Courtney Rogers founded Swim Waco (originally named Swim Kids Waco) in 2019, teaching at home pools in the summer with her sister as a second instructor. In 2020, the Swim Waco team expanded to five instructors and began to offer year-round lessons, teaching at theCENTER in downtown Waco. Each year more families joined - in 2023 alone, a total of 1,700 kids enrolled in swimming lessons! While it was exciting to help so many kids learn a life-saving skill, Courtney knew it was time to get a dedicated Swim Waco facility. We’re happy to announce that Swim Waco will have a permanent home at 216 Kelly Dr, coming in 2025!

I loved the amount of confidence my child gained after each session. I was very impressed with how well the instructors bonded with each child.
The Jr Swim Team experience was great - a balance of attention to form and also increasing distance. The meet at the end was fun!
Swim Waco exceeded all our expectations. Our son went from being a timid, reluctant swimmer to enjoying our pool and asking to show us all of his new moves.
We loved the way you incorporated FUN AND EFFECTIVE methods to helping our child swim. Our child came away enjoying the water and wanting to explore it more!

Hannah Kubacak2024-05-03 We have had a wonderful experience with this program. Miss Lahana has helped my toddler learn so many new skills and gain confidence in the water. She has been incredibly patient and provided great lessons for my strong-willed three-year-old. We will definitely continue using this program to further develop swimming skills. Ashley Sabori2024-04-03 Updated Review: We have been partaking in swim lessons with Swim Kids Waco since 2019 and are immensely delighted with the progress and success in our children’s learning & swim skills. Initially, our son started in lessons and currently he is swimming within their jr. swim team sessions. Our daughter is advancing nicely through their programs and can swim at a higher proficiency than we expected at her age. They are always excited to attend and enjoy the SKW staff who have an inherent ability to inspire courage and make each session both purposeful and fun. Their administrative coordination is top notch, very attentive and communicates well with parents. The Center, where they host sessions the majority of the year, also made some improvements to the locker rooms. Overall their commitment to high quality instruction, seamless coordination and innovative programming has continued to make our family loyal to their services. We look forward to further expansions as they move toward opening their own facility. Thank you for your dedication to our children’s safety and confidence in swimming ability. Previous Review: I am very happy with the quality of instruction that Swim Kids Waco provides to my child. The attention to detail and kind demeanor of the instructors really boost the value of their services. Coupled with the class size to instructor ratio, we have seen large improvements in our son’s swim ability and safety awareness. In my experience, the quality of this program shows the level of professionalism and commitment to not only skill but education (I grew up in a water centric family, lifeguarded for many years, and managed an aquatics program including swim instructors). They provide cost effective options to swim lessons, opportunities for makeup sessions, clearly defined expectations for each swim level, and dynamic instruction. They have definitely met my expectations and we will continue to enroll our children in future offerings. The only improvement I would humbly suggest would be maintenance and upkeep to the facility where the sessions are conducted, from what I can tell the majority of the time as the location can move depending on the season (The Center). I don’t believe this has a direct correlation to Swim Kids Waco, but they might want to make a suggestion (or continue to do so) to the facility that maintenance be prioritized in both the aquatic area and the locker rooms. The environment is not terrible, however, there are many opportunities for improvement. If the facility were in better repair I probably would have ranked five stars. Devon Nye2024-03-17 We have had a great experience with Swim Kids Waco! Our 3 year old is doing great with the spring session and loves Ms. Charlie! We also had a make up session with Mr. Ben and he was amazing as well! We are excited to get all the kids enrolled for summer!! Lacie Gaines2024-02-08 We have loved our kiddos being with Swim Kids Waco! They have worked so well with both and especially our son who has Down Syndrome. It has helped him so much with muscle tone and plus.. they make it soo fun for him! Chelsy Cork2024-01-25 We’ve used Swim Kids Waco for all three of our children ranging from Infant Aquatics with our 17 month old, learning how to swim in a beginner level class with our 2.5 year old, abs building confidence in higher level classes with our 5 year old. Their instructors are gentle yet also encourage our kids to move out of their comfort zone and actually learn how to swim. They prioritize water safety and are very efficient with their lessons. We come back summer after summer and have had multiple instructors. Each experience has been wonderful! The owners are the nicest family and truly care about kids being safe around water. Kallie Boyd2024-01-25 My son looked forward to swim class every day! The process was excellent and the instructors were so great with him! Kelly Stilwell2024-01-20 We love SKW! In just a few months my kids went from being non-swimmers to swimming across the pool on their own. They look forward to lessons with Miss Allie every week! She is fun and encouraging while also holding them accountable to do their best and grow their comfort zones. Everything we could hope for in an instructor! We are grateful! Brandy S2024-01-16 Update: we now have our 3 and 5 year old in swim classes and they love it!! Our 3 yr old HATED water and Swim Kids Waco has completely changed that for us! I would recommend over and over again. We’ve been with Swim Kids Waco for a year and a half. We started in the parent and me classes when our oldest was 2 yo. We initially started solely to teach our son water safety. Our son loves it so much that we keep going for the skills!! He’s learned so much and can swim at just 4yo thanks to Swim Kids Waco!!! Camryn Aiello2023-12-24 Above and beyond. Swim Kids Waco and my daughter’s instructor, Allie, has given my daughter and family something priceless, peace of mind. My daughter went from being water scared to water proud! She swims confidently and safely. The pace of the lessons is fantastic and meets the emotional and physical needs of each different child. 10/10 We will be back again and again.
