The gift of swimming lessons is one that kids can experience and enjoy through the holiday season and beyond, and one that will give them skills to be safer and stronger swimmers for life. Beginning swim lessons in the winter months helps to ensure that kids will be ready for safe summer swimming by giving kids time to get comfortable in the water, learn new skills, and build endurance.

At Big Blue Swim School, we teach kids ages three months to 12 years how to be safe, happy, and confident swimmers through year-round weekly swim lessons. Big Blue offers an unparalleled weekly swim lesson experience, made easier and more effective by our professional swim instructors, flexible schedule, curriculum focused on progress, and comfortable facilities with 90-degree pool water, free WIFI, and a spacious viewing area for parents and caregivers. We celebrate every bit of progress a kid makes, whether overcoming a fear or learning a new skill. We call these Big Moments because they lead kids to believe they can achieve anything in life.

Learn more about weekly swim lessons at a Big Blue Swim School location near you!
