Youth Swim Classes
With classes tailored for children as young as 6 months, it is never too soon to introduce your kids to the water. Learn more about choosing the right class for your child.
Our Philosophy
Our focus is water safety and confidence. Our teachers are trained and certified in the SSI (Swim Schools International) methodology, ensuring a consistent and effective learning environment.
Ocean First swimmers quickly develop skills, overcome fears, and build confidence. Our certified instructors use the Swim Schools International (SSI) methodology, focusing on individual progress rather than strict timelines. Swimmers advance when they're ready, not just when the class is. With a state-of-the-art facility, friendly staff, small class sizes, and flexible scheduling, we create an engaging environment where swimmers gain confidence and have fun.
Danielle feels so comfortable with her teachers and I am amazed at her progress in the past six months! She has gone from not wanting to put her face in the water to jumping in and floating unassisted. The office staff are efficient and friendly. Lauren and the instructors are friendly and professional at all times. I heartily recommend the Swim School at every opportunity!

Learning Doesn't Stop When Class Is Over
At the Ocean First Swim School, our commitment to education doesn't stop at swim lessons. We appreciate all aspects of the underwater world and love bringing our other passions into the fold, such as in our Marine Science Mini Camp. Kids ages 4-8 explore questions about our amazing ocean and its inhabitants through hands-on activities, storytelling, and games before moving into the pool to develop their swim techniques in our week-long intensive Marine Science Mini Camp.
Swim Club is a class for Intermediate and Advanced level students to work on competitive swimming techniques, endurance, and speed. This class is perfect for students who are preparing to join a swim team, desiring a challenging workout, or simply seeking more time to have fun in the water!
Ocean First Swim School is proud to be an official service partner for Boulder's new PLAYpass program. PLAYpass provides eligible youth with up to $250 towards participation in approved sports and recreation programs.
