Overview
We're Passionate About the Swimming Experience
At Hillside, we believe swimming is more than just a sport or hobby – it’s a lifelong activity and a vital life-saving skill. Whether you’re just learning to swim, gliding through the water for leisure, or training to achieve personal goals, we’re dedicated to helping every swimmer succeed.
Our passion for the swimming experience extends beyond the pool. We value safety, growth, and fun for swimmers of all ages and skill levels.Through personalized lessons, we aim to inspire confidence and cultivate a lifelong appreciation for swimming. Dive in with us, and discover how we can help make every swim your best one yet!
We specialize in private one-on-one swim lessons, ensuring each swimmer receives undivided attention throughout their entire session. Instead of waiting on the wall for others to practice, you (we work with lots of adults!) or your child will be the primary focus. During the first lesson, our instructor will assess your or your child’s abilities and tailor the instruction accordingly. We treat every swimmer as an individual, making each lesson fun while emphasizing water safety and skill development!

Hear From Our Happy Swimmers
Joining the Baby-N-Me class has been such a special experience for me and my little one. The songs and gentle activities make the water fun and inviting, and the instructors are so patient with us. Watching my baby giggle and splash has been a joy, and I love that we’re building water confidence together. Highly recommend this class for any new parent!

Our son has special needs, and finding the right swim program was challenging. Hillside’s Adaptive Swimming lessons have been a game-changer. The instructors are knowledgeable and compassionate, creating a safe environment where our son has thrived. His confidence and skills have improved tremendously. We’re so grateful for this program.

As an adult who never learned to swim, I was nervous about starting lessons. Hillside’s private sessions were exactly what I needed. The instructors were understanding and tailored each lesson to my pace. Now, I feel confident in the water and even enjoy swimming as a form of exercise. It’s never too late to learn!
