Largest Swim School Association In The Country,
With 7,000,000+ Lessons Taught Each Year
High Degree of Excellence
USSSA has grown over the last 35 years to become the largest swim school association in the country. We believe learning should be delivered in a systematic, intentional way, planned and guided by a trained instructor. Our member programs are held to a high degree of excellence and must meet our rigorous set of standards.
Swim School Owners(s) and all staff over 18 are background checked.
Swim school ensures young children are allowed the security of having a parent or trusted caregiver in view of the swim lesson.
At least one CPR/First Aid Certified individual is in the facility during hours of operation.
No more than 1 to 6 ratio for beginner or intermediate swim lessons when parent is not present in the water (recommend 1 to 4 ratio or less).
An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) has been developed to meet the needs of your swim school.
Provide proof of insurance for learn to swim program.
Lifesaving equipment and first aid supplies are easily accessible and replenished as needed (equipment may include rescue tube or ring buoy; shepherd’s crook or reaching pole; spineboard; automated external defibrillator; gloves; breathing masks).
Instructors receive formal training* that should include first aid, proper supervision during swim lessons, bloodborne pathogens, abuse prevention, emergency action plans, reducing fear & anxiety, child development related to teaching swim and the importance of a positive learning environment.
A young child uses his swimming knowledge to swim to the pool’s side when he falls in. Thanks to the training he received at San-T-Swim swim schools.
Member school Blue Buoy Family Swim School was featured on the “World’s Greatest TV Show” on the Bloomberg TV channel.
