TINY CLASSES
& BIG FUN
02.
Wise Swim School makes swimming with peers much more fun. Our small classes of 1 to 4 swimmers are aligned by age and by ability, to make sure kids connect and have fun. We believe that consistent year-round swimming produces the best results. With 15 different levels to choose from, our lessons challenge swimmers while delighting them: hard work that feels like play.
"We have been taking lessons at Wise for over four years and love it.
We started at community ed and found Wise to be a completely different experience, for the better. The instructors are well-trained and they provide just the right amount encouragement to help even the most nervous child thrive by the end of class. The water is warm and the classes are the right size for personal attention. Worth the extra money! Five stars."

CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER UNLOCKED BY NATION-LEADING TECHNOLOGY
03.
Safety is our number one priority and a responsibility we take seriously. We are one of the few swim schools in the nation that has invested in both high quality UV filtration and Defender Regenerative Media Filtration. Ultraviolet light kills the microbes that chlorine alone cannot. The result: no excessive “chlorine” smell that signals misaligned chemical balance, and no infections! The Defender Filtration Systems removes microscopic particles down to the micron delivering unsurpassed safe and clear water.

"what a transformation.
My son has challenges with separation and really needs a teacher that boosts and supports confidence. The owners and staff are wonderful and did a fantastic job. Beyond that if you want an experience for your child that is beyond some of the other groups in the south metro Wise hands down goes the extra mile for a personal lesson that you can see positive development of skills right in front of you.
