About
Farnsworth Swim School offers 1 on 1 private swimming lessons, including toddlers and kids swimming lessons, teen swimming lessons, and adult swimming lessons. The program also provides athletes and swim team training, as well as triathlete swim training, in a private, 1-on-1 lesson format with an emphasis on water safety, skill, and fun. Lessons are offered as a summer seasonal program only, and all levels are included from beginning to advanced, including swim team level and triathletes.
• Ages: 1–18 years old
• Schedule: Summer-only sessions in 4-day, 5-day, 7-day, and 8-day formats, with some sessions running over 2 weeks on consecutive weekdays
Farnsworth Swim School has been in business since 1980 and is celebrating over 45 years of operation. The swim school is led by Jaynie Farnsworth, CEO and Lead Swim Instructor. Its mission statement is that Farnsworth Swim School creates lasting and empowering connections with families by transforming their relationship with the water from fear to joy to mastery. The swim school operates during the summer only but is available for questions and comments year-round. Both pools used by the program are located at private residences, and families are asked not to disturb the homeowners outside of scheduled lesson times.
Parent feedback includes reports of children starting at age 2 and continuing to enjoy classes, with one parent noting that both of their kids learned to swim at Farnsworth Swim School and made significant progress with one-on-one attention. Another parent describes a 5-year-old with a learning disability who was floating on his back and swimming a few strokes by the end of an 8-day lesson and asked to return the next year. An adult learner from San Jose, age 42, reports becoming pool safe, playing in the pool with their kids, and swimming for exercise after a week of lessons with instructor Jaynie Farnsworth.
