about speer swim school

Since 2017, Speer Swim School has been bringing personalized lessons to Delaware, Chester and Montgomery Counties. Our swim curriculum is based on over 25 years of swim instruction experience. We begin with safety swimming skills, then move on to a learn-to-swim curriculum teaching proper technique. All of our instructors have been highly trained in our swim method.

Whether you’re looking for a refresher course for an experienced swimmer or learn-to-swim basics for a new swimmer, we are here to help achieve your goal and bring confidence to your swimmer.

“As a mother of five young children and public school teacher for 9 years, I know how important swim safety is for parents. I know it is challenging to find a good swim school, and to fit lessons into busy schedules. My doctorate in Educational Leadership helped inform how I built Speer Swim School. We have made it our goal to provide quality lessons while teaching your children to love swimming in a caring, yet vigorous, program.”

Client Testimonials

Jennifer I.

Thank you so much for a great two weeks of lessons! We are so thrilled with [our son’s] progress and we attribute it all to [his instructor’s] patience, adaptability, and skill. He went from not being comfortable getting his face wet to short spurts of independent swim, in such a short time. We can’t wait until we can get him back in lessons!
Erin C.

The instructors are miracle workers- my son has been terrified to even get his face wet for several years, but each 2 week session comes with so much progress, and even more importantly- so much confidence. Both of my kids passed their deep water test this year- couldn’t be more thrilled with Speer- absolutely worth every penny!
Kate T.

[Our instructor] was wonderful! My son was jumping in and floating on his back during his 3rd lesson, so happy with his lessons.
Megan S.

After 3 weeks, my 8 year old has gained so much confidence in the pool and passed his swim test to jump off the diving board today! My 3 year old is also swimming without his swimmies! I can’t believe it! The boys loved lessons with you at the Splash Club!
Alison L.

I can’t recommend enough! After a year of weekly lessons at a different school my daughter struggled to make any progress. The back to back lessons my daughter took with [Speer] weer fantastic. [They] knew how to push her and how to encourage her to try new things. Will definitely sign my son up next year.
Lauren A.

My 5 year old just completed her lessons with [Speer]. I was surprised to see how much she learned after just 4 sessions! I will never go through any other program besides Speer from now on!
