Private Swim Lessons Design For All Ages

The Palm Beach Safety Swimming Difference

At Palm Beach Safety Swimming, we go beyond teaching swimming—we build confidence, instill life-saving skills, and inspire a lifelong love for the water. Join us to give your child a strong foundation in water safety, master essential swimming techniques, develop advanced strokes, and achieve success in the pool!

Discover what sets us apart—your journey to water confidence starts here.

Expert-Led Instruction

Our lessons are led by certified, licensed, insured, and highly trained instructors with decades of combined experience. Each instructor undergoes extensive training to provide exceptional, personalized instruction. Passionate about water safety, our team is dedicated to fostering confidence, developing proper swimming strokes, teaching advanced stroke techniques, and mastering essential skills—all while ensuring a safe and supportive environment in every session.

Safe Environment

Our temperature-controlled, saltwater pool is gentler on the skin than traditional chlorine pools, making it ideal for swimmers with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema. Its soothing properties create a comfortable, safe environment perfect for year-round learning, confidence-building, and enjoyment. With fewer chemicals, it ensures a superior swimming experience for swimmers of all ages.

Customized Learning

We recognize every swimmer’s journey is unique. Whether it's an infant’s first splash, a toddler mastering their backfloat, a child gaining confidence in the pool or ocean, a young athlete preparing for swim team, or an adult refining technique, our programs are tailored to each swimmer's goals. Private lessons offer personalized attention, allowing instructors to adjust methods to the swimmer’s pace and needs. This focused approach leads to faster progress, stronger confidence, and skill mastery that group lessons can’t match.

Proven Results

From mastering water safety basics to refining advanced strokes, our swimmers gain confidence, develop life-saving skills, and foster a lifelong love for the water. Through consistent, positive coaching, structured routines with progressive milestones at every lesson, and a personalized focus on individual growth, we empower swimmers of all ages and abilities to reach their goals and excel in any aquatic environment.

Your Trusted Swim School in Boca Raton

At Palm Beach Safety Swimming, we offer year-round private swim lessons in a safe, temperature-controlled saltwater pool in East Boca Raton.

Our programs focus on swimming techniques, stroke development, and survival skills for all ages, delivered in a safe and engaging environment.

Joining us means more than learning to swim—it’s about building water confidence, self-awareness, and lifelong skills with guidance from our experienced instructors.

Dive Into the Perfect Swim Program

At Palm Beach Safety Swimming, we offer flexible programs designed to suit your needs, ensuring steady progress and water safety skills.

Please note: Palm Beach Safety Swimming’s programs are not an ISR type program nor are we a six-week course. Depending on the swimmer’s age/development, it can take approximately 6-12 months of 1x/wk swim lessons to be water safe and learn stroke development. This may sound like a long time, but with our tier 2, 20 min 1x/wk swim lessons, for example, this is less than 17 hours of swim lessons per year.

We love Palm Beach Safety Swim! My son asks every day if it’s swim lesson day! It so calm and peaceful and the environment is serene! He has only been going for 2 mths and is 4 yrs old- he can safely get himself to the side, and he can also float on his back and do the backstroke on his own!!! Thank you guys!!!

We’ve been brining our three kids to Palm Beach Safety Swimming for over a year now, and we couldn’t be happier! Our children absolutely love it. The coaches are fantastic and out of of their way to make every class as fun as possible while still focusing on important water safety skills. It’s been amazing to see how much our kids have learned, not just in water safety but also in stroke swimming. The progress they have made is incredible, and it’s all thanks to the patient and enthusiastic coaching. Highly recommend to any parent!

When we started swim lessons my 2 year old son was not very comfortable in the water. Ms. Shelbey was right there with words of encouragement and gentle guidance that made my son feel safe in swim class. Her personalized approach to every student’s different needs is what makes Shelby such an amazing instructor! My son quickly went from fear to confidence in the pool. Going to swim class became a constant request because he loved it so much! Palm Beach Safety Swimming not only teaches the basic safety techniques of getting out of a pool, but also how to actually swim in the water unassisted such as overhead strokes and kicking simultaneously. They offer many different tiers of lessons that can accommodate any schedule. Shelbey is kind, understanding, patient, and truly cares about the kids she’s instructing. We will definitely be back for lessons with our second child as soon as he’s old enough! We would recommend Palm Beach Safety Swimming to anyone considering swim lessons.
