Summer Lessons
Summer registration Opens for returning families on February 15th at 6:00 pm. New families will be able to register on the 16th at 6:00 pm if there are any remaining slots. If you are new, make sure to get on our email list by clicking on the button above.
Private/Semi-Private Lessons
All our classes are private, allowing you the flexibility to decide the number of kids in the session you've booked. Essentially, you're reserving a 30-minute slot and can utilize it as you see fit. While I'd recommend a maximum of two kids if they're at varying skill levels, three can be accommodated if they're on the same page in terms of ability.

Located in Magnolia, Seattle Swim Academy teaches critical swim skills to children of all ages.
Welcome to Seattle Swim Academy! At SSA, we're all about blending the joy of swimming with essential water safety techniques. Our mission? To equip kids with vital swim skills that could be life-saving in emergencies. Nestled in the heart of Magnolia and Queen Anne, we offer a delightful and secure space for kids aged 2.5 to 12.
But swimming isn't just about safety—it's a gateway to lifelong fun and fitness. The investment in mastering this skill reaps benefits for years to come. Our dedicated swim instructors, backed by comprehensive training, ensure each child progresses at a pace that's just right for them.
Meet Sam Sandquist, the driving force behind SSA. With over 20 years in aquatics, Sam's enthusiasm for swimming is infectious. His commitment to coaching extends from the pool to the field, having coached various soccer teams and sports camps. A California native, Sam's love for swimming persisted even after relocating to the northwest 15 years ago. And when he's not at SSA? You might find him catching waves along the Oregon coast or parts of Mexico, satisfying his saltwater cravings.

Give the Gift of Swimming
Seattle Swim Academy Is partnering with No More Under to help provide swim lessons for children in adults who otherwise couldn’t afford it.
No More Under is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives through water safety education, legislation, and increasing equitable access to swimming lessons and tools. No More Under’s founder lost her son, Yori, to a drowning accident in 2018. This tragic and preventable death is one that too many families endure. Through her journey of grief, she created No More Under to ensure other families do not endure a similar tragedy.
No More Under builds free, equitable, learn-to-swim programs. In 2023 they supported over 700 children through free swim lessons and they hope to support over 1000 children in 2024!
