Swimming Lessons for Kids 

The Bold Blue program at Big Blue Swim School features swimming lessons for beginners ages 6 and up. It is designed for new swimmers with little to no experience in the water and serves as a next step for younger children who move up through the Big Blue curriculum . 

The goals of this program include water safety for beginner swimmers, improving confidence in the water, and building fundamental skills that your children can utilize for the rest of their lives. 

Bold Blue Program Highlights 

Your child will work on the following swim skills in the Bold Blue curriculum as a beginner swimmer or after having successfully completed the Bright Blue toddler program. 

  • Successful completion of the Bright Blue toddler program 

  • A strong foundation in water safety 

  • Comfort and confidence in the water

  • Breath control 

Paced & Progressive Curriculum

All primary school swimming lessons for 6, 7, and 8-year-olds are level-appropriate and goal-oriented, allowing your children to build on the skills and techniques from previous weeks.  

Your child will not only get great exercise while progressing toward confident swimming skills but also engage other parts of the body and mind. Your child will develop motor skills, improve memory and concentration, reduce stress and anxiety, and gain confidence and self-awareness. Plus, swimming can promote healthy social skills and support better academic achievement. 

Each small group lesson runs 30 minutes with up to four kids per instructor. 

Our Bold Blue swimming lessons for kids are designed to focus on fundamental skills that build into strokes. Your child will learn:  

  • Flutter kicks 

  • Freestyle (front crawl) 

  • Rhythmic breathing 

  • Wall push-offs 

  • Breaststroke kicks 

  • Backstroke 

  • Butterfly kicks 

Your child is constantly monitored and encouraged toward skill mastery to comfortably progress at their own level. Once these skills are mastered, your child will graduate to our Big Blue program, where we take it up a notch!
