Management

Canyon Swim School is uniquely known for its incredible, proven teaching techniques and comfortable learning environment. With water temperatures above 90 degrees, an ideal size teaching pool, and well-trained knowledgeable instructors, Canyon Swim School ranks as one of the top Swim Schools in the Bay Area. It is also the oldest swim school and was established in 1951.

The owners, Fred and Bill Brown, have been teaching since 1956 and have over 100 years of teaching and coaching experience combined. The focus of their swim school is to provide children and adults with the tools needed to develop basic swimming skills, learn breath control, have a comfortable and enjoyable water experience, and most importantly, acquire the knowledge and skills to be water-safe. The staff at Canyon Swim School is trained by Fred and Bill so that the students will be provided with consistent instruction. Canyon uses a badge award system with 16 levels of progression for fast, efficient learning. All classes are grouped by age and ability. We have small student/teacher ratios….4:1 and 5:1, thus providing students with an optimal learning environment.

Please carefully review the following policies for 2013.

We look forward to seeing you this season.
