At Discovery Swim School, we define "learning to swim" as learning to be self-reliant for one's safety and to be comfortable, confident, and free in water. Once a student can swim, he or she can easily learn strokes, too. 

​

For many, learning strokes before learning to be comfortable in water doesn't work; so, we don't teach strokes first. Read more about the STROKES MYTH here.  This is part (but not nearly all) of what makes Discovery Swim School different!

​

• We're different because we specialize in teaching fearful students and other non-swimmers of all ages, including those for whom other lessons haven't worked; AND,

• We're different because we welcome students whose needs or circumstances have not been or cannot be met by other schools, including "sinkers," military & first responders, and modest students, to name a few examples; AND,

• We're different because we will teach advanced swimming skills (strokes, snorkeling, open water swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, etc.) to any student once she/he is comfortable in water; AND,

• We're different because we can teach and train competitive swimmers at all levels, from swim team beginners to renowned athletes; AND,

• We're different because we are seasoned (trained and experienced) adult instructors who teach swimming for a living...in other words, we take this very seriously!
