What Are People Saying About Us?
I have nothing negative to say about the place. Heather and Kenzie are incredible instructors. I trust them entirely with our kids. I'm even more impressed that I haven't seen an ounce of frustration out of these instructors after seeing kids back-to-back on 30 minute lessons. They welcome the kids into the pool by their names (how do you remember everyone?!), they never break a smile, and they are always moving to teach/instruct with a very personal and professional demeanor. Don't even consider another place.
This is the only school that was able to teach my whole family, all slow learners, how to swim within 2 months. I was able to swim freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly by the end of my 3rd month. Amazing school and even more amazing teachers! I definitely recommend this school to anyone, who wants to learn swimming, or struggled to learn how to swim in the past.
Really liking gold medal with our boys. They seem to have a good program that kids can move up through as they gain greater skills in the water. We love the focus with the little ones on waiting for adults to help them go in the water and being able to turn and grab the side if they fall in! Also love their pool and shower setup that helps allow everyone to shower off at once as classes change each 30/60 min (as a former competitive swimmer).
A Better Way to Teach Kids to Swim
We teach respect for the water, not fear. That's how you build a safe swimmer for life!

FAQs
What is Unlimited Swim and how do I request it?
Unlimited Swim is a FREE program for all students enrolled in Baby Swim, Learn To Swim, or Adult Swim classes, allowing them to attend one extra class per day based on availability. It’s a great way to add more practice and progress faster — at no additional cost! You can request an Unlimited Swim lesson under the Members tab.
What should I expect during a swim lesson?
Each 30 minute lesson focuses on fun, safety, and skill progression. At the beginning of each lesson, the instructor will reinforce our ‘Sit, Listen, and Wait’ skill and Air Regulation through blowing bubbles, both key to water safety and strong swimming. The instructor will then go through our expertly crafted curriculum teaching in small groups with a max 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio.
How long will it take for my child to learn to swim?
Every child learns at their own pace, and that’s completely normal. Our goal is to help your child become a safe, confident, and skilled swimmer — and we support that with a tailored curriculum, expert in-water instructors, and free Unlimited Swim. We focus on what matters most: helping your child learn swimming the right way, at the right pace, for lasting success in the water.
What if we can't make a lesson?
We offer easy-to-schedule makeup lessons for Baby Swim, Learn To Swim, and Adult Swim programs. If you can’t make a lesson, you can request a Makeup Voucher in your customer portal and you’ll receive a voucher that’s good for up to a year.
What age can my child start lessons?
We start lessons as early as 3 months old and encourage everyone to start swimming as soon as possible! This helps to ensure water safety and good swimming habits from a young age.
How Clean is Your Pool?
Very clean! We replace all of our pool water every six days and use an ozone disinfection system—the same type of system used to sanitize bottled water.
