Bowler Swim School

Our Story

Bowler Swim School was born from a simple desire to share the joy of swimming. Kelsie Bowler, our founder, was looking for a fun and fulfilling way to spend her summer break when she realized her passion for swimming could bring joy to others. She began teaching lessons in her family's pool, quickly noticing the shortcomings of other programs and recognizing the need for a different approach. Kelsie wanted to empower children with the confidence and skills to be safe and independent in the water, allowing them to fully enjoy all the aquatic adventures summer and life have to offer.

Driven by this vision, Bowler Swim School was established, focusing on creating a positive and impactful learning experience for every student. From our humble beginnings in a backyard pool, we've grown to offer a range of services, all committed to nurturing a love for swimming while equipping students with the essential life-saving skills.

Our Services

We understand that everyone learns differently and has unique swimming goals. That's why we offer a customizable approach to swimming lessons, catering to a variety of needs and schedules. Our core services include:

• Private & Semi-Private Swim Lessons: Our lessons prioritize individualized attention. With a one-on-one student-to-teacher ratio in private lessons or a personalized small group experience in semi-private lessons, each student receives tailored instruction and feedback to maximize their progress.

• Pre-Swim Team: We recognize the thrill and camaraderie that swim team brings. Our pre-swim team program prepares children for the demands and excitement of competitive swimming. We build a strong foundation of technique, endurance, and confidence, setting them up for success in their swim team journey.
• Lifeguards for Hire: Safety is paramount. Our certified lifeguard team provides reliable and attentive lifeguarding services for events, pool parties, and private settings, ensuring a fun and secure environment for everyone.

Our Curriculum: Safety First, Confidence Always

At Bowler Swim School, our curriculum is designed around a core principle: water safety. We prioritize teaching our students essential survival skills, ensuring they feel confident and secure in any aquatic environment.

Our program progresses through a structured sequence:

• Water Comfort & Safety: First and foremost, we build a foundation of comfort and familiarize students with the water through fun and playful activities.
• Back Float & Roll: Students learn the invaluable skill of floating on their back, gaining a sense of security and the ability to rest while in the water. They also practice rolling onto their backs, a crucial technique for regaining breath and safety.
• Front Crawl & Freestyle: After mastering foundational skills, students progress to learning the front crawl (freestyle)stroke, focusing on proper technique and building their endurance.
• Competitive Strokes: We introduce other competitive strokes, expanding our students' skill sets and preparing them for potential involvement in swim teams.

Our Culture: A Family of Swimmers

Bowler Swim School is more than just swim lessons; it's a community. We strive to create a warm, welcoming, and encouraging environment where students feel valued and supported. Our family-run atmosphere extends to every student and their family, fostering a sense of belonging and shared passion for swimming.

We celebrate every milestone, big or small, recognizing and praising each student's progress. Our instructors build positive relationships with each child, instilling confidence and making learning fun. We believe that a love of swimming is a gift that lasts a lifetime, and we're dedicated to nurturing that joy within every student who joins our swim school family.
