From bubbles to the butterfly, Chandler Aquatics believes that swimming is a life skill and that the best route towards lifelong water safety is learning how to swim correctly and confidently. Chandler Aquatics offers swim lessons throughout the year at its aquatic centers and pools.

First Day and Beyond
Please try to show up 10-15 minutes early on your first day to expedite the check-in process
On the first day of class, swimmers will check in to their registered group. Swim and Stroke School students will be separated into smaller groups. Chandler Aquatics skilled instructors will do water assessments with each student, and assign them to a class with students of similar swimming abilities. Swimmers will continue the rest of the session in their designated class.
Introduce infants and toddlers to the water in this fun and interactive session! Parents/guardians must accompany their child in the water and will learn water safety basics alongside their swimmer. Parents or guardians are taught effective techniques to teach their children how to float, submerge, move in the water, roll over, and breathe through songs and activities.
Swim & Stroke School is designed for swimmers of all skill levels- from beginners to seasoned swimmers. Participants will be grouped based on a swim evaluation that will take place on the first day of class.
Swim school will lay the foundation of swimming and safety skills, focusing on self-rescue skills.
Stroke school is designed for swimmers of more advanced swimming ability and develops effective technique and endurance for freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke.
Note: For non-swimmers placed in swim school, a Coast Guard-approved life jacket is recommended as a teaching resource.
