Our Services


Infant Lessons

 

You can start your infant into survival swimming lessons as soon as 4 months old!

We typically like to see little ones when they are starting to sit assisted or unassisted.

Toddler Lessons

 

Toddlers make some incredible little swimmers!

We consider our toddler program to start at the age of 1 to 3 years old.

During their lessons with us, we will focus primarily on survival skills.

Stroke Work

No matter your child's age, they can begin learning strokes.

In our program we always test a child's safety skills and then move them into this lesson plan. ​
​​​​​​​
They begin learning Freestyle and Backstroke.

Then Butterfly, Breast Stroke, Flip turns and Racing Dives.

Private Swim Lessons starting at only $25/lesson or $33/lesson if we come to you!
We've found that 20 min lessons seem to work the best for those working on stroke and safety skills.  Longer double lessons (40 min) work well for 1. babies getting their back float initially, 2. special needs, and 3. Adults lessons. 4. Maintenance lessons- coming every once in a while.

Adult Student Testimonial

Our Story

 

It all started for me over 25 years ago when I had 3 girls under 3 and loved the sun, pool, and beach.

I knew I couldn’t watch all 3 of them so I picked up a book called the Baby Swim Book. I read what they did and thought

I would never do this unless I could do it with my own kids. Around that time I was teaching for the Red Cross which put me in their advanced training to teach Water Safety Instructors and Lifeguards how to swim correctly and save lives.

What I noticed was that nobody actually taught this… let alone Red Cross!

So I taught my babies to swim before they could walk and felt comfortable enough to enjoy the water without worrying about my children.

Some Common Myths About Swimming Lessons For Kids

Utah Swim Academy

Myth: Babies can’t swim.

 

Actually, babies as young as two months old can learn to be in the water. Infants are born with natural swimming instincts that makes them take to water very easily.

Our baby swimming lessons are some of the most popular lessons we offer. They also save lives, too: imagine if your baby starts taking his or her first steps, and the next week escapes your clutches and toddles straight into your backyard pool! This is a parent’s nightmare.

But if your child has been having swimming lessons with us, he or she will know exactly what to do to get back up to the surface, keep breathing, and get safely to the side of the pool.

 

Myth: My child can’t swim.

 

All children can learn to swim. Some kids start with physical difficulties, some kids have severe phobias, and some kids have learning disabilities. They can all learn to swim. Some kids may be able to achieve more in the water than others, but every child has the ability to be in the water safely and to have fun.

 

If you have been told that your child cannot learn to swim, you were talking to an instructor who either did not want to or did not know how to help your child. But we love helping kids who are really struggling to become confident in the water, and we specialize in teaching kids with special needs.

 

Myth: Swimming lessons are just for the summer.

 

We have a heated pool, so kids can swim all year long. It is much better for kids to continue swimming lessons all year long instead of stopping and starting, like summer-only lessons do.

The water is chemically treated and clean, and kids are a lot more likely to catch a bug from their friends at school than from the water in our swimming pool.  We take pride in the fact that our pool water is always crystal clear which invites a welcoming environment.
