Welcome to Waterbabies Swim School

Established 20 years, new salt water/ozone pool
Experienced Teachers
Warm 90° water, small classes, happy kids!
Proven developmental curriculum


Waterbabies Swim School began
over twenty years ago in a backyard pool in Capistrano Beach. The intimate backyard environment was comfortable for both children and their parents and worked beautifully. In keeping with that tradition, Waterbabies Swim School has now built (2006) its new home pool in the beautiful backyard of an original 1926 Ole Hanson cottage in downtown San Clemente. Our new pool is saltwater, with an Ozone system to instantly kill bacteria. Our pool is heated year-round to a wonderful 92°. We have recently added a beautiful shade structure over the entire pool area, protecting our teachers, students and parents from harmful UV rays.

The Waterbabies Method
Our teachers utilize a proven curriculum and methodology to successfully work with all personalities of babies and children. We offer small class size, warm water, and an environment of playfulness that encourages the children to go beyond their perceived limits. Children receive individual attention in a positive learning environment filled with praise and love. At Waterbabies Swim School, we recognize that all children do not learn the same way, or progress in exactly the same timeline, or are even able to learn with the same teaching style. We have adapted our program to encourage teaching methods that include all learning styles and personalities. We offer small, semi- private classes, starting our babies at 5 months of age and continuing to completion with advanced stroke refinement. If you have any questions or concerns that cannot be addressed by email or phone, we encourage you to drop by and watch our teachers in action!
