Advanced
Swimming Lessons
Serving the Greater East Bay including San Leandro, Castro Valley, Hayward, Oakland, and San Lorenzo, CA.
Advanced swimmers require concentration, accuracy, and a kind of coaching that challenges yet does not overwhelm them. At The Swim Academy, we coach swimmers who already understand the strokes and are eager to refine their form, increase serious endurance, and work on their speed and strategy.
The lessons are tailored for swimmers who aspire to do something beyond mere laps. We practice technique, timing, and consistency. Each workout is formulated, each set is purposed, and each swimmer receives feedback that they can apply. Improvement is monitored, applauded, and always in motion.

From competition preparation to simply swimming with confidence and endurance, this level provides the skills to help get them there. The swimmers exit the pool feeling accomplished, tested, and focused on what comes next.

Common FAQs About
Advanced Swimming Lessons
How do I know if my child is ready for advanced lessons?
Advanced swimmers are typically confident with freestyle, backstroke, and at least one additional stroke. They can swim multiple laps with control and are ready for more structured, pace-based training.
What skills do advanced lessons focus on?
We focus on stroke refinement, breathing efficiency, turns, starts, finishes, and endurance. Swimmers also learn pacing strategies and how to maintain technique during longer sets.
Are these lessons competitive in nature?
Not always. Some swimmers join this level for fitness and technique, not competition. We tailor each lesson to the swimmer’s goals, whether that’s team prep or personal improvement.
What if my swimmer wants to join a team?
Advanced lessons are a great step toward swim team readiness. We build the strength and form needed to transition smoothly into pre-team or full team programs.
How long are advanced lessons?
Lessons are structured in longer sets and include more intensive drills. Most advanced swimmers take 30 to 45-minute sessions, but longer formats may be available based on schedule and goals.
Is this level still fun, or is it all training?
It’s a mix. We challenge swimmers, but we also celebrate their wins and keep things motivating. The sense of progress and accomplishment keeps lessons exciting.
