Swim Programs

For All Ages & Abilities

Private Swim Lessons

The My Swim Buddy Learn-to-Swim Methodology is designed to build safer, stronger, and more confident swimmers. Our teachers specialize in introducing a love of the water through a gentle and adaptive progression of goals that builds confidence in our swimmers:

Water Discovery & Comfort
Safety & Confidence
Pool Discovery & Safer Play
Independent Swimming
Intro to Swim Stokes

Our Instructors

All of our teachers go through the rigorous My Swim Body Methodology training process and can teach our Learn-To-Swim curriculum. Our more experienced and Master Level teachers have also obtained certifications or additional training in specialty areas.

Learn More

There are a variety of specialty areas available based on teacher. These include:

Safer Infants & Toddlers
Adaptive Aquatics
Swim Stroke Development
Adult Learn to Swim

Our teachers with specialty areas have additional training from organizations such as Swim Angelfish (Swim Whisperers Methodology) for training in Adaptive Aquatics to better support our students with special needs. Our Competitive Stroke Development specialists study the methodology inspired by Lauri Lawrence at (Worldwide Swim School). Teachers specializing in our Safer Infants and Toddlers methodology are inspired by teaching from (Aqua Sensory).

*You can learn more about each teacher and their specialty through our teacher bios page.

Programs

To achieve your goals My Swim Buddy offers two types of swim programs—Intensives and Perpetual classes. Our Methodology is designed to meet our students where they are at and our program types are also modeled to meet the needs of students at different stages of their swim journey.

Intensive Programs

My swim buddy offers two, four, and six-week Intensive programs. During an Intensive session, a swimmer attends classes four days a week M, T, W, Th—the same time every day—for the number of weeks selected.

This format is ideal for students who are acclimating to the water, just learning the fundamentals of swimming, refreshing their knowledge before the swim season, and those who want to focus on progressing specific swim skills. Consistency is incredibly important to learning and fine-tuning a new skill, especially for children. We highly advise that swimmers start with an Intensive Class before moving to Perpetual classes.

*Intensives are limited outside the summer season.

Pricing

Tuition: $417.20

Master Teacher Tuition: $520

(M, Tu, W, Th) *Same time each day

Perpetual Membership

Perpetuals are consistent weekly classes—same days and times every week. They are perfect for students who have gained some independence and want to keep their skills fresh and progress in their capabilities. We offer Perpetuals all year which makes them a great opportunity to keep your swimmer active and advancing their proficiency even in the off-season.

*While some traditional swim schools will offer once a week perpetual class, we suggest a more intentional approach. Phillippa Lally—a health psychology researcher at University College London—conducted a study that examined the formation of habit. The study found that, “On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact.” Our goal is that your swimmer becomes independent and proficient as quickly as possible. For example, your student will achieve their swim goals at an accelerated pace if they attend class 2 times a week for 10 weeks rather than 1 time a week for over 20 weeks (you will find it will take longer than this because their memory does not support practicing a new habit only once a week).

Pricing

*Pricing for 1 lesson per week.

Schedule Your Way

What type of class is best for your child?

If you are uncertain which type of class is best for your students we advise that you review our Levels of Achievement at the bottom of our Methodology Page. If the swimmer in question does not have the skills of a MSB Green Cap—Level 4—then an Intensive is best.

A few examples of Green Cap abilities:

Swim – Float – Swim 30 ft Streamline Body
Streamline Backstroke Kicks
Freestyle w/ Windmill Arms 30 Feet

Below we have different ways for you to find the best class and schedule for your family.
