As summer approaches, you might be wondering how to keep the kids entertained and whether to sign them up for camps. If you’re looking to help your child gain confidence in the water or learn to swim, Red Whale Swim School offers the perfect solution.

Their summer swim courses are one-week programs, with daily half hour classes in a specially designed pool for kids. These programs are ideal for building confidence, improving skills, and having fun in a supportive environment.

I had the chance to visit Red Whale’s Bellevue location, where the pool ensures comfort and focus, free from distractions.

My daughter was enrolled in these summer courses in the past, and it was a great experience for the whole family. Red Whale School definitely contributed to her confidence in the water. Watching a class in action, I saw kids having fun while gaining fundamental skills. There was a perfect balance of play and learning, or instead, learning through play – as this is how kids learn best.

What Makes Red Whale so unique in Geneva?

They organise their classes only in warm pools, which are adapted to children and convenient for parents. But the most important thing is the instructors’ approach to teaching. Water can be scary to some kids, and they have the right to feel unsure, but teachers at Red Whale Swim School know precisely how to boost confidence and make children feel safe. Also, small group sizes allow the teachers to pay attention to everyone and give children individual attention when needed.

My Visit to Red Whale in Bellevue

I had the chance to visit Red Whale’s primary location in Bellevue. They built this pool to have the place they needed to make children and parents comfortable and create a suitable teaching space and environment. In that pool, nobody will get cold, bored, or scared. The moment I walked in, I saw that this place was designed with kids and families in mind. The pool area is bright, joyful, and, of course, clean. The warm water is really the best part – those who try to teach a toddler to swim in cold water will know that warm water is a game changer!

Why Summer is the Best Time for Swim Lessons

Summer is an excellent time for kids to focus on swimming. Without the usual school-year distractions and stressors, swimming classes can be fun and not another thing they have to do. It’s warm outside, and there is no hustling with drying or having to put on all the winter clothes. Summer makes it easy and enjoyable even for the most reluctant child (from experience here). Honestly, having such an intensive swim course improves skills and confidence really fast!

There are of course different courses for different age groups and skills groups. The changing rooms are comfy, the staff friendly, and there’s easy parking just next to the pool!

Spots fill up quickly, so I recommend booking early if you consider enrolling your child! You can find all the details and register directly on the Red Whale Swim School website.
