Why Austin Area Families Choose Nitro Swim School

  • Age-Appropriate Instruction with Parent Participation
    From our Infant and Toddler classes to Pre-School swim lessons, our youngest swimmers learn alongside a trusted caregiver. These classes build confidence, safety, and early skills through gentle, supportive instruction.
  • A Curriculum That Grows With Your Child
    From Nitro 1 for beginner swimmers to Nitro 2 for more advanced skill development, our structured approach builds on what your child has already learned—step by step, at their pace. As soon as your child masters a prescribed skill, they advance, right then and there, on the spot! Of course we celebrate those, so have your camera ready!
Children learning to swim
  • Small Class Sizes, Big Individual Attention
    We keep class sizes small to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and seen. Our instructors are trained to adapt lessons to each swimmer’s comfort and ability.
  • Safety in Every Stroke
    Water safety is the foundation of everything we teach. From learning how to float and breathe to progressing toward independent swimming, our focus is on helping your child feel secure in and around water.
  • Warm, Comfortable Facilities
    Our indoor pools are heated to a consistent 88°F for young swimmers’ comfort and use UV filtration for a clean, healthy swim environment.
  • Kind, Supportive Instructors
    Our swim instructors specialize in working with young children. They bring patience, encouragement, and experience to every class—creating a positive first experience in the water and through their swim journey.
  • Room to Grow
    As your child gains confidence and skills, they’ll have opportunities to move up through our levels and, if desired, prepare for future swim team participation. And we offer several once and twice a week team options for even the busiest of family schedules. But there’s never pressure—just encouragement to love swimming.
