Learn to Swim
Swim Lessons are a critical resource given that drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children under the age of four. Fortunately, research shows that a toddler who participates in swim lessons reduces this risk by 88%. Children of any age can quickly benefit from learning the skills to keep themselves safe in and around water. At High Sierra Pools, we are dedicated to preventing drowning by teaching children and their families to be safer. Our goal is that every student feels confident, in and out of the pool, with memories to last a lifetime.
Safer Facilities
According to the CDC, there is no evidence that COVID-19 can spread to people through chlorinated water. High Sierra Pools can allow purpose-driven swimming to take place by following strict safety protocols in and around the pool, maintaining proper water sanitation levels and, performing frequent cleaning and sanitization, and conducting regular health checks of staff and participants.
2023 Testimonials
“My children, brand new to swimming, had an excellent experience taking swimming lessons with High Sierra Pools. The instructor was patient, kind, encouraging and firm as she slowly got my children to be comfortable in the water and to progress in swimming exercises and practice. Every lesson started right on time and went for the full specified time. I had to contact High Sierra with a question at one point and the company was responsive and pleasant in my dealings with them.”
“We took the plunge, and placed our child into his first swim lessons to see how he would do with one-on-one instruction. Little did we know, but the perfect instructor would be assigned to him — Remi. From the first lesson to the last, Remi gave it his all to show our son the basics and build on them, day-by-day. He was not only great at teaching swimming basics but was also a really great listener and adjusted continuously to things that our son was too afraid to try. With immense patience, Remi was able to help our son overcome a number of early-age fears in the water, establishing skills we can build on for years to come. Can’t speak highly enough about Remi and his dedication to teaching young children how to swim — a very important life skill. We will be requesting him in the future if he is back!”
“We have doing swim lessons with high Sierra pool for the last three year and my kids have had the pleasure of working with Remi for two of those years. He is very professional, caring, great communicating skills and makes swimming fun for the kids. My kids look forward to seeing Remi every day for swim and I’m glad we were able to request for him to be our instructor. I can’t say enough nice things about Remi and the progress my kids have made while having him as a swim instructor! I hope he comes back next year!”
Thank you so much for teaching them. You’re so good and I wish they can continue learning from you year-round.
“My kids had their first ever swim lessons with Remi of Hi Sierra Pools during the first 2 weeks of July and my kids progressed very nicely. Remi was personable and professional with my kids and they enjoyed learning from Remi.
My kids requested to have Remi again for their 2nd 2 weeks of lessons in August. They are progressing nicely so far after their first week in August.
We are very happy with Remi and we highly recommend him.”
