    Mona A
  • We absolutely love Big Blue Swim School! Both of my children have been attending for over a year, and we’ve seen amazing progress. The instructors are patient, friendly, and really know how to make kids feel comfortable and confident in the water. The facility is always clean and well-organized, and the scheduling is super convenient for families. My kids look forward to every lesson — it’s one of their favorite activities of the week!
    Liudmila O
  • When we enrolled our 3.5-year-old daughter for swimming lessons, she was shy, nervous, and really afraid of the water. But her instructor Sirlain was very patient and creative and worked hard to build a bond with her. Sirlain found fun ways for my daughter to enjoy being in the water and now in less than 2 months I see such a big difference in her confidence and comfort in the water.

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.

Yes, these can be tracked within the Big Blue app or parent portal.
