INVEST IN WATER SAFETY
Water safety is the most critical skill for all swimmers at all ages and skill levels, especially for beginners. It is the cornerstone of our teaching philosophy. Our lessons help students, young and old, to feel safe and overcome their fear of the water.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
We look forward to our lessons every summer! “We started Farnsworth Swim School when our daughter was just 2-years-old. She enjoys her classes and swims well! All of the instructors have been so amazing! Jaynie is such a sweet person and we are so fortunate to have found a swim program like this. We look forward to our lessons every Summer!” – Julie | San Jose, CA
The one-on-one attention was so much more effective. “Both of my kids learned to swim at the Farnsworth Swim School. I was always amazed at the amount of progress they made. The one-on-one attention was so much more effective than the group lessons we also tried elsewhere.” – Dodi | San Jose, CA
My son asked to take lessons again this year. “I really like the Farnsworth swim school. My son, a 5 year old with a learning disability, was floating on his back and swimming a few strokes by the end of our first 8 day lesson. They are very patient and they make it fun for the kids. My son asked to take lessons again this year.” – Melynda | San Jose, CA
We found the best swim teacher. “I’m 42 years old and never learned to swim, and I was tired of wading around the shallow end all the time. Then we found the best swim teacher in Jaynie Farnsworth. In only a week I’ve become pool safe, enjoy playing with my kids, and I’m even swimming for exercise.” – Steve | San Jose, CA
