Swimming Lessons for Kids in Skokie: Teaching Safety First

Instructor teaching a swimming lessons for kids

Swimming lessons for kids in Skokie are an investment in your child’s future. It is a sad fact of life, but many children, unfortunately, never learn to swim. Lack of swimming skills isn’t just a potential safety issue, but it prevents children from realizing other lifelong benefits, such as improved health, social development, goal-setting, and more.

With over 40 years of experience, British Swim School is the perfect place for Skokie parents looking for trusted learn-to-swim programs!

What to Expect from Our Swimming Lessons

British Swim School offers survival-first swimming lessons for kids of all ages and abilities. We teach children as young as three months old to young adults. Using our fun and gentle teaching methods, we develop kids into safer swimmers through a curriculum of water acclimation, water survival, and stroke development classes.

Whether you’re new to the pool or your family has taken lessons in the past, you’ll love how fun and easy it is to build your skills with our swim instructors.

At our swim school, we offer the following programs:

  • Water Acclimation: We focus on water acclimation and building a positive relationship with the water. We’ll introduce your swimmer to water safety skills that they use throughout the entire swim program.
  • Water Survival: Swimmers are working on gaining independence in the water while mastering survival skills. Children don’t always learn the skills in order. Every child is different, and we work with them based on their abilities.
  • Stroke Development: Once the student has mastered the skills in our survival levels, we work on making them stronger swimmers with an emphasis on proper form. We alternate between different strokes each week from backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, and butterfly.
