Foss Swim School has proven success over the past 16 years with a method that is truly our own.

Our program is executed better and more consistently than any other program following our lead. Our reputation for solid technique, well trained instructors, creative curriculum and delivering predictable quality has produced over 80,000 swimmers since 1993.

Warm water!! – Our pools are 91º and used only to teach
swimming lessons. In fact, the entire facility is there only to teach swimming lessons. Children are comfortable and able to focus on learning to swim. Other lessons are taught in pools that maintain a cooler temperature (between 82-86º) to facilitate lap swimming and aerobics classes or other childcare/child activities. No blue lipped shivering kids waiting for their turn here!

Quality Standards for Instructors - Our instructors receive
over 108 hours of training within their first year of employment and are reviewed after every session they complete. They are all 18 or older and CPR certified. They are chosen on their willingness to “be there” for your child each week and their ability to communicate well with children. Any instructor who falls below a benchmark score within one session is either provided additional training or removed.

Teaching pools – Our full-length, warm-water pools are built
with stairs for little swimmers, islands, benches and a maximum depth of 4 feet. Organized classes provide the correct space to maintain safety while challenging swimmers. Students learn in a focused, safe and consistent, child friendly aquatic environment. Locker rooms, decks and observation rooms are for families and it’s all about learning to swim.

Small class sizes – Our youngest beginning group swimmers
enjoy a 3:1 ratio. All other classes are 4:1 with the exception of parent/child Backfloat Baby classes (5:1) and team-style classes (7:1 ratio). Private and semi-private lessons are also available if your child responds best to this teaching style.

LAUGH any way you want to!! – We think it’s healthy to laugh
and learn everyday. We provide the energy, enthusiasm, stories, pictures, games, toys, songs, monsters, dolphins, magic carpets, cute little dancing fairy princess people, superheros and Luke Skywalker light saber action that kids respond to! Our ceiling has been “painted” every possible color by little hands learning the backstroke. So go ahead, be silly, laugh it up, and enjoy your child at their swim lessons…we do!

Perks! – We offer “Miss A. Class” vouchers for children to
swim if they miss a class. Our Breakthrough skill clinics are FREE to anyone when you attend our Family Fun Swims. Try a non-competitive fun meet and test run all those new skills for $8.00! Watch for promotions each quarter. How about adding a second lesson for $8.00! Forgot goggles? We have them for you! Forgot your towel? We’ve got you covered! Need to buy a new suit? We stock just the retail you need. These are just some of the things we offer when we’re not busy teaching the BEST swim lessons in town!
