Owners Ron and Mary Chlasta are dedicated to providing the highest quality swim lesson curriculum, which includes programs for all age groups from infants to adults. Sea Star's systematic approach to teaching swimming allows one skill to be built on top of the other as a means to develop the complete swimmer. Our core values for aquatic education include teaching individuals to swim: (a) for survival, (b) for competency, (c) for recreation, and (d) for competition. WATER SAFETY is our first and foremost commitment. Each teacher at Sea Star is trained and certified to teach swimming, and our "firm but gentle" approach allows our students to learn and master skills at a comfortable and confident pace.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Sea Star Swim School, and especially with Coach Scott! Our toddler has not only learned to swim but has grown so much in confidence, comfort, and joy around the water—all thanks to the incredible patience and care of the whole sea star staff. If you are interested in having your child learn about water safety with an engaging program, I highly recommend them.

I love that they have swimming lessons year around. What changed from a 5 star to a 4 star is the fact that there are NO make ups… even when your kid is homeschooled and they have extra spots during the week - nope. It’s just a money grab when they have spots open. No one can go 100% whether it’s for an illness or a trip. Regardless, it also makes kids go when sick because of the no make up policy. I wish they bent the rules just a bit for people who have extra time for week classes. Another issue is not having a lost and found. This promotes stealing and our goggles got stolen clearly since there isn’t a simple lost and found box. It doesn’t make sense in my mind why a pool wouldn’t have one, people leave stuff all the time. All and all - would I recommend to a friend? Yes, but I would mention no make ups and no lost and found.

My daughters are attending the camp there this week.

Swimming and canoeing on the lake.

It was a first time. My girls are 9 to put into perspective l. We are very happy with the way things are being run. Safety and staff ratio per kids was very very good.

My girls have come home everyday excited about going back the next day.

We are considering doing another week.

Thanks again.

I highly recommend.

We will be back.

We’ve had a great experience at Sea Star! Our son started swim lessons there when he was 6 months old, and my wife and I are grateful to have this kind of program available. We love the variety of classes they provide and the opportunity for our son swim year-round. It’s been amazing to see him learn proper techniques and gain confidence in the water. He is now 6 years old and I regularly recommend Sea Star Swim School to others.

Swimming at MTSC began as a way just to increase my fitness level. The atmosphere and coached environment just offered so much more than I could have ever imagined.
When I started my goal was simple… just get comfortable and swim a lap. Now with the coaching support, it has become a passion and now I can compete in long distance open water swims in hostile lakes and ocean swims. The best part of swimming at the Masters program with Coach Ron is you will get a great workout but you will also develop lifelong friendships!

I have been swimming at Seastar for 10+ years, and what I love about the classes is that Ron and Scott (our awesome coaches) keep things fun and dynamic, all the while pushing us to our limits. They cater to each individual swimmer’s skill level, but also make it fun across all lanes of the pool. Whether you’re a beginner or a former Olympian, there’s a spot for you at Seastar. I love it!!

The folks here at Sea Star are and have been a huge part of my family for going on 9 years. Both of my children took lessons here from the baby class to the swim team classes years later. The Chalasta’s are great it is a true family owned and family run business. They all touch the business in some way. Mrs. Jean and Mrs. Beverly are family to my family as well. Everyone there has helped make my kids better people in and out of the pool for years. I myself love being part of the family as well. Great people, true family business, and great community at Sea Star. I highly recommend.

Sea star swim school is located along the shore of old Hickory Lake, the building has quite eclectic architecture with a walkout ranch hidden at its core. The fireplace of the original house can be seen in the swim shop. Long ago the brick floor of the lobby was once a patio. There is a good view of the pool for guests and visitors through several windows in the lobby. The pool has six 25 yard lanes and stairs in the middle of the pool for those who prefer a more gentle entry into the water. The school teaches from babies to centenarians. The school is family run by life long swimmers and has a friendly staff. It’s a wonderful place to learn to swim or improve your technique.

MTSC is a welcoming and supportive master's swim club with a range of abilities to suit everyone, from beginners to seasoned veterans. Coach Ron does a great job of catering to different swim levels in a fun, relaxed atmosphere while also pushing everyone towards their personal fitness goals.

My six year old also recently had his first beginner swim class with Coach Scott and had a blast. Ms. Jean in the pro shop was very kind and helpful with fitting him out and helping him adjust some new goggles, and the other coaches pool-side made him feel very welcome. He can't wait for his next class!

I have been swimming at Sea Star 3 days a week for almost 3 years and I LOVE IT!!! I swim with the MTSC Masters team and I can’t speak highly enough about the pool and facility there at Sea Star. The water is always the perfect temperature and the pool is very well maintained. There is a large viewing area for parents and family to watch swim lessons, too. Joining MTSC and working out with the coaches at Sea Star is one of the best decisions I’ve made.

We used Sea Star when my child was very young, around 18 months. She has always had an intense fear of going under water and in the beginning of the course I felt no pressure to force her, but nearing the end we didn't feel as comfortable in the class so we stopped going.

She's 4 now so we tried again this summer in hopes she would be encouraged by her fellow students to try going under water. Parents are not allowed near the kids during the lessons so we are unable to monitor how our kids are being spoken too, and with a sensitive child with an intense fear of the water, I didn't love that. They didn't ask us about our kids or spend any time with the parents. The teacher was late to the first class and we were asked to leave so they knew little to nothing about my child.

She was assured by a female instructor that she wouldn't have to go underwater. However, when lessons started she was heavily "encouraged" to go under and felt forced to do so. By the 3rd or 4th time she was VERY upset and crying for the rest of the class. At one point she tried to get away from the teacher and from where I could see her it looked like she was pulled back into the water against her will, screaming. She was able to be convinced to go under, but was extremely upset and took 10-15 minutes to calm down after class.

We immediately discontinued lessons, and a few weeks later, encouraged by seeing her friends going under, she took the plunge herself without being forced. That was my hope for the class, but based on our experience we won't be going back.

My siblings and I all attended Sea Star when we were toddlers. We learned how to float and get to a wall to get out safely if we fell in. My sister swam for a school team and practiced here. Wonderful people!

Awesome teachers and coaches, but the parent waiting area could use a little A/C. Bring a towel for your kids for after their class, and a sweat towel for yourself!

These folks are amazing. My 6yr old and my 3yr old have been in classes there for 8 months now and LOVE it. I love that they teach survival swimming to begin with. The first thing that the kids learn is how to float and how to get out of the water. I would recommend Sea Star to anyone who wants their kids to learn how to be safe in the water. Ms Beverly has been wonderful with my son, who is on the spectrum. He has gone from being terrified of the pool to being sooo excited for swim class. You won't regret sending your kids here.

My son has been taking swim lessons here since he was one. The instructors and staff have been nothing but delightful to work with and are impeccable in teaching my son not only the basics on how to swim, but technique as well. Five years later, my son is still taking lessons because he loves to swim, and aspires to be on the swim team one day.
