KidSwim is a Los Angeles-based, developmental swimming school offering private swim lessons in your own pool. Our instructors cover the Westside, from Hancock Park to Pacific Palisades, including Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Cheviot Hills, Beverlywood and Westwood, as well as the San Fernando Valley. KidSwim Orange County will begin offering lessons in June 2008.

KidSwim’s most important goal is for each child to establish respect, routine and relationship with the water. We believe trust is key to becoming a life-long swimmer: trust in the instructor; trust in the process; and, through learning the needed water skills, trust in yourself.

KidSwim instructors achieve the company’s goal by assessing each child’s starting place, and then custom design a swim program to guide them, step-by-step, through the basic skills needed to be comfortable and competent in the water.

Our developmental process is transitional, based on the age, maturity and experience of your child. Each child’s program evolves and grows as your child has repeated positive experiences in a non-threatening environment, one that is both quiet and with no distractions.

KidSwim understands swimming is a subliminal experience, one children need to sense for themselves. Our certified instructors help your child achieve this experience through games designed to entice a child into the water, moving on to the skills needed to become a proficient swimmer, and then focusing on stroke technique, life saving skills and, for those desiring it, competitive swimming.

KidSwim’s vision for every child is to be as comfortable in the water as out of it, to swim fluidly and confidently, and to know and respect the water element and to feel safe and skilled in it.
