About

Sherman Swim School has taught over 40,000 students to swim since 1961. Swim lessons are offered June though early Fall.

We believe private lesson instruction is the best way to accommodate the individual needs of each student. Our teachers enjoy working with children and receive extensive in-water training. We have created an ideal learning environment by providing a combination of one-on-one instruction, patient, encouraging teachers, and comfortable warm water. Our goal is not only to teach your child to swim, but to build a strong foundation for a safe and happy swimmer. We provide a small, quality lesson program with a maximum of four instructors, which allows plenty of room in the pool. Lessons are offered from June through early Fall in the afternoons.

” Top notch swim school – excellently trained staff and a wonderful place to send your kids.”

” My six-year-old daughter went from not wanting to put her head in the water to enjoying and doing well at her first swim team race in less than a year… whoa. She really looked up to her teacher, who kindly and playfully guided my daughter into having a great relationship with water, and gave her some invaluable confidence with it as well. I’m really grateful.“

” THE BEST!!!! We absolutely love Sherman Swim School school both our kids are loving their private lessons, which is difficult to find at other swim schools (most in the area are semi-private). They are learning to swim in a positive loving environment and most importantly are becoming water safe. The instructors are taught the same methods for teaching from the owner Steve, so each instructor has the same ways of teaching. With any instructor it may take a few sessions to find one that clicks best with your child. We love supporting a local swim school and as someone who learned to dive from Steve I can assure you his attention to detail, love and care that is put into his programs, and meticulous grooming of the pools and facilities are top notch! “
