WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
S J
We have tried every type of swimming classes: group lessons with City of Burnaby and Pedalheads, private lessons with City of Burnaby and Propel, and none compare to iSwim. I don’t know how I missed this swim school in my search but am I ever glad I found it.
iSwim does a few things differently than other swim schools. They use short fins and hand paddles, which I have never seen used anywhere else. Coaches are also on deck which allows them to see students and correct any issues with technique. The coaches are encouraging and dedicated. The lesson is one hour long and the coaches work the students the full hour; no slacking on anyones part. It’s so rare to see this type of exceptional work ethic and it translates to the students levelling up themselves
My daughter failed 6 times (same class) when she took swimming lessons at a rec centre. I literally cried when they told me to re-register her, we both felt defeated but learning to swim is a non-negotiable for us. My friend told me about ISWIM and we decided to join last summer. My daughter learned quickly with the instruction and was able to swim independently and was able to enjoy the rest of her summer going swimming at our various pools and had the best time! We are currently in the Spring camp and within the first day, I can already see improvement in her technique and confidence. We highly recommend ISWIM to people especially those who have not found rec centre swimming lessons successful.

ISWIM LEVELS
BRONZE LEVEL
No prior swimming skills are required to join our Bronze Level. The only prerequisite is that participants feel comfortable putting their heads in the water. If you or your child feels uneasy, we recommend taking a few private swim lessons before joining a group. This level aligns with Red Cross Level SK 1-4 and Swim for Life Level Swimmer 1-4.
SILVER LEVEL
To join our Silver Level, participants must be able to swim without floaties for approximately 20 meters using dolphin kick, breaststroke, and flutter kick. This level corresponds to Red Cross Level SK 5-10 and Swim for Life Level Swimmer 5-10.
GOLD LEVEL
Our Gold Level is perfect for swimmers who can confidently swim all four strokes—butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle—and are looking to refine their technique and build endurance.
