Swim Lessons for Infants, Kids, & Teenagers

OUR MISSION

At Beard Swim Co. we believe the ability to swim is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. Our goal is to provide our swimmers with the proficiency and confidence needed to safely immerse themselves in the aquatic environments and activities they will encounter throughout life. Our founder and director, 7-Time Olympic Medalist Amanda Beard, trains each of our swim instructors thoroughly with an emphasis on safety and customer service that is tailored to meet the needs of small classes and the individual. Swimming is our life and we want it to be a part of yours!

ABOUT US

We offer swim lessons and weekly swim clinics for all ages and skill levels. Located in Gig Harbor, WA our team is trained to teach infants, toddlers, teenagers, and adults. Whether you live in Gig Harbor or nearby Tacoma, we would love to help you or your swimmer develop as a swimmer.

GROUP SWIM LESSONS

From a swimmer’s first time underwater to their first time on the block, the different levels of our Group Lessons offer something for everyone and are the foundation of the Beard Swim Co. curriculum. We believe in maintaining an instructor to swimmer ratio of 1:4 or smaller to reduce swimmer stress and help increase skill retention. Technique is always emphasized but never introduced without a splash of fun as play and competition are fundamental to growth. 

$35 / class (m-f) | $37 / class (s-s)

PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS

For those seeking a more private swim instruction that caters to the specific abilities and needs of the individual, our private swim lessons are an excellent choice. Younger swimmers who take private lessons are usually able to play independently sooner and almost all children who take private lessons will advance through our skill levels faster. We also recommend a 1:1 instructor to swimmer ratio to adults with little or no swimming skills and for parents of younger (babies, toddlers, children) swimmers who prefer not to enter the water with their child during the first three levels of the Beard Swim Co. curriculum. These personalized lessons with private swim teachers are ideal for infants, toddlers, teenagers or older swimmers who learn best with individual attention
