About KidSwim

At KidSwim we believe the water experience begins in infancy and can be incorporated for life. Our Three Phases method introduces them to the water in a benevolent way; building trust with the instructor, keeping them engaged with games and toys, and incorporating skills that enhance technique and create water safety.

KidSwim was founded in 2001 by Lisa Cook, a life-long swimmer and experienced teacher whose desire is for every child to share her love of the water. KidSwim's private lessons are held at your pool. Our instructors teach on the Westside, from Hancock Park to Pacific Palisades, including Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Cheviot Hills, Beverlywood and Westwood, as well as in the San Fernando Valley. KidSwim's program is now in the Southbay and Orange County areas. We work with children of all ages and abilities, including children with special needs.

At KidSwim, we believe having fun is the most important part of our process, because having fun facilitates your child’s mastery of their water skills and increases their desire to play in the water, outweighing any hesitation or fear. Your child will keep coming back for more until they arrive at a level where they are swimming joyfully and skillfully on their own.

KidSwim’s instructors are certified and bonded, and trained in KidSwim's Three Phases method. Click here for more information on KidSwim’s classes and rates, how to sign up and KidSwim’s instructors.
