  • “I have 3 kids who do swim lessons at Haefner swimming every summer. My oldest has been there for 4 years now. The amount of confidence they develop each summer is amazing. They have gone from being terrified to swim to being excited to go to swim lessons each day. I love that I’m able to have swim lessons for 3 different swimmers at different levels at the same time. Highly recommend!"

  • "This was our first summer with Haefner Swim and we had a wonderful experience from start to finish! The progress our kids made, in just one session, was impressive. The pool setting, the coaches and the Haefner family were all wonderful. Being a generational swim (business) family makes all the difference…they know what they are doing, trust the process!"

  • "We just finished our swimming session at Haefner Swimming. I can not say enough good things about all the coaches and how they divided and conquered to accommodate all swimming levels of the kids from our session. My child loved it so much and we can’t wait to go back next year! He went from 0 experience to having a great foundation to build the skills he needs to become a great swimmer."

  • “Our family loves Haefner Swimming!! My oldest who is 14 attended for 7 years and my youngest who is 4 just finished up his 3rd year. Both my boys love the water and have loved taking lessons at Haefner Swimming. They are a great family, easy to work with and treat your child like their own. We love the small group setting and love seeing what all is accomplished in a session. Thank you all again!!”

  • "We loved Haefner Swimming! This was our first experience with swim lessons and I’m so thankful we went with Haefner. It couldn’t have gone better. They made Tucker feel safe and kept lessons fun and engaging. He had fun and he learned so much. He left with the confidence to safely be in the water, float, hold his breath underwater, swim underwater, and jump off the side and swim to an adult. He was sad it ended. We can’t for next year!"

  • "Haefner Swim was such a great experience for our daughter. Her swimming improved soo much. At 4 years old she swims all over the pool now. She loved it and we will definitely be returning for more lessons in the future. Everyone was so friendly and made our daughter comfortable. Definitely recommend."

The Haefner family has swimming in its roots! Jackie and John Haefner, as well as their combined families, have a unique history of competitive swimming and coaching. This lifelong love of swimming led Jackie Haefner in 2003 to begin inviting others to her home to share swim skills and water safety, developing what is now Haefner Swimming. Over its twenty years of operation, the program has brought the joy of swimming to hundreds of families in NWA. Haefner Swimming is now run by Jackie’s son and daughter-in-law, Brandon and Mikayla Haefner, and we are supported by family and the help of our five instructors. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to serve NWA families through teaching fundamental swim skills and pray our lessons will be a blessing to your family.
