Flow Aquatics

The BEST swimming classes in town! Well, this is the only swimming «school» I know of in town. Their goal is not just to teach kids how to simply swim. It’s about teaching little babies to feel comfortable with water, also teaching kids the danger of the water, teaching them how to be safe in water, teaching them how to swim (of course), and how to be also competitive.
I used to take my son to YMCA Aqua center when he was only 6 months old. The ratio of the class was 1:12, and it was fun without getting anything out of the program. Yes, it was more of «playing» at that age. But FLOW Aquatics offered way more than just «playing» around. Not to mention the ratio was 1:4−6 for that age group. Depending on each child’s comfort level, a coach nudges the little one just a little to do more. Their philosophy encourages ALL children. Over the years (with having now two kiddos in the program), I have been watching some timid children growing out of their comfort zone and becoming fish in the water! From someone who learned swimming rather at later age, I find it FASCINATING and very touching.
Now my son is 6 years old. He is still in the program and will continue to be in FLOW Aquatics. He can swim and float at the 6ft deep end very comfortably.
My 3-​year old girl can float and reach for the shore while swimming for about 10 seconds. When I took her to an indoor swimming pool a couple of weeks ago, everyone around us was so shocked to see her because I had a hard time getting her out of the water. She kept wanting to go under water and kick! Simply amazing to see this little tiny thing dunking her head under water and kicking her little feet!
Having said all this, if you are just focusing on teaching your child how to swim in one summer, this may not be a place for you. But if you want your child to learn many aspect of «water» and «swimming» over time, this is the PERFECT place for you. I know my kids are going to be my life savers when/​if I’m in trouble in water. I couldn’t be more happier with this place and feel so lucky we have a place like this in a small community, Boise, Idaho!

My niece went here. She is 5. They swam in a small pool that was in the basement of some lady’s house. The lady who teaches the classes has lots of swimming trophys on her walls. I guess she is a swimming super star. My niece went but didn’t go back because they weren’t very flexible on the scheduling.

Premier swim training program in Idaho for children and adults. They teach a very specialized swimming style that will change the way you swim forever.
My five year old daughter is in their children’s swim class and she loves her coach, is learning to swim faster than I imagined possible and loves her lessons.
I’ve been taking lessons and have improved my ability in the water by way over 100%.
Perfect for people training for swimming competitions, triathletes, or people who want to swim for fitness. Coach Shannon and Coach Amber rock!
