Swimming School in Edmonton: Safety, Fun, and Learning

Children attending a swimming school

Swimming isn’t just a fun extracurricular activity or an effective form of exercise; it’s a life-saving skill. Sounds great, but where do you start once you’re ready? We’re here to help you find the perfect swimming school in Edmonton for your family.

Water safety should be the number one priority of every swimming school—both during and outside of the lessons. Look for programs with a survival-first approach, where they teach water survival skills before stroke techniques. Drowning is often silent, and it can happen quickly. In an emergency, it’s important to know how to respond and what to do.

It’s also important to find qualified and well-trained swim instructors. Beyond their background, consider their personality and teaching styles. Working with a friendly and encouraging instructor is helpful for children who are nervous about learning to swim.

Find out how many students take part in each lesson. Small groups provide more individual attention for each student. Children also have an easier time getting to know their classmates, which makes lessons more enjoyable. Remember, learning to swim should be fun.

If you’re feeling unsure, contact the swimming school to speak with their staff. They can provide more information to ensure their program meets your needs.

I am amazed at the progress my kids have made since joining

"I am amazed at the progress my kids have made since joining! After years of attempting to teach the same skills at home, British swim school moved them beyond what I had hoped in just a few months. I especially enjoy the small class format and how the desired skills are clearly laid out f each level." Zoe R.
