what parents say
  • Beyond just being a manager, [Jalen] is a gifted instructor who showed remarkable patience and consideration while teaching my son how to swim. He didn't just teach the technical skills; he provided a level of emotional support and encouragement that made a world of difference in my son’s confidence.
  • My kid has made amazing progress since starting at Big Blue. He was stuck at his old place, not moving up levels at all. Now he swims underwater, he’s way more confident and I feel better knowing he’s safe in the water.
    Luciana S
  • We love Big Blue! Our child learned to swim in 4 classes. The staff is super nice and sweet to the kids. We will continue going to big blue until our child ages out
    Amber H

FAQs

Unless otherwise directed by a medical professional, it is always a smart idea to consider and enroll into swim lessons. Whether they have little experience to 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.
