Alaska's Only Private
Swim School
About Us


At Swim Like a Fish we believe in not only teaching basic skills but in building strong, confident lifelong
swimmers! Our beginner program is specifically designed to teach babies, children and adults to swim.
Students range in age from 3 months to 81 years young!
Our entire facility is designed to put the beginning swimmer at ease. Our small, warm water pools help
student’s master small tasks, building confidence and comfort in the water.
The Swim Like a Fish instructors are second to none using patience, encouragement and positive
reinforcement to develop confident happy swimmers.
Advanced students are right at home at Swim Like a Fish. We work on rhythmic breathing, floating and
move on to competitive strokes. Swim team kids often come to us for some one on one stroke
improvement. We can give a student a great workout swimming laps in our "Big Pool".
We are an excellent beginner program; in fact we are the best! Our whole environment is designed
specifically for the beginner student. From our environment to the warm water and air, we put the
beginner at ease.
Have you ever seen a four year old do the butterfly? How about a breast stroke? We can show you a few
students who have developed great skills that would probably lead them to future competitive swimming.
Safety is very important to us. We go over important safety skills and lessons. Here in Alaska we are
surrounded by water and we make sure to make each student aware of all conditions relating to water,
and the importance of a life jacket no matter how good a swimmer they are.
For kids under three we offer a couple of options, a parent participation class or a private lesson with the
child and instructor. I recommend the parent participation class. Children between the ages of 1 to 2 1/2
can go through some issues with stranger anxiety and separation anxiety that can make the transition
away from the parent more difficult.
We look forward to seeing your kids ……………………Swim Like A Fish.
***We are NOT an aggressive program and we will never force a child to do anything he/she is not ready
for. It is important to be patient. Some kids learn to swim in 4 lessons some in 40, we recognize that
each child is unique and learns at a different pace.
