An Atmosphere Where Success In Inevitable!

SWIMkids USA swimming instructors equip their Tempe swim school students with an immediate method of survival in an emergency situation by teaching them to roll on their backs where they can breathe and rest for an indefinite amount of time. After a short rest period the child is then taught to roll back onto his/her stomach and continue to swim to the safety of the wall or steps.

Located just East of Tempe, these swimming lessons are a step-by-step plan of development wherein one skill is built upon another. The skills are practiced over and over so the child learns each skill to the automatic level. Upon graduation from each level, we award the student a medal in a mini-Olympic graduation ceremony in front of his parents and peers. At SWIMkids USA, we build self-esteem and confidence through repeated success. In addition to our children swimming classes, we also offer baby swim lessons and special needs swimming classes.

Success Stories: Swim Lessons & Gym Classes

"Our family loves SWIMkids USA for a lot of reasons. We love the routine, exercise, and safety practice (especially in the swim class). MY number one reason is because of the instructors. They truly are so sweet with my kids. My 2.5 old can follow directions, wait his turn, and separate from me without distress. t's great to start them early learning life long skills. Thank you SWIMkids USA!"

"We have been here almost 3 years. You won't find a better place to come. It's always immaculately clean, the staff is amazingly friendly and always helpful. The atmosphere is awesome. They are so great with handling kids with special needs. My daughter’s therapist referred us here and I am so glad she did. We drive about 25 min to be here. It is SO worth the drive!"
cozismama
"We're so grateful for our kids' swim school! This small family business truly cares about each child and makes swimming lessons a blast and safe. They've built such strong relationships with our family, and all our kids started there as babies. They have created a strong foundation and now my kids are competing! We couldn't be happier. We wholeheartedly recommend SWIMkids USA to every family!"

"SWIMkids USA is such a welcoming community that you are able to be with from babies, through toddlerhood and beyond. Some of my most favorite memories were swim lessons with both of my babies, and the early tumbling classes. Now I get to watch my daughter weekly in gymnastics, a place where she feels comfortable and has fun. We have been a part of SWIMkids USA for the last 9 years and are thankful to be a part of it!"

"We LOVE SWIMkids USA! My daughter attends Tumble Bugs with Mr Aiden and he is soooo great! We also attend swim classes with Mr Jalen and he is just OUTSTANDING with my girl. We've been lucky to have one on one time as she adjusts to the water and I couldn't feel more thankful for that. I love that all the instructors are soooo patient and anytime I'm there all the children seem to be so happy to be there."

"I've watched my daughter transform from crying every swim lesson to being confident in the water with her kicks and strokes. I also love the gymnastics program and how my daughter's confidence has soared. And we cannot forget the amazing award ceremony complete with medals. She also looks forward to the dress up days and holiday decorations and activities. No wonder you were voted #1 Swim School. Congratulations!"

"We are so thankful for SWIMkids USA. We love the atmosphere that it brings and all the skills that our daughter has learned and continues to learn each and every week. The staff are super friendly, patient, helpful, and definitely knowledgeable on the skills our daughter needs for learning swim survival. I am lucky enough to bring our daughter to the same place that I learned to swim as a kid and grateful to support a local family owned business."
