Our Baby Blue program helps build the foundational skills your child needs for a lifetime of swimming safety. A parent or caregiver must accompany the child in the water, and our instructors guide the baby and adult through fun, skill-building activities. Our baby swim curriculum is mainly focused on teaching infants swim safety and improving your child’s comfort level in the pool. 

Our Bright Blue program is structured for little swimmers ages 3 to 5 to further acclimate them to the swimming pool. Our swim lessons for toddlers are social and engaging, allowing your child to learn valuable skills while having fun. Ideal for beginners learning the ropes, our preschool swimming classes help build a strong foundation of skills, such as water safety. We utilize fun songs, stories, games, and colorful pool toys to introduce basic swimming skills your child will build on every time they get in the pool.

The Bold Blue program at Big Blue Swim School features swimming lessons for beginners ages 6 and up. It is designed for new swimmers with little to no experience in the water and serves as a next step for younger children who move up through the Big Blue curriculum. The goals of this program include water safety for beginner swimmers, improving confidence in the water, and building fundamental skills that your children can utilize for the rest of their lives.  

At the Big Blue level, we offer 45-minute, more advanced, competitive swimming lessons. Big Blue lessons are fun and goal-oriented, focusing on refining the following skills: 

  • Building well-rounded, confident swimmers
  • Practicing and refining the breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, and freestyle (front crawl)  
  • Improving endurance and the ability to swim 1,000 feet without stopping  
  • Preparing and practicing for swim team  
  • Swimming in larger groups as a team (up to seven students) 

Business Review

"My kiddo loves going to swimming lessons. The instructors are so encouraging and a positive influence for her. The instructors know how to provide feedback that my kiddo understands, and they really listen and offer support to help my swimmer find confidence in the water. All of the instructors are awesome!"

"I like the Big Blue philosophy of proactively teaching the swimmers new skills and advancing them to the next level when they're ready. The swim instructors also make the classes so much fun for the kids! My son's first swim teacher made his first swim lesson so much fun that there was no fear or pressure at all going into the water."

"I recommend them. First I thought it was not necessary because I can teach my daughter how to swim myself. But I made the decision to pay for her classes so she could get out of the routine and really from the first day I brought my daughter I loved it because my way of teaching would have been very different from what I saw from the first momentπŸ˜‰ Take your child, you will not lose your money and your child will thank you...thank u Big Blue Swimming School."
