Julie's Swim School

Julie's Swim School is a year-round, indoor/outdoor swim program serving families in Hudsonville, Zeeland, Allendale, and Caledonia, Michigan. For over 24 years, Julie, our lead instructor, has been passionate about teaching children of all ages and abilities to swim. From toddlers to adults, beginners to advanced swimmers, we offer a supportive and enriching environment where everyone can learn and grow.

We believe that continuous swimming instruction is key to helping children retain knowledge and build confidence in the water. Our month-by-month programs allow families to make swimming a consistent part of their child's life, regardless of the season. By integrating water safety tips into every lesson, we empower children to confidently navigate aquatic environments and stay safe around water.

Our Programs

At Julie's Swim School, we offer a variety of programs designed to meet the unique needs of each swimmer.

Jump Start Program

The Jump Start Program is perfect for families who require accelerated learning for their children, perhaps in preparation for a vacation or a family swim outing. It's also ideal for swimmer's who are new to swimming or who might feel a little hesitant in the water. This intensive three-day program takes place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and is structured to provide the foundational skills needed for greater swimming confidence. We recommend that children who are completely new to swimming or who are nervous about being in the water attend two consecutive Jump Start sessions for the best learning experience. Enroll your child in this program to get them started on a confident swimming journey.

Monthly Maintenance Program

The Monthly Maintenance Program ensures that children continue to build upon their swimming skills throughout the year. This program is designed for children who have already had some swimming lessons and can comfortably swim 5-6 feet on their own.

A two-month commitment is required to enroll in the Monthly Maintenance Program, with tuition payable in full at the time of registration. After the initial two months, tuition is due on the first of each month on a month-to-month basis. Continuous weekly lessons are offered, ensuring a consistent learning environment.

Safety is Paramount

Our commitment to water safety extends beyond basic swimming skills. We incorporate water safety tips into every lesson, teaching children how to recognize potential hazards, react appropriately in emergencies, and make responsible decisions around water. At Julie's Swim School, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn how to swim confidently and safely.

A Legacy of Learning

For over 24 years, Julie has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of swimming. She understands the importance of creating a positive and encouraging learning environment where each child can thrive. Our program emphasizes individualized attention, fun, and age-appropriate techniques to make swimming a truly enjoyable experience for everyone.
