Swim to Shore Swim School

My daughter has been taking lessons at Swim To Shore since she was 11 months old (2009). She is now 6 years old. I cannot express enough what the teachers have provided to my daughter. Not only has she learned to swim but it has helped her grow in self confidence, focus, determination, and achievement.
She began in the guppy class and is now in level 6, which will provide the stepping stone to swim in competition. Not all kids will go the direction my daughter has but know this, what they learn about themselves and the emotional maturity they earn, will be satisfaction to any parent and their child as part of their path to adolescents.
I cannot say enough of the staff for all the support, kindness and professionalism. I don’t find many businesses that provide this much care to their clients. Thank you again to all staff and see you this week!

Both my kids go to swim to shore. My daughter started at about 3 and is now 5 ½ and is an amazing swimmer. She can do laps across the pool and is going to be just fine if she ever falls in goodness forbid. My son is 2 and has been going consistently for about a year. He’s a little sillier because of his age but can push off and float and get to the side. Because he’s fearless I felt it was very important to know water safety which is being accomplished. I have been to a few different swim schools and this is by far my favorite. I feel like we are part of the swim to school family and it is such a loving warm family.

My daughter attended Swim to Shore for several years and progressed from the mommy and me classes to full completion and mastery of major swim stokes and timed endurance. Upon completion of the program, she was accepted into a local swim team. I found the staff and coaches at Swim to Shore to be professional, well informed, patient, and encouraging with my daughter and other swimmers. The owner (Casie Shore) and her coaches are current in the instruction and training methods for beginning to advanced swimmers. Casie attended National Swim conferences from which she would obtain the latest instructional and safety information and then incorporate new materials and coaching methods into her program. My daughter and I loved her coaches and the family friendly and comfortable atmosphere of Swim to Shore. My daughter still likes to drop in and visit the coaches and staff! I highly recommend the Swim to Shore program and the marvelous staff and coaches.

We chose Swim to Shore for our older, already swimming daughter. She’s interested in swimming competitively, and wanted to feel comfortable with strokes. We were thrilled with her instructor as well as the quality of the lessons. She was pushed and encouraged in equal measure. I’ve also seen the instruction with the younger children, and the instructors are unfailingly patient and well-​trained. I know swim instruction can save lives, and I have recommended Swim to Shore to numerous families, and will continue to do so.

For $ 1 a minute I expect more. I decided to begin swim classes with 1 year old daughter to get her comfortable in the water. They charge a monthly fee of $ 68 for parent and me classes, which breaks down to $ 17 an hour and our classes are 20 minutes. If you cannot make a session you have to go to an open class which seem to be mid week at 6:20 and my daughter goes to sleep at 7 so needless to say it did not work out. We paid our monthly fee for March and only received 3 classes this month because our class is on Saturday and Sunday is a holiday. Also when you want to discontinue classes you have to fill out a form 30 days before leaving. The one positive thing was our instructor Miss Bri but if she wasn’t there it was not worth our time or money because other fill in instructors were not comparable.

We had a great experience! We enrolled our daughter in the parent/​child class and she absolutely loved it. They did a great job helping us get her comfortable in the water. Now that she’s old enough we are enrolling her in the semi-​private lessons, so she can continue learning water safety. She can’t wait!

I went yesterday for the guppy class (mommy and me), and I absolutely loved it ! The staff was so helpful and babies instructor was amazing! I am recommending to all of my friends! My daughter is 4 months old and didn’t cry not once and I am excited to see her grow and progress in these classes!

This school and staff are amazing. My 5 & 8 year old daughters are learning to swim and they are having a great time. I highly recommend this school for teaching your young ones in a safe and fun manner.

The teachers here are great, and the atmosphere is very nice as well and the whole facility is clean, even the bathroom.
The only real downfall that I have had with this swim school, is that the activities they do are ALWAYS the same. I have taken my daughter here since she was 4 months old, she is now almost 9 months.
The program is very much the same to this day as it was the day we started. The activities are the same, the songs are the same and the order of them is all the same.
You can easily do this in a bathtub at home without paying the mighty price.
I would also like to warn you, it states that this program can be started at 4 months old. Which I did with my daughter. But the activities are WAY to advanced for my even 9 month old.
I would appreciate it if you didn’t advertise 4 months of age, if my child can’t yet throw a ball into a bin, can’t yet jump into the pool, and can’t yet grasp the idea of peddling feet and arms.
I think the activities should be a lot more age appropriate. Maybe start a different class for toddlers? And make baby activities in your baby class?
Also the material never progresses. Say for example your child is a CHAMP at kicking. It doesn’t matter they will continue to make him practicing kicking.
I don’t think we will be staying forever, it is just way to boring.

Great swim school. I know everyone shares this pool but it keeps parents like me in check with all of our kids. I have one kid in the parent-​baby swim class and another that’s doing semi-​private swim lessons. Having them in the same pool allows me to keep an eye on both. My husband and I take turns going in with my daughter for the parent-​baby swim lessons. It’s cute and my daughter learned to float on her back by herself by 21 months by taking this class. It makes me feel better about her being by pools.
My older daughter loves the pool and she can float, jump in the pool without fear and has even swam about 2 feet on her own. I love seeing my kids enjoy the water so much and this school has done that for them.

we’re going on 3 months here with our 2 and 4 year olds. they had both previously had lessons at another swim school, but after not being happy with their progress, we decided to try swim to shore. i’ll start with our youngest– our 2 year old started out in the parent and me class, which seemed pretty typical… it’s just focused on trying to get the littles comfortable with the water and the parents comfortable with working with their child. no complaints. however, because of our 2 year olds personality and learning style, we thought he would do better in private lessons so we’ve since switched him (today was his second lesson). he has done amazingly well. i am very happy with the way the instructor structures the lessons and how things are introduced to him. i couldn’t believe it when his instructor had him jumping into the middle of the pool and flipping over to his back, floating until he reached the wall today. that skill alone is exactly why i have my kids in swim.
my 4 year old is in semi-​private lessons. it’s never been more than him and another child. they take turns by riding on the instructor’s back. the time is evenly split and i think that having another child with him actually helps to scale his learning. he’s a little bit of a slower learner than his brother, but the instructor keeps him moving along on new skills every class and has made sure to keep him comfortable and feeling safe.
at the end of each class, the instructors give a breakdown of how they did and what they will be working on– super helpful. it’s not just idle time being spent and the instructors are really good about constantly evaluating what each kid needs. and my kids favorite part? they get a little reward after each lesson (a seashell, bracelet, tattoo or sticker). i’ve got three kids and know how invaluable bribery is ;}
i’m very pleased with the focus on safety and teaching the littles what to do in case they fall in. we’ve got way too many pools around us to forgo this skill.

I came here for the first time with my 10 month son. This was his first time in the water and he was apprehensive. The instructor was young and did not appear to know how to handle my son who was crying and scared to go under water. He would be fine until she would instruct us to go under water and she kept doing it over and over again! I work with kids and I know of a child is fearful of something I would introduce it to them slowly especially if they are crying and scared but maybe that isn’t their philosophy. Too bad because I was looking forward to an experienced swim school.

Love this swim school! My son started three weeks ago and has already learned so much. He went to noonans and didnt learn anyting in the two months he was there. His teacher talks with me after each class to let me know how he did. If you want your child at a swim school where they will learn something send them here.

This is really fun school. We all love it. Water is really warm and instructors are nice. Class is only 20 min but it’s enough for little ones. Swimming pool is a bit small but they make it work somehow. We been coming here for a few month and I see great progress with my child.

I’ve been on the lookout for a legitimate swim school for my baby girl for a while now and I’m so glad I found this place! We enrolled in the Guppy Class (basically Mommy & Me) and not only is she enjoying the class, I am too! I checked out their website, called for information and visited the facility before making a decision. I felt satisfied with everything I saw and how my questions were entertained. I started my daughter when she was 5 ½ months old and after two classes her progress has been remarkable. Their method of teaching babies is through songs and repetition. Teacher Tiffany is wonderful with babies and summarizes each one’s progress after class. We go once a week for $ 65 per month and the session is about 30 minutes. So far there are three of us in the class every Tuesday at twelve noon. The pool is an indoor pool that is heated at a very comfortable temperature. Babies must wear swim diapers in the pool. You can either buy them on your own or but it at their little retail area. The brand that they sell is called iPlay and they have pretty cute designs. They have changing areas and little cubby cabinets for storing your bags. If you don’t have anyone with you it’s best to bring your car seat inside so you can place your baby there while you change.
The school is located in a shopping plaza with ample parking. It’s a bit far from our place in Corona but it doesn’t feel that way because I just take the freeway all the way and there’s hardly any traffic. After class we like to eat at Noodle Land a few doors down. My baby gets so tired after class that she sleeps for a long time. I hope going regularly will cultivate her love of the water and encourage her to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle at a young age.

This is so great for my baby daughter — the instructor Daniel is so patient and careful. My daughter just loves going to class every week. She is learning the swim survival techniques and loves the water.

My toddler LOVES her teacher Miss Katie and has made an incredible amount of progress in just two months. She looks forward to going to her lesson each week and spends the rest of the week talking about how fun it was :)
Update: My daughter accidentally fell in the pool after 9 months of lessons and was able to get on her back and float to the side! She was so scared but her lessons with Miss Katie proved to have definitely paid off.

Their vision and commitment is to grow their Swim to Shore family by delivering an outstanding swim experience that touches lives and nurtures the spirit of everyone! Great place.

My daughter has been taking swim classes for the past two years. This school has done an outstanding job. I would recommend for all parents to take their children here.

When we began looking at putting our oldest in swim lessons, Swim to Shore came highly recommended! We weren’t sure we wanted to commit to driving to Murrieta from our home in Hemet but after our first lesson we were convinced that it was worth the drive! The instructors are very knowledgeable & know when to push a child beyond their comfort zone and when to back off. Our oldest was very timid in the water and at first wouldn’t put her face in… and within a year she was deemed «water safe» by passing her float test.
The best aspects of Swim to Shore is the focus on water safety by going over pool rules at every lesson and the float test where kids jump into the water fully clothed {including shoes} and make their way to the edge without any assistance.
I recommend Swim to Shore to all my friends & assure my friends that live in Hemet that it is well worth the drive!
