About FOSS
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.

Unique curriculum
- Small classes with kids of similar age and ability, with consistent teachers
- Focus on fun to make learning enjoyable and faster
- Swim skills broken into clear, bite-size lessons that build on each other
- Progression towards graduation as a strong swimmer – not just passing levels

Exceptional teachers and staff

At this school
Our program: Swim Path®
Our Swim Path® program ingrains water safety instincts and muscle memory that your child will use immediately, and for life. “Find the wall” and “flip to breathe” are more than skills for the pool. They are skills for a lifetime of loving water.
Reviews
"Really impressed with the smaller class sizes and protocols due to Covid. Felt very safe going to class. "

"She absolutely loves it. She asks to go to swim class multiple times a week."

"The accommodations that were made given the uncertainty with Covid-19 were great. I appreciate the thought and care that went into the procedures. The limited classes, number of people in the pool area, mask requirements, etc. Great work. It was also great to bring back something that helped with our regular routine."

What FOSS families have to say
"12 out of 10!!! (on a scale of 1-10) Two of my children were deathly afraid of water before attending their first Foss 2-week camp. By the end of those camps, both of them not only became good swimmers... They now love the water and love to swim!!! That’s transforming. That is Awesome! I love 💗 FOSS so much!"
- Mark H.
"Hands on fantastic instructor. Lots of enthusiasm and really good with kids. "
