Children’s Swimming Lessons in Tulsa South

At Miller Swim School in Tulsa South, we believe swimming is a foundational skill and that consistency is the key to a swimmer’s success in the water. When your child learns how to swim with Miller, they benefit from a proven curriculum that has positively impacted the lives of thousands of swimmers. 

Whether the goal is to develop lifesaving water safety skills, compete at an elite level or something in between, our children’s swimming lessons are perfect for all ages and abilities. Our instructors are passionate about swimming, and our team is excited to watch your swimmer gain new skills and newfound confidence.

Why does my child need swimming lessons?

Swimming is not only fun and empowering, it’s also an essential life skill that will make your children safer. Whether they’re splashing in a kiddie pool, perfecting their cannonball technique at a backyard party, or trying to catch waves at the beach, all kids can benefit from being stronger, safer swimmers.

But why is learning to swim so important? Sadly, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for kids under the age of 4. Swimming lessons equip kids with the skills and experiences they need to be safer in and around water.

Our Water Safety Curriculum

When it comes to choosing swimming lessons, we know you have plenty of options. Our warm water pools and small class sizes help Miller Swim School stand out, but it’s our proven curriculum that has been designed by a team of world class swimmers that ensures your child learns all of the skills they need to know. Our swim lesson program includes:

  • A progressive curriculum focused on water safety, skill development, and proper swimming technique for the four fundamental swim strokes.
  • Experienced, passionate instructors who have completed extensive classroom and in-water training programs, along with a series of instructor-shadowing sessions.
  • Our commitment to match the instructor’s teaching style to the needs of each swimmer.
  • Regular updates on your swimmer’s progress through our skill tracking and progress reports.

From the beginning, every Miller Swim School swimmer learns the basics of water safety and the correct way to swim. We believe swimmers need to develop swim skills that not only allow them to float, but to also move themselves to safety as confident, efficient swimmers. Having a correct, efficient swim stroke enables swimmers to move themselves out of potentially dangerous situations. As their skills increase, they’ll become more and more confident… both in the pool and in everyday life.
