The SWIMkids difference

Why Mesa Families Choose SWIMkids USA

Year-Round Lessons, Not Just Summer

Arizona’s pools are a risk twelve months a year. Our indoor heated pools mean classes run every week of the year, so your child keeps building skills through every season.

55 Years of Experience

Founded in 1971, SWIMkids USA has earned recognition from the International Swimming Hall of Fame, USA Swimming and Aquatics International, which named us Best Swim School.

Certified Instructors, All of Them

We’re the only swim school where every instructor is certified in CPR, First Aid and Lifeguarding, and our whole team trains and certifies together every week.

We Start at Six Months

Early water exposure builds safety instincts and reduces fear. Our baby and tot-parent classes are built around the parent-child bond as much as the skills.

An Inclusive Environment

Our instructors are trained to work with children who have sensory differences, developmental disabilities or other special needs, so every Mesa child can feel confident in the water.

The Swim-Float-Swim Method

Our Swim-Float-Swim survival sequence teaches children what to do if they fall into a pool unexpectedly. It’s not just about laps. It’s about safety, even for our youngest students.

Mesa Swim Lessons at the 101 and Guadalupe

If you are looking to learn to swim in Mesa, Arizona, you should know that our swim-float-swim sequence is the standard in water safety training that many have tried to replicate: because it works! Thousands of children have been saved by this technique plus every individual who has been trained by this method is safer in the water.
