Costa Mesa’s Home for Quality Swim Instruction
Swimming lessons can provide great benefits for learners of all ages. For children, the exercise of swimming in a class setting supports brain development and learning social skills. For those who have already taken lessons, swim instruction can help learners sharpen their existing skills and be a source of enjoyable exercise. However, to make the most of swimming lessons, you must choose a swimming school with excellent instructors and impeccable facilities so that learning is effective, fun and safe.
For residents of Costa Mesa, the obvious choice when searching for swimming instructions is Blue Buoy Family Swim School. Here, you can confidently enroll the whole family knowing that we’ve been successfully teaching swimming since 1956. Over the years we’ve maintained our excellent reputation in all sorts of swim instruction, whether your goals are recreational or competitive. Choose from our selection of classes available privately, semi-private or in a group setting. All of our classes take place in our gorgeous, well-maintained facilities that include two pools at depths that make perfect learning environments for students of all ages.
Class Offerings
Parent & Me Classes – We know that the youngest students may be a bit nervous about taking swimming lessons. However, parents may also feel a bit uneasy about an arrangement they cannot participate in. For this reason, we offer fun, light-hearted “parent & me” classes designed so that you can accompany your child in the water. We offer this class for children under the age of three. This is the perfect balance for you to start your child off in swimming lessons without putting undue pressure on either of you.
Semi-Private & Private Classes – Our semi-private classes combine the perfect recipe of personalized instruction with the fun of having others in the class. These classes feature two students and one instructor. Children enjoy this opportunity to improve their swimming, while also engaging in positive social interactions.
Some students prefer private classes that are one-to-one, one student, one instructor. We’ve noticed that these classes are best for the most highly motivated students or those who need to meet specific goals necessary for competitions or Scouting requirements. Children with special abilities may also benefit from this style of class.
Stroke Prep Classes – A maximum of six school-age children enjoy practicing four different strokes that are used in competitions. The strokes we teach are: freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly and backstroke. In order to join these classes, children must be comfortable with swimming and should have basic experience with at least two of the strokes to be learned. These Stroke Prep classes prepare students for the more challenging Stroke Technique classes.
Stroke Technique Classes – In half-hour classes of a maximum of 15 students, school-aged children improve and refine their competition stroke techniques. They also help students acquire the necessary physical conditioning to perform well in the pool. We welcome both graduates of our Stroke Prep class and students who are already able to perform the four strokes due to experience in another setting.
Adult Swim Classes – Think it’s too late to learn to swim? It’s never too late! Life is full of opportunities, and if you didn’t learn to swim as a child, there’s no reason you can’t learn as an adult. We offer beginning adult classes which will help get you comfortable with swimming in a fun, welcoming environment. You’ll also meet other beginning adult swimmers which will enhance your learning experience.
Adults who already know how to swim, but want to improve their skills with additional lessons are also welcome. Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming competition or charitable event such as a triathlon, we are able to help. Our instruction can be tailored to your needs in our low student-to-teacher ratio classes.

First-Rate Facilities
Blue Buoy Family Swim School is conveniently located in Tustin, which is just northeast of Costa Mesa. Our facilities include two pools that create the perfect learning environments for all of our students. Our enclosed pool is small and shallow, perfect for teaching swimming skills to infants, toddlers and young children. This pool ranges from two to four feet. In addition, we have a large outdoor pool ideal for our school-aged children and adult students. This pool is deeper, ranging from three feet to eight feet. Throughout the year, we keep the pools between 90 and 93 degrees fahrenheit so that they are always comfortable for swimming. We also maintain our decks at a constant temperature so that swimmers are comfortable in and out of the pool.

We ensure that all students have access to flexible scheduling so that they can attend lessons regularly. At Blue Buoy we understand that it can be tough to manage family, school and work activities and responsibilities with swim lessons on top!
