Kayne's Instructional Swim School has been teaching year-round swim lessons for over 20 years. The program’s family-oriented teaching style focuses on water confidence and improving skills needed in nearby coastal communities such as San Clemente, Capistrano Beach, Dana Point, Laguna, and other local coastal cities. Kayne's Instructional Swim School is contracted by the City of San Clemente's recreation division, and sign ups and scheduling are run through the City of San Clemente's recreation department. Registration for certain programs is on a first-come, first-serve basis and often fills up quickly, with no registration after the first day and no make-ups for specified programs. For stroke and conditioning classes, wearing a swim cap and goggles is highly recommended but not required.
