SAFETY is EDUCATION at the Happy Fish Swim School

At Happy Fish we focus on safety and learning, for our students and our staff.

All of our teachers are certified in American Red Cross Lifeguard Training and as Water
Safety Instructors. We hire staff based on their experience working with and love for children
and swimming. We insist teachers keep their certifications current and teaching top notch with
ongoing training sessions and evaluations of their progress.

Many of our teachers have swum and coached at the competitive level, and are able to
effectively and efficiently teach their skills to others.

We love helping people, especially children, and welcome all levels of students, including those fearful of water. Our teaching methods are state of the art, and based on the ongoing and changing knowledge of swimming. We are active members of the National Swim School Association. Our teachers attend ongoing trainings through the US Swim School Association, the American Red Cross, the American Swim Coaches Association, and other swim organizations.

Our lower levels are based on the American Red Cross swim program for water safety, with upper levels geared toward swim team. We offer small classes, even for our upper levels!
