Safe Splash Swim School-Long Beach

My 3 ½ year old son has been going to SafeSplash for swimming lessons for the past 2 weeks and we both couldn’t be happier. SafeSplash Swim School uses the heated, indoor swimming pool located inside 24hr Fitness. You also get to take advantage of the free towel service available.
Aaron, the general manager is great at scheduling the lesson around your schedule. The first lesson is free and I highly suggest you take advantage of this offer. Give it a try and see for yourself how valuable these lessons are for your kiddos.
What I appreciate about this swim school is how each class has a maximum of 4 students per 1 instructor and classes last 30 minutes. They don’t waste time singing songs, but they use the entire 30 minute lesson to teach students the life skill of swimming, in a fun environment.
Before we started class, the one thing Silas was adamant about was blowing bubbles. He did not want to blow bubbles. But, little did he know, with the encouragement of his patient, and friendly swim instructor Ms. Melissa, she calmly encouraged Silas to overcome his fear and he was blowing bubbles at the end of his first lesson. It was a proud moment for all of us.
Ms. Melissa (and the other instructors) use various water gear, such as rings, floaters, flippers, and more to teach different concepts. She gives Silas the confidence he needs to over come his fears and to take his swimming skill to the next level.
The second week we went Silas was nervous and hesitant to get in the water. I was completely shocked because he had so much fun the prior week. But, again Ms Melissa calmly encouraged Silas to get in the water little by little. It started with standing in the water, then sitting down, then slowly inching his way in. At the end of the lesson, I couldn’t get him out of the water! He loved it so much and had a blast.
Currently, Silas is leaping off the stairs and diving towards Ms. Melissa. He’s picking up rings underwater, which encourages him to get his head wet, blowing bubbles, and much more. I’m excited to see how he progresses for week 3 and 4.
