Our Mission

Safe Swimming for All Children

SwimKids was founded on two simple beliefs: every child deserves to learn the joy of swimming and develop a lifelong love of the water. Our mission is to bring happiness to children in every swim lesson. We are proud to offer the highest standards for safety and instructors in the nation. Whether your child is SIX MONTHS old, SIX YEARS old, or SIXTEEN, it is never too early — or too late — to begin their swimming journey with SwimKids!

Hope Floats Foundation

We are proud that our SwimKids founder Cindy Tonnesen is also the founder of Hope Floats Foundation. Cindy is hard at work to make sure all children have the opportunity to learn the lifesaving skill of swimming. When we say ALL children we mean ALL Children. SwimKids is committed to providing scholarships & swim lessons to underprivileged children through our partnership with Hope Floats Foundation.

UV Light Pool Filter
Crystal Clean
The SwimKids Safety Difference

Ten years ago, our founders had the foresight to build our swimming pools with cutting edge inline ultraviolet (UV) systems. They knew these precautions would keep the water cleaner and therefore safer. We use UV light to keep our water crystal clean. (UV light kills viruses and microorganisms that chlorine alone can’t handle, like Coronavirus, and cryptosporidium.) We believe our primary responsibility is providing safer water and clean facilities for our member families and are constantly working towards achieving this goal.

We started at SwimKids when our sweet 22 month old was only 2 months old. We tried some county classes, and they were just nowhere near the quality we felt we received at SwimKids. Our coach, Lily is the most patient and incredible person in the world. We went through a period of separation anxiety were our little didn’t want to do some exercises and she was extremely encouraging and helping in overcoming that without ever pushing our little to a level of discomfort. Our baby has learned so much through her and we’re so thankful for our experience at this location ❤️

We have been bringing our 5 year old here for months now and only have positive things ti say. They have such a great training regiment and they make it so easy to move a class time or make up. Highly recommend

Great place for beginners to learn and start loving water in a very constructive learning process. My 3 yr who used to fear water, now asks for swimming and beach everyday. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great swim program.


SwimKids means locals serving locals
SwimKids began with a backyard pool. We kept our business local ever since.
