Overview
At Colorado Swim School, we offer an exceptional swim education experience. Our caring and comprehensive instruction stems from a passion for swimming and an unwavering commitment to water safety. Dedicated to making swim education accessible, our team has created an optimal learning environment for all swimmers.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is rooted in child-centered principles. We tailor our instruction to cater to the unique needs of each learner. Our programs encompass everything from fundamental water safety and swimming skills to advanced techniques. Our inviting and temperature-controlled indoor pool offers a year-round haven for skill development.
Consistency is vital to progress, which is why we offer flexible scheduling and availability seven days a week. At Colorado Swim School, we are dedicated to providing the ideal platform for your swimmer to flourish, ensuring their aquatic journey is as enriching as it is enjoyable.
Instructors
Our instructors are not just swim teachers — they are dedicated mentors, safety advocates, and cheerleaders for your swimmer’s growth. Rigorously trained and steeped in experience, our instructors embody the heart of our swim education philosophy.
Safety Expertise
Ensuring the highest standards in swim education begins with establishing a safer learning environment. Our instructors undergo a meticulous training program that blends in-water and classroom components. In addition to over 40 hours of CSS training, each instructor holds CPR/First Aid/AED Certifications, and many are lifeguard certified, as well. But our commitment to safety doesn’t end with our instructors; we extend the same level of care to the selection and training of our lifeguards and Client Experience Team members. We believe that water safety is a collective responsibility—it truly takes a village!
Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum
Our curriculum was carefully designed to be developmentally appropriate, ensuring that each lesson aligns with the age, skill level, and physical and cognitive abilities of our swimmers. We focus on progressive learning, building upon foundational skills to help swimmers achieve their full potential in a safe and supportive environment.
For our youngest swimmers, we incorporate engaging elements such as songs, games, and toys to make learning interactive and enjoyable. With older swimmers, we take an empathetic and encouraging approach, focusing on their individual growth while ensuring they have a fantastic time in the water.
Our instructors are more than just educators; they are partners in your swimmer’s aquatic journey. They are dedicated to nurturing excellence in every stroke and instilling a lifelong love for the water.
With water’s inherent risks, particularly for children, we prioritize their well-being above all else. Our three-layer safety approach—expert instructors, a dedicated Water Safety Team, and your vigilant presence—creates an environment where your child’s safety is paramount.
Our relentless dedication to water safety, education, and creating a nurturing environment makes us the ideal choice for families seeking more than just swim lessons.
