Swim Classes We Offer

At PhD Swim School, we offer a variety of classes that cater to different age groups and swimming abilities. Our classes include:

• Infant and Children Survival Swim Lessons: These classes are designed for children crawling through age 8 who cannot swim and float independently. Our goal is to teach them how to save themselves in an aquatic accident with confidence.
