what parents say

Excellent swimming school with highly trained teachers. My 5-year-old daughter happily attends her classes every Saturday. I highly recommend them!!

Carmen J
The whole staff at Big Blue Swim School was very accommodating and spent extra time explaining how everything works on my first time there. I wasn't sure how it would be with a 9 month old but there were so many activities to teach her. We can't wait to go back!

Alycia A
My daughter Julia and my son Dion, they both are with Miguel C, he is great and my both kids love him. Miguel is patient and he takes his time to explain the new techniques in the swimming. They feel very good with him. Thank you, Miguel for helping my kids with their swimming.

Detina P
We’ve have been coming here for a few months now and it’s been a wonderful experience! The facility and pool are always clean, and everyone is friendly. My kid has primarily been working with Giancarlo along with Jafar and Azarel. They are patient, playful, and attentive. Our little one has made amazing progress and looks forward for her next swim lesson.

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.
