We were established in Burbank in 1963 by Lucile Cowle, the author of Teaching Your Tot to Swim (Vantage Press, 1970 & 2000). Lucile was a pioneer in the field of infant swimming in the early 1960's and was featured in Life magazine and on various talk shows.
Lucile's method of instruction is based on imitation, fading kinehstetic motoring, and pairing the basic swimming skills with short repetitive phrases appropriate to each child's developmental level.Because each student is unique, all of our instruction is one-to-one. Owners, Steph Nelson and Rob Downs, began teaching swimming in 1972 and taught at the swim school beginning in 1974 and 1977 respectively.

Facility
Report
Our facility was designed by Lucile Cowle and built by her husband Johnny in 1963 specifically for teaching young children how to swim. We have two outdoor pools that are larger than residential pools and much smaller and less intimidating than competitive training or lap pools. Both pools have large shallow areas to help new swimmers feel comfortable.
