They are very loose with the jump times but instructors were very professional and seem to want you to enjoy the jump as much as they obviously do. Planes look well used but were up to the task.
Thanks for the check off the bucket list

This is the place to be on a perfect Saturday and Sunday morning, the instructors just want to get get you in the sky as fast and as much as possible witch works for me cause that's what I want.
their super safe and crazy too specially Todd he tried pushing me outta the plane but I showed him and held on before letting go into a set of crazy fun frontflips. 14 jumps in and I need to learn to pack cause I'll most certainly be back.

Don't expect a return call, an answer, or anything else other than your bank account to be hit when you use their online booking. Also, don't try and call the # they list on their site, cause it's disconnected.

I tried to sign up my friend for his first jump. He is in Ontario, I'm in TN. So, I used dropzone to find the best DZ around him. BIG MISTAKE. This database must not be uptodate, or their down and out and not letting anyone know.

DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR $$.

Majestic view of Lake Ontario, Hamilton Harbor, and the City of Toronto. Swoop operates 3 aircraft: a six jumper Cessna 206 and two 4 jumper Cessna 182's.

Facilities and management needs improvement.
