The KIDS FIRST Swim Schools are the world’s largest provider of children’s swimming instruction, operating 20 locations across 5 states, teaching over 150,000 students annually.
We are dedicated to teaching kids to be safe and proficient in the water. We have built America’s finest specialty designed training pools. Maintained at 90 degrees with depths ranging from 2 to 5 feet, both our instructors and students find this the perfect environment to learn. Shivering and goosebumps, often a major deterrent to the learning process, are outlawed at the KIDS FIRST Swim Schools!! Expert instructors, a trademarked curriculum and a kid-friendly environment enhance your child’s learning experience.
A wide variety of programs ensure that there is one just right for your child and your wallet. The popular Mommy/Daddy and Me program offers you and your toddler or infant (starting at 2 months old) a chance to bond in the comfort of our 90° pool while developing the primary skills of buoyancy, propulsion and breath control. It’s irresponsible to teach a child to enjoy the water, without giving them these important life saving skills.
Personal Instruction begins as early as 2 years old. These one-on-one sessions often lead to a unique bond between swimmer and instructor that we believe accelerates the learning process. It’s common to see 2 year olds swimming all over our pools! Group Lessons in a small controlled environment begin at 3 years old. In both of these programs, a trademarked curriculum is observed and achieved at a rate that is just right for your child.

Business Review
"My granddaughter loves it there and they do a great job. IMHO, the purpose/goal should be twofold: teach swimming(of course) AND make the child comfortable to return and continue. She looks forward to her time with Ms. Melanie and is so very comfortable with her. Even if you have had previous inconsistent experience here, return and see the great improvements both to the facility and management (Lilah)!" Michael B- 5 Star Review (September 2022)
"Brought my daughter here for her first swim lessons and they've been great with her. We've done group and private lessons with good results. Things are only getting better with the new manager." Andrew B. 5 Star Review (August 2022)
