About this class
SafeSplash feels like the kind of swim school that really pays attention to where your kiddo is at - they're big on tracking progress and actually telling you about it, which is refreshing since some places just throw kids in the water and hope for the best. They do these "Splash-N-Tell" sessions where your little one gets to show off what they've learned, and honestly, kids eat that stuff up because they love having an audience for their new skills. What I appreciate is that they seem to get that every kid learns differently and at their own pace, so there's less of that pressure to keep up with the class overachiever. The whole safety-first thing isn't just marketing speak either - they really do focus on actual water safety skills that could save your child's life, not just making them look like they can swim. Because at the end of the day, we all just want our kids to be safe around water and maybe not have a meltdown every time bath time rolls around.
Families rave about how their little ones are growing into confident swimmers, with smiles that say it all! Don't be surprised if your kiddo comes home excited to show off their new skills!

We have 2 kids (Age 7 and 5) who have taken group and private lessons here since 2020. Staff are very skilled and knowledgeable. Facility is very clean and newly updated. First rate operation!

Don’t expect to make progress very quickly here, but if you’re looking for something to do on the weekends with your little one, this is a great option. They are super professional and the place is very clean. We loved our instructor, but I think you’re experience really depends on them.

We’ve been coming to SafeSplash for about a year and absolutely love it! We have been very impressed with expertise of the instructors and the class structure. Our daughter is 5yo and has become a great little swimmer. We highly recommend this swim school to kids of all ages and skill level! Friendly and patient staff, flexible make-ups, programming that focuses on skill progress, small class size, and the BEST of the best swim instructors are some of the reasons why we love it here!

I had a great experience at SafeSplash. Devon was extremely knowledgeable, kind, patient, and professional. In my first session, I’ve already received a lot of useful information and drills that I can practice, to help me progress to the next stage. If you’re looking to learn how to swim or improve your current swimming abilities, I would highly recommend giving SafeSplash a try!! I am already signed up for my next lesson and looking forward to becoming a much better swimmer.

I have a 10-year old that does SwimLabs and a 4-year old that takes lessons at Safe Splash, and I highly recommend both! The instructors are amazing, and my kids absolutely love it. Amy A. is the best - she runs an amazing organization. Shout out to Will as well for helping my son fine tune his strokes and cut time!

We’re now four lessons in with Gretchen in Adaptive Aquatics private lessons for our 4-year-old son with ASD (Level 2, non-verbal), and I’m still in awe of her. From day one, it was clear she’s phenomenal at what she does, her smile says it all, and you can tell she genuinely loves helping kids thrive in the water. Our son, Maverick, trusted her instantly, which is no small thing. He’s always loved water, but before Gretchen, he never kept goggles on or held his breath to go under. In the last five minutes of his very first lesson, he picked up his goggles and wanted to wear them. Gretchen told me, “In two months, I hope to have him wearing goggles, holding his breath, and putting his face in the water.” By lesson two, he was doing all three! Now, four lessons in, he’s grown so much more confident. One day he came in mentally exhausted, and Gretchen read his cues perfectly, she adapted, kept him engaged, and turned what could’ve been a tough day into a fun, productive one. She’s patient, encouraging, and knows exactly how to meet him where he’s at. We are beyond grateful for her. The progress Maverick has made in just a few weeks is incredible. Gretchen is truly one of a kind, and we couldn’t recommend her enough! 💙

We first started with SafeSplash over a year ago with our oldest son Hudson. He started in a toddler transition class but had a really hard time adjusting. The staff and coaches were so understanding and patient with him and us! They allowed us to ease him into swimming with the coaches alone by allowing one is use to swim with him for a few sessions. Now he loves going into swim class! He is still nervous about going under water but his coach Shelby is very kind and patient with him and is helping him take baby steps in the right direction! Our younger twins loved water from early on but were scared to swim with people they didn’t know. It didn’t take long for them to warm up to all the amazing coaches! While they were adjusting we had one kiddo with Shelby and one with Ella. We have been able to put them in a class together thanks for the staff’s flexibility and both of them have flourished and are making so much progress working with Ella!! You can tell they love it from the smile on their faces!

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SafeSplash and especially Mr. Bob. He has taken my big family under his swim fins and taught them how not just to swim but to be safe and confident in the water. Absolutely the best gift a family can have is safe swimmers. Thank you so much!!

I have been taking my boys to SafeSplash for just a few months, and I am extremely impressed at the progress they've made! This is not the first time they have taken swimming lessons, but it is the first time where I feel confident in what they are learning. Both Coach Amy and Coach Shelby (and I'm sure all of the other coaches) are very attentive in their time with each child. I highly recommend taking your kids here! For me, it's not about developing Olympic skills (although that would be a fun bonus); it's about learning the skills to be very safe in the water. Thank you Coach Amy and Coach Shelby!!

Our son has been in swim lessons at safe splash springhurst since he was 8 months old. He’s loved every minute of it and the skills he’s learning are invaluable. He knows how to be safe around water and it has been so fun to watch his fearlessness at the lake, the pool, and the beach. He has improved his fine motor and listening skills as a result of these lessons too. Most importantly, I have peace of mind knowing he has these life-saving skills. The coaches are wonderful with the kids. We look forward to swim lessons every week!
