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.

About Us
HPAS Advantages
What Makes Us Special

We specialize in teaching children between 3 and 8 years of age.

From non-swimming to competitive stroke coaching.

All lessons are private lessons

Each child is taught one on one (instructor and student only) in a non-parent participation program.

Lessons are taught in 20 minute private lessons. We have up to 6 private lessons occurring on the :00, :20 and :40 of each hour.

We are a year round program.

From October through April, our pool is completely enclosed with our specially designed enclosure keeping the inside temperature 70 to 90 degrees. Our water temperature is kept year round at a warm 92 degrees.

Our award winning 5 step progression level program.

Over 30 years experience! We have taught thousands of students to swim. This means we’ve worked with every type of child over the decades, giving us the expertise to meet every child’s needs in the water.
