Where we teach swimming!

At Loveland Splish Group Swim Lessons, we build confidence and teach lifelong lessons in water safety so that your child will learn to love, respect and be comfortable in any aquatic environment. Our small group program is taught by certified swim instructors.  

We teach a 3-level curriculum where swimmers learn new skills in each level and advance through at their own pace. It begins with the Beginner Level as basic as learning to do a successful submersion for five seconds and finishes with the Advanced Level, swimming 25 yards of backstroke and 25 yards of freestyle, with proper technique. Loveland Swim Club places a huge emphasis on safety.

What happens if my swimmer is at the same level for a long time? It is not uncommon for kids to spend more time in a higher-level group as they progress through the program, as the skills become more difficult. We want them to advance on their own terms so that their successful at the next level.

Do I get the same instructor every class?  We don't guarantee that your swimmer will have the same instructor for every lesson. We want your swimmer to have the opportunity to experience different teaching styles, and not force them with one instructor who they're struggling to connect with. All of our instructors are fantastic, and will do anything they can to make sure your swimmer improves and has an outstanding lesson.
