About Us
Swim With Us is a San Francisco based swim school comprised of a small collective of experienced swim instructors who all share the same ideals and passion around learning to swim.
We know and believe that swimming is more than just a fun activity but a vital life skill that can forever impact lives. We understand and emphasize the importance of learning to swim as the independence and confidence it can give someone is valuable.
All of our instructors have a range of swim experience as well as 7+ years of teaching experience each. They’ve all worked at various swim schools in California & the Bay Area, have experience teaching privately, and now have joined together to help families on their swim journeys in the Bay Area.
Our instructors learn your child's personality in order to help them learn in a way that best suits them. We shift our curriculum to our student’s needs. Our curriculum is a comprehensive introduction to pool safety and foundational swim skills that then transition into learning all four swim strokes with an emphasis on form and Technique. ZERO experience is needed to start lessons with Swim with Us for children & ADULTS!
Most of our adult students have no experience and even have fear surrounding the water. We find that we are able to help adults learn to swim while teaching them that there is more to swim than just the movements; i.e. physiological fear based responses from the body. We like to take a more holistic approach to swim for those who need it in order get a more concrete understanding of swimming.
Our instructors can help you learn to swim, work on existing swim skills, informal swim skills/strokes, and even help you get that edge you’re looking for in swimming.
With Swim With Us we refute the idea and structure that your child is a number or quota like most traditional swim schools. We understand that swimming is not as simple as it seems and that it is truly a journey. We understand that the lessons we provide are more than just learning, that it is an experience for children and their families and for our adults who are tackling this new challenge. Therefore what we do is meaningful for us and others and we treat our lessons with care and diligence.
Swim with Us was created out of a necessity, that we have to shift the way we think and treat teaching swim.
