Swimming Lessons
Serving the Greater East Bay including San Leandro, Castro Valley, Hayward, Oakland, and San Lorenzo, CA.
Beginning Swimming is excellent for youngsters who are more comfortable putting their faces in the water but have yet to float, kick, or propel themselves on their own. It is close to our Tiny Tots class but less cautious in nature. It begins at age five on up. These students are beginners, but are not afraid. They are ready to attempt it, and this is where we provide them with help, structure, and instruction to get them started.
They’ll be able to back float and front float with support, hold their breath underwater, and initiate movement in the pool. Lessons are consistent, supportive, and designed for regular progress. Instructors meet each student where they are and guide them toward taking the next step in water control and confidence.

Benefits of Beginner Swimming Lessons
Beginner classes are more than an orientation in swimming. They build water confidence and create the foundation for efficient, effective movement in the water. On a step-by-step basis, the swimmer is taught to float, kick, breathe, and move with purpose.
These benefits transfer outside of the pool as well. Swimming creates coordination, focus, and self-esteem out of the pool. It aids in patience, awareness within the body, and staying calm under stress.
