Kids Swimming Lessons for Every Level

ISWIM kids swimming lessons are available at selected pools across Burnaby, Abbotsford and Surrey. Choose a location to view current programs, schedules and registration options for that facility.

Our kids group swimming lessons are generally designed for children ages six and older. In some cases, we may accept a younger child if they are physically ready, comfortable participating in a group environment and able to follow the instructor’s directions. Placement is considered individually, and our team may recommend an assessment or trial lesson before registration.

No. Our Bronze level is designed for beginners who are still developing water confidence, breath control, balance and independent movement. Children with previous swimming experience may be placed in Silver or Gold following an assessment.

Choose the level that most closely matches your child’s current abilities. Bronze develops confident, independent swimming. Silver introduces all four competitive strokes, while Gold focuses on advanced technique and endurance. Our coaches can assess your child and recommend the most appropriate group.

Group size depends on the swimmers’ level and ability. Beginner Bronze groups typically have up to five children per instructor. Silver groups usually have up to seven swimmers per instructor, while advanced Gold groups may have up to eight. These ratios allow beginners to receive closer support while more independent swimmers train effectively as a group.

Please bring a swimsuit, towel, swimming goggles and a reusable water bottle. A swim cap is recommended for children with longer hair. iSWIM provides the training equipment required during the lesson.

Swimmers should bring a swimsuit, goggles, swim cap, towel and water bottle. Any additional program-specific information will be provided after registration.
