Learn to Swim in Marin
Swimming is more than a sport, it’s a lifelong skill that builds safety, confidence, and resilience in and out of the water. At Protea Swim Company, our learn-to-swim program is designed to guide children from their very first water experiences to becoming capable, confident swimmers.
We specialize in in-water instruction for infants and young children, building comfort, trust, and essential survival skills before progressing toward freestyle, backstroke, and beyond. Lessons are built around structured progressions, ensuring every swimmer learns at their own pace in a safe, encouraging environment.
The Challenge Parents Face
Many swim schools focus on large group classes that move children through a rigid curriculum. For some kids, this means not enough attention to overcome fear or develop water safety skills. For others, it means they aren’t challenged to their full potential. Parents are left frustrated, unsure if their children are truly safe or learning effectively.
Our Approach
At Protea Swim Company, every lesson is personalized and progression-driven. We use flotation tools like barbells, kickboards, fins, and engaging toys to make lessons fun and effective, while still emphasizing discipline and accountability.
Infants and toddlers learn to float, recover, and respect the water.
Young children progress from basic comfort to swimming short distances with control.
Older beginners develop full strokes, confidence, and safety awareness.
Parents can opt for Mom & Tot classes, private lessons, semi-private lessons, or small groups for a social yet effective learning environment.
Our goal isn’t just to get kids moving through the motions, it’s to instill confidence, safety, and skills they can carry for life.
