We’re taking action to ensure a safer environment for families and staff that goes beyond the traditional safety standards you would expect at our schools and in our well maintained pools.
Upon opening, our Safety Standards will include staff health screenings, social distancing throughout the building, heightened and repetitious cleaning/disinfection and more. Preparation and planning from state and health department guidelines create safer environments for our families and employees. Please read our full Safety First plan below.

Foss Swim School: The science of swimming and the art of learning.
Jon and Susan Foss founded Foss Swim School in 1993 to teach swimming as child enrichment – a foundation for a lifetime of fun, safety, and physical, social, and mental benefits.
Laughter is at the heart of our unique curriculum, and graduation reflects confidence and mastery.
Learning to swim is about more than techniques. It’s also about learning to love water. For kids, so they are excited to learn swimming. For parents, who will see their confidence rise around water. We’re excited to bring our proven approach, used to teach hundreds of thousands of swimmers since 1993, to you.
