Since 1956, Blue Buoy Swim School has mentored countless teachers and coaches, and second and third generation students attend due to their childhood memories of lessons. The school uses a gentle yet effective teaching approach and offers classes for all ages and levels, including infants and toddlers, beginners, intermediate swimmers, and advanced swimmers. Blue Buoy Swim School has two temperature controlled swimming pools kept at 90°–93°, including a small pool with large steps and shallow water for young swimmers and a large pool for advanced little ones, older age groups, adult swim lessons, and specialty events such as swim meets and the Water Safety Challenge. Blue Buoy has mentored eight former students who represented the United States in the 1984, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympics, and it was featured on the Bloomberg TV series “World’s Greatest” as one of the top companies in America. The school participates in community events such as the World’s Largest Swim Lesson and the Safer 3 Safety Challenge and serves families in Orange County, California. Gift certificates are available for swim classes.
One parent described Blue Buoy Swim School as the “Best Swim School in the OC,” noting warm pools and friendly staff and stating that Blue Buoy was worth the money spent on their children. Another parent, Michelle C., shared that Blue Buoy has been in her life for over three decades, that she learned to swim there and now brings her two children, and that she finds the environment warm and friendly with helpful and accommodating office staff.
