Swim School
Teaching the life saving skill of swimming, one lesson at a time.
Who We Are
Welcome to Brown Boys Swim School. We are a network of swim instructors who teach young and old how to ride the waves with confidence. We're passionate about communities of color learning the life changing skill of swimming. Our methods take the most fearful from water-shy to diving in headfirst, in just weeks.
Our Mission
To expand the knowledge, confidence and comfortability of communities of color in and around aquatic settings.
The Stats Behind The "Why"
The drowning stats for children of color are alarming. Drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related death of children, and nearly 80% of drowning victims come from communities of color. Swimming is not just a basic skill, it saves lives.

They are dedicated to helping swim students achieve success in our training programs. Our comprehensive training programs cover a wide range of water safety skills.
