OUR PACKAGES

Hello, I’m AJ!
Welcome to our swim school.

With over 17 years of experience teaching preschool , I realized that my true passion lies in working with young children and guiding them through important developmental milestones. However, as a devoted mother, I also wanted to create more time for my own children…

Everything you need to know

Our Curriculum

The Starfish Swimming curriculum was developed by the internationally recognized & acclaimed Starfish Aquatics Institute. The streamlined, innovative and learner-focused curriculum uses an “ages and stages” format so that we can offer you swim lessons across the lifespan to a broad range of interests.

Our Facilities

Our pool is maintained at a constant 32 degrees to help our little swimmers thrive through every season. Half of the pool is covered for sun and rain protection to ensure you never miss a lesson.

To float you must first let go.

"We can’t say enough great things about Swim with AJ! From the very first lesson, our almost babe (almost 1 years old) has been splashing, kicking, and giggling her way through the water—all thanks to Josie (AJ) and her amazing way with little swimmers! As a former teacher, she knows exactly how to keep kids (and parents!) entertained while making sure every lesson is packed with learning. She moves at each child’s pace, explains everything in a way that makes sense, and somehow makes water safety fun! We love that we get to be in the water with our daughter, and honestly, we enjoy the lessons just as much as she does. If you want a swim school where your little one will feel safe, confident, and excited for every lesson, Swim with AJ is the place to be. Highly recommend!"

“Josie is such a natural with the kids and makes them feel so at ease. We've learnt so much about water safety and confidence. We started Koah at 6 months and he is thriving in the water. I love the quirky little songs too!"

Carmen Hunkin
"Our boys have been with AJs swim school for one term so far and the progress in their swimming is remarkable. This is testament to not only Josie’s knowledge and teaching style but also to her incredible way with children. Sending our boys to such a well structured, clean and professional swim school that also offers a fun and nurturing environment has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. Each lesson is well planned and has a definitive goal which ensures our boys make progress every week. Our boys love going to swimming lessons at AJs swim school and look forward to it every week!"
