what parents say
  • My daughter has become confident in the water in such a short amount of time. In her first lesson, she needed support from the teacher for every lap. Now on her third lesson and she is doing laps by herself. We love Big Blue!
    Danielle D
  • Love this place!!! The instructors are wonderful! The facility is so clean and the management does everything they can to ensure you and your child have success in their swim school! Plus, it’s affordable. Highly recommend big blue swim school in Sterling Heights!!
    Lacey H
  • Joining swim class helped build my son’s confidence in swimming. Last summer he was two and wouldn’t let me go when we went swimming. One month of lessons and he was swimming all by himself! He graduated to the next level, and his growth and confidence continues to grow! He jumps off the boat now with his sister and cousin! I give major praise to our swim teacher Freddie!
    Brenna S
  • This swim school provides an excellent environment with outstanding staff and top-quality classes. The facilities are always clean and fully functional, and the friendly team is readily available in person, by phone, or via text. The classes are exceptional; they gently encourage our child to step out of his comfort zone in a safe and age-appropriate way. We couldn’t be happier with our experience here.

FAQs

Unless otherwise directed by a medical professional, it is always a smart idea to consider enrolling your child in swimming lessons. Whether they have little experience or none, Big Blue can help them on their journey!

For the safety of all students, all students are initially placed based on their age-appropriate level. Students are evaluated at each lesson by our trained staff to determine their skill levels using Big Blue’s curriculum. It is not uncommon for swimmers to move up levels quickly if they have previous swim experience.
