YEAR-ROUND SWIM SCHOOL
The East Bay’s Premier Swim School since 1972
The award winning Harriet Plummer Method has taught thousands of children to be safe and confident swimmers who
learn to swim with outstanding technique. We are passionate about swimming as a fun and healthy lifetime activity.
It is our pleasure to share our enthusiasm and knowledge with students while teaching them to love the water.
Our instructors conduct lessons in a mature, positive, engaging, and structured manner with a commitment to water safety.

Teaching Philosophy
We believe in the power of positive reinforcement presented in a structured organized manner using our award winning and successful 5 step progression level system starting with Non-swimming to competitive stroke coaching for children 3 through 8 years of age.
HPAS provides a warm and inviting environment with mature, skilled, patient, and enthusiastic instructors that look forward to work with your child every day. Every day brings new challenges and new success stories.
We will work with your child to build confidence, skill, self-esteem, and a love of swimming.


Is my child:
- – 100% potty-trained?
- – 3 years of age (or close to 3)?
- – Willing to go to the instructor independently?
- – Can listen and take directions?
HPAS is a non-parent participation program so parents will not be in the pool and will not be poolside but will be able to observe the lessons.
