My son has been part of royal swim team for the last 2 years and we are so happy with the team. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and are so involved by motivating kids to be better.

Royal Swim Team (at Valley School) I am extremely disappointed with the way Royal Swim Team operates at Valley School. They show no real concern for the kids, their safety, or the families who are trusting them. The only thing they seem to care about is money. Here is exactly what happened: I emailed Val to ask if he could train my 5-year-old child. He agreed and he was the one who scheduled the evaluation. I even notified him in advance that my child is in an enrichment class until 4:15, so w
