Clients reviews about Pengu Swim School

Great swim school academy!!!! They assigned our 2 year old with instructor Humberto because he was the instructor for toddlers that could speak Spanish (our daughter doesn't speak English yet). Instructor Humberto is awesome and our daughter has progressed so much in less than 1 year with him! She was always very nervous around pools but now she has no issue in the pools and actually enjoys going to pools now. When she started she was not enrolled in daycare so the swimming lessons also helped her in the social skills. All in all I can say that my daughter is always excited to go to Pengu Swim lessons and she always leaves with a smile specially with the little gesture they have for small kids (mini stickers and hand stamps on the way out). ~ Jesus M

I have been taking my daughter at Pengu Swim School in Katy for last one year. We have had a wonderful experience at the facility. My daughter is always excited to go to the school. The staff is good and the facility is well kept, clean and equipped with kids toys and books. There is ample sitting place for parents to watch their kids in action. The facility has many changing rooms and a decent ambiance. The instructors are very well trained and they take good care of kids. They are very flexible in accommodating schedules and their aim always has been kids friendly. There are always events and celebrations that always kids upbeat. Pengu is our family hang out place. We get to meet so many other parents and have formed our own small circle of friends. I would definitely recommend Pengu. Thanks, Pengu and team for a wonderful experience. ~ Abhishek S

We have had a wonderful experience with this swim school. My daughter started in the beginner classes and, thanks to the great coaching and encouragement she received, worked her way up to the swim team. What I appreciate most is that the instructors really focus on each child’s individual needs. They don’t just move kids through the levels; they take the time to improve their technique, build confidence, and help them become better swimmers. The staff is also incredibly friendly and approachable, from the management team and deck supervisors to every coach. They are always happy to answer questions, explain a child’s progress, and make parents feel involved in the process. We’re very grateful for everything they have done for our daughter and highly recommend this swim school to any family looking for quality instruction in a positive and supportive environment. Thank you! ~ Daniel M

We’ve had a really positive experience with this swim academy. My son has been attending classes for a while now, and the progress has been noticeable—not just in swimming ability, but also in confidence around the water. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and clearly experienced with young kids. They strike a good balance between keeping things fun and maintaining structure, which helps the kids stay engaged while still learning proper techniques and safety skills. I also appreciate how they give individual attention when needed, even in a group setting. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and the scheduling has been pretty convenient for our family. Communication from staff has also been clear and timely whenever we’ve had questions. I’d definitely recommend this academy to other parents looking for a supportive environment for their kids to learn swimming. ~ Chetan S

We have been coming to pengu so many years for my three children and will continue to stay until my kids are done with advanced level. The facility is so clean and you can see entire swim pool so that you can watch your kids and all the instructors and their interactions with children. They are so flexible with your scheduling. As long as you notice 30 mins before the lesson, you can do a make up class. Their website is easy to schedule for absence and make ups. Front desk folks are very friendly and if any issue pops up and you address them with reasons, they will try to accommodate your needs. I strongly recommend pengu for your children's swim lessons. ~ Young R

We have been at Pengu for nearly five years. Both our children have learned everything they know because of the incredible instructors at Pengu. Our family is so appreciative of all the time, effort and patience Coach Hassan has put into both our kids. Our children are excited about their time at Pengu and thoroughly enjoy their time in the water! Coach Hassan has done a phenomenal job of instructing, encouraging and providing mentorship to both our children. It’s a lot to pack into a short thirty minute session but this man always gets it done with a positive attitude. Pengu is our happy place! ~ Sabrina M

We've been so happy with this swim centre for our two daughters. Our eldest started as a baby and both have now progressed to the intermediate classes. The instructors here have always been welcoming, caring, energetic, trustworthy and gentle mannered. They go out of their way to connect with their students and are patient and encouraging. We have never had a bad lesson and I am amazed with the technique that all the young swimmers are encouraged to develop. Would absolutely recommend this center to anyone! ~ Catherine W

This swim school seriously exceeds my expectations. Not only is the facility beautiful with a huge window to watch your child swim, but they also have plenty of changing rooms and blow dryers for the kids after swimming class. Every single swim instructor my son has had has been so great. Thank you Kevin, Jose, Kristen & Grace for making sure my son is always comfortable and happy. Not to mention he’s already floating on his back and getting the hang of swimming at age 2&1/2! You guys are amazing. Keep it up!! 😊 -Torie Porter ~ Torie P

Our 3 year old son started his swim lessons at Pengu Cinco Ranch Summer Clinic. We are extremely pleased and satisfied with this facility, the management under Kiara and Fernando, the instructors, and the cleanliness.

We highly recommend this place. It is excellent. ~ K V

Santiago was absolutely amazing with my son during swim lessons this week! He was patient, encouraging, and made every lesson fun while still helping him build confidence and improve his skills. You can tell he genuinely cares about the kids he teaches. My son looked forward to every lesson, and we saw so much growth in just one week. Thank you, Santiago, for making such a positive impact. We're so grateful for everything you did! ~ Madison H

It's only my daughters 3rd swim class at Pengu and she really loves it she is 2 and in the Baby 2 class and they make it super fun with songs kids love and teaching them about swimming and swim safety at the same time. What I saw today really won my heart and really shows how all of the Staff and instructors really care about each and every student as their own. The owner/manager was walking a little girl to her class but she didn't want to leave her Mom and get in (she's in an older class so just instructor and students no parents) the owner manager stayed with her to make her comfortable showing her things doing bubbles with her and slowly got her to go in the water with the class. Then he quickly ran and changed and got in the water with them and stayed with her through the whole class not only did she stay in the water the whole class she was also having lots of fun and felt comfortable in the water :) I'm sure he had a thousand other things to do but instead took the time out to make that student feel comfortable. If you are thinking about joining don't think twice you will love it! ~ Devina D

We love Pengu! Facility is bright and clean and staffing is nice and warm! Our girl started the class since this spring and she really likes her Coach Jasmine! She is always full of energy and patient enough so we the parents can sit back and relax knowing kiddo is in good hand. Will continue recommending to friends who have the need and look forward to more splashing here! ~ C A

We are new members of Pengu and so happy with it already. Fernando is an excellent instructor who has been extremely accommodating for our schedule when other swim schools in the area would not budge with daytime weekday options. This school is so clean, peaceful and professional. I look forward to continuing to see the progress of my daughter here! ~ Emily

Pengu is the best place for kids to learn how to swim. My two oldest kids have mastered swimming here at Pengu and now my youngest goes here as well and they all enjoyed it.

They provide dryers and showers. ~ Michelle C
