Swim Lessons for Kids

Philosophy

Our philosophy at Happy Fish Swim School is that learning to swim should be simple, logical, and fun. We understand that every child is different with different needs and will progress at their own pace. Allowing children to explore and make mistakes is an integral part of learning which is why our instructors are trained to positively guide students through the program at their own speed. We strive to provide the safest, most child friendly environment possible so you and your child will enjoy coming to class every week. Our ribbon level program is specially designed to help kids conquer their fear of water, learn to be water safe, and become competitive swimmers.


Students will come to class once or twice per week during a time that fits with their parent's schedule. While working towards common goals in a small group with other students, your student will earn ribbons as they achieve key skills set forth in our program. There is monthly fee associated with the program which can be paid manually or automatically with a credit card that is kept on file. Swimming at Happy Fish could possibly be the easiest learn-to-swim program in the East Bay Area. For more frequently asked questions, visit our FAQ page.
