Programs

Warm water, certified instructors, and programs for every age – from babies to adults – across 20 convenient Mid-Atlantic locations.

KIDS FIRST Swim Schools operate year-round, providing warm-water swimming instruction in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for children – and adults alike. With 20 conveniently located facilities across the Mid-Atlantic region, our pools are consistently maintained at 90 degrees and range in depth from 2 to 5 feet, creating an ideal setting for both teaching and learning.

Each of our locations features a unique observation room with one-way glass, allowing parents to observe classes without distracting their children. We offer a variety of lesson formats – including Parent & Child, Small Group, Private, and Semi-Private options – so every swimmer receives the attention they need to succeed.

All instructors are thoroughly trained and certified by our Director of Training and Development before teaching our proprietary KIDS FIRST® / Kick FIRST® Learn to Swim System – a research-backed curriculum that differs significantly from traditional methods and has delivered exceptional results for thousands of young swimmers.

Our programs follow a convenient rolling monthly schedule, with 30-minute weekly lessons. Like music or any other skill, swimming proficiency grows with practice. That’s why we welcome families to join us for Family Swim Nights on Saturdays and Sundays – an opportunity for parents to participate in their child’s progress and growth.

From first-time bubble blowers to swimmers refining their competitive strokes, KIDS FIRST Swim Schools offer a comprehensive range of programs designed to meet each student’s unique needs and goals.
