Meet Big Blue Short Hills
At Big Blue Swim School, we provide the safest and most fun youth swim lessons in and around the Short Hills, Millburn, and Summit area! For children ages three months to 12 years old, we are the best place for learning to swim.
From our proven swimming curriculum to our expertly trained and caring instructors, Big Blue Swim School does everything possible to help your child learn to swim in the most individualized, progress-focused way. Building a foundation of confidence in the water is where we start, and then we continue to develop swim skills for a lifetime of enjoyment and water safety.
Our clean, state-of-the-art pool facility provides a welcoming space, while our swim lessons are set up for small-class environments. Our small class sizes mean your swimmers will enjoy individualized instruction while also benefiting from learning alongside their peers. Most importantly, swimmers progress through each swim level with a focus on age- and skill-appropriate techniques, including learning the four competitive swim strokes.
Plus, our highly flexible scheduling platform makes it easy for busy families to schedule all their children's swim lessons on the same day and time, even if they are at different skill levels! You can also manage your swim lessons and track progress easily through our user-friendly app.
