Empowering families with water safety and life-saving skills since 1998.
For over 25 years, we have been dedicated to providing water safety education, results-driven swim lessons, and specialized survival swim training to families across Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia. Our mission is to equip children with the skills they need to stay safe in and around water, while giving parents peace of mind. With a proven track record of transforming young swimmers into confident, self-reliant individuals, we’re proud to serve as a trusted resource for drowning prevention and water safety in our community.
Our Mission
At The Swim Academy of New Jersey, we’re passionate about creating a safer world - one swimmer at a time. Our mission is to prevent childhood drowning by empowering families with life-saving water safety education. Through these highly specialized swim lessons, we equip children with the skills they need to survive in the water, reduce risk, and build lasting confidence in and around aquatic environments.
Survival swim skills start as early as 6 months old (once your child is sitting independently) and continue through age 6 and beyond. Using a sensory-motor learning approach, we ensure that these skills are not only learned - they’re retained.
Whether your little one is just beginning their water safety journey or ready to take their skills to the next level, we’re here to support and guide your family every step of the way. Every lesson is a step toward confidence, safety, and peace of mind.
Drowning is the leading cause of death in children ages 1-4 - but it’s preventable. The risk is real, but so is the solution. With survival swim lessons, your child can gain the skills they need to stay safe, and you can have the peace of mind you deserve.
