About
Essential Swim Academy offers infant swim lessons, toddler swim lessons, and kids swim lessons that focus on swim instruction and water safety. Children work on skills such as back floats, buoyancy, breath control, floating, kicking, arm movements, stroke development, and competitive stroke refinement in freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. The program also offers private lessons and one-on-one instruction tailored to the child’s pace and goals.
• Ages: 0–18 years old
• Price: 1x/week from $200/month; 2x/week from $375/month; free evaluation included.
Essential Swim Academy provides professional mobile swim instruction through a mobile instructor model, bringing certified, private swim instruction for infants, toddlers, and children directly to private backyard pools, HOA community pools, and local aquatic facilities. Lessons are offered at the family’s own pool with no gym membership needed, and the program also offers private and group swim lessons, small class sizes, flexible scheduling, a free 15-minute consultation, and a free evaluation included with lesson plans. Every instructor is CPR and First Aid certified, background checked, and trained in age-appropriate progressions from water introduction through stroke development, and the program notes 100% certified instructors. Instructor Analisa Berry is associated with Essential Swim Academy and Yorba Linda-area instructors. Many families come through recommendations from local preschools and daycares, including KinderCare locations serving the Yorba Linda area, Heritage Oak Private School, and Montessori schools throughout the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified district.
Parent feedback includes reports of a 2-year-old doing back floats independently after six weeks, a child swimming laps after one month of private lessons, and a 4-year-old swimming the length of a home pool. Parents also describe instructor Analisa as working effectively with nervous kids, including helping a child who refused to put his face in the water to blow bubbles by the third lesson, and note that having lessons at their own pool was a “game changer” compared with rec center lessons.
