s bright smiles and laughter.  PSS is a great place to work!

Marisol P., Office Manager

Potomac Swim School is a fun place to work not only because of the other staff, but because working with kids is an enjoyable experience.  People just don’t understand the feeling after a long day of instructing children–you feel like you have helped someone out.  And that just makes you feel so great about yourself.

Steven, Coach and Deck Assistant

I have been at Potomac Swim School for over five years.  This is the first job I have ever had where I couldn’t wait to go to work in the morning.  The opportunities at PSS are endless.   Working with children is joyful and rewarding.  The staff and families work as a team–we all share a common goal of providing children with swimming skills and water safety in a safe, fun and loving environment.  At PSS, I never stop laughing, and I never stop learning.  PSS is my second home.

Amy P., General Manager, Coach

I’ve just recently started working at PSS, and I love it here.  It is such a joy to come here each day to a truly happy, loving staff and really excited students!  Everyone that I encounter, staff and families alike, are always friendly.  I know I’m going to be here a long time and love my job.

Cassie N., Deck Assistant and Coach

I have been on staff with PSS for about seven months, and even though it is a job, it doesn’t feel like work.  The staff are all caring and enjoyable to be around.  I enjoy meeting all the parents and watching them interact with their children.  I love working with the kids and when you see them advance and know you have had a part in that, it makes you feel like a proud parent.

Families and Students’ Testimonials

I am thrilled with the quality of skills my children are learning at Potomac Swim School.  The instruction and small class size make the lessons the best I have seen in our area.  My children are well on their way to becoming safe, confident and skilled swimmers.

Cathy McCollough, McLean, VA; 6 years of lessons at PSS

I come from Arlington, VA, a 45 minute drive, and even I thought I was crazy.  But after over a year, we just can’t stop.  The coaches, curriculum, and "warm pool, yes!" (as my kids say), keep us coming back.  Thank you PSS!

Karen Adelstein, Arlington, VA

My five year old has been taking lessons all her life on and off until we found PSS. She made more progress in one three-month session than she had made in all of her other lessons combined. Every teacher she has had has been great! This swim school is worth every penny! I couldn’t be happier.

Jennifer, Ashburn, VA

Since our daughter, Cameryn, has been attending Potomac Swim School, she has learned to swim much quicker than any other class we had her in.  The instructor is excellent with getting the kids to learn several different strokes in only a few classes.  They have fun and look forward to each session.  We are very pleased with the staff and facilities at Potomac Swim School and recommend it to all our friends who have kids.

The Turner Family, Leesburg, VA

Our youngest daughter was afraid to even get in the water, and we were frustrated with unstructured private lessons in other swim programs. After just a few months at Potomac Swim School, our five-year-old has learned to swim, but more importantly, she now loves the water and is excited about swimming lessons.  We’ve now enrolled our nine-year-old son to improve his technique and get him to the next level.  The staff and the structured lessons are outstanding!

The Roberts Family, Hamilton, VA

Our family has been with Potomac Swim School since 2004.  We have had a wonderful experience with the coaches and staff.  Their knowledge, patience and level of instruction has been instrumental in teaching our three boys to swim. Our oldest son went through the entire curriculum including the Developmental Swim Team. He had a great experience and the Potomac Swim School was the beginning of his love to swim which developed into a competitive swim team.  As parents, we value the small student-teacher ratio and the progress that our children make every session. Thank you.
