About

SafeSplash Swim School offers swim lessons, group classes, private lessons, adult classes, adaptive aquatics, and competitive swim programs. Lessons are available for all ages and abilities, from a baby’s first splash through competitive swimmers.

• Ages: 0–18 years old

Founded in 2020 as part of Youth Enrichment Brands (YEB), SafeSplash Swim School is connected to a platform that supports over 1 million children each year and includes more than 150 SafeSplash locations nationwide. The program follows a clear path to mastering 10 essential swim-safety skills, with a “10 Lifesaving Skills in 1 Year or Less” approach and the S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Promise, including up to 2 months of free lessons if more time is needed. Lessons are tailored to swimmer level, achievements are celebrated, and sister schools share the same curriculum, certified instructors, and focus on safety and skill-building. All instructors are certified and described in parent reviews as highly skilled, patient, and encouraging, with strong instructor retention noted by families.

The school’s mission statement says that life-saving water safety is at the heart of everything they do, providing peace of mind and building trust from the first lesson. SafeSplash has partnered with the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA), and it is the exclusive Platinum Learn-to-Swim provider in the NDPA’s Commitment to Safer Waters program. The facility includes a pool, changing rooms, showers, and a large kids’ section to color and play in while waiting for class, with warm water, big changing rooms with hair dryers, clothes dryers, and bathrooms, and a clean, well-maintained environment. Loved ones can observe behind the glass without interfering with class time.

Parent and adult testimonials describe children counting down to their next swim lesson, progress over a few months, and instruction that shows proper swimming and water safety techniques while keeping lessons exciting and fun. Multiple parents mention welcoming front desk staff, helpful and accommodating service, and instructors who are understanding, not pushy, and professional. Families of autistic children and children with other needs describe adaptive aquatics experiences where instructors make accommodations, comfort kids when they are overstimulated, and continue to help them learn. Adults in lessons report small class sizes, patient instructors, and feeling glad they started, and several parents note that their children became more comfortable in the water and looked forward to seeing their instructors each week.
