Stamford Swim School for Kids

Our youth swimming lessons in Stamford are designed around building a lifetime of enjoyment and safety in the water. The professional coaches at Chelsea Piers Connecticut will guide your child with carefully-curated instruction, including introductory water safety, learn-to-swim, and mastering the four competitive strokes.

Our Curriculum

Our swim curriculum follows three main stages that grow with your child. Babies start with Water Discovery, building comfort and safety in the pool alongside a parent. As children grow, they progress into becoming Independent Swimmers, learning essential skills for confidence and control in the water. Finally, in Stroke Development, swimmers refine technique, build endurance, and prepare for lifelong swimming success.
