FELIX’S SWIM SCHOOL WOODBRIDGE

Why Choose Felix’s Swim School Woodbridge?

Choosing the right swim school in Vaughan is important for your family’s safety and enjoyment. Felix’s Swim School Woodbridge stands out thanks to our decades of expertise and our caring, personalized approach. When you join our program, you become part of the Felix’s Swim Schools family – we are committed to helping each swimmer succeed while having fun. Here are some of the reasons local families choose Felix’s:

• 40+ Years of Experience: Felix’s Swim Schools have been teaching swimming for over four decades in the GTA. Our proven methods and seasoned instructors mean you’re getting the benefit of years of success in helping non-swimmers become confident swimmers. We’ve taught thousands of students in Woodbridge and across Vaughan, developing a trusted reputation in the community.
• Safety-First Approach: Water safety is our #1 priority in every class. From the very first lesson, we teach critical safety skills like how to enter/exit the pool safely, float or tread water, and respond calmly to challenges. Our pools are always supervised by certified lifeguards. You can feel at ease knowing your child is learning in a safe, controlled environment focused on instilling lifelong safety habits.
• Small Class Sizes & Personalized Attention: We keep our class sizes small (usually 3 students per instructor) to maximize individual attention. Smaller classes allow our instructors to customize lessons to each swimmer’s ability and learning style. Students progress faster because they get plenty of one-on-one coaching and feedback in each session. No one gets lost in the crowd – every swimmer receives the support they need to thrive.
• Qualified, Caring Instructors: Our swim teachers are certified, friendly, and passionate about helping students learn. They undergo rigorous training and many are former competitive swimmers or lifeguards with years of teaching experience. Most importantly, they are patient and encouraging, creating a welcoming atmosphere for children who may be nervous. Parents consistently praise our instructors for being positive, attentive, and excellent at motivating kids to improve each week.
• Proven Curriculum for Quick Progress: Felix’s Swim School follows a progressive curriculum that makes learning to swim simple and effective. We use a step-by-step approach – repeating and building upon skills – so students grasp fundamentals before moving to the next level. This progressive, repetitive learning approach leads to quick improvement in ability and confidence. Swimmers regularly achieve new milestones (like moving up a level or swimming farther distances) in a short time. Every achievement, no matter how small, is celebrated!
• Warm Saltwater Pool: Our Woodbridge facility features a modern, mild saltwater pool that is heated and maintained for comfort. Unlike heavily chlorinated pools, saltwater pools are gentler on the skin, eyes, and hair – swimmers often find the water feels softer. This is especially great for young children or anyone with chlorine sensitivities or asthma. The warm temperature helps new swimmers relax and enjoy their lessons, and parents appreciate the cleanliness and comfort our pool provides.
• Clean, Modern Facilities: We take hygiene and cleanliness seriously. Our pool and changing areas are cleaned regularly, and our water quality is closely monitored. Felix’s Swim School Woodbridge offers a bright, modern facility with all the amenities you need – spacious change rooms, seating for parents, and safety equipment on hand. A clean, well-maintained environment means you can focus on learning and having fun, not worrying about the facilities.
• Fun & Friendly Environment: Learning to swim at Felix’s is fun, engaging, and family-friendly. We strive to make every lesson enjoyable with upbeat instructors and a supportive group setting. Students often make new friends in class, and we foster a positive community spirit. Our philosophy is to be teachers and coaches first, but also to build lasting relationships with our swimmers and their families. When you come to our swim school, you’ll be greeted with a smile and treated like part of the family every visit.

Swimming Programs for All Ages

We offer a wide range of swim programs at our Woodbridge location to suit every age group and skill level. Whether you’re a parent introducing your baby to water, a child or teen learning to swim, or an adult improving your strokes, you’ll find a program tailored to your needs. Our classes are structured to be engaging, age-appropriate, and focused on developing strong swimming fundamentals. Here are some of our popular programs:

Learn-to-Swim Program (Kids & Teens)

Our Learn-to-Swim classes help children and teenagers become confident, capable swimmers. Students start with the basics – like floating, kicking, and breath control – and progress through levels as they master each skill. Small class sizes (usually 3:1 student-to-instructor ratio) ensure each child gets personal attention and guidance. We emphasize water safety and proper technique at every stage, so kids not only learn to swim quickly but also learn how to stay safe in and around the water. Classes are kept fun and supportive, helping young swimmers gain confidence with each lesson.

Parent & Tot Swim Classes (Infants & Toddlers)

Our Parent & Tot classes are a wonderful way to introduce babies and toddlers (6 months to 3 years old) to the water with the comfort of a parent or caregiver by their side. In these gentle 30-minute sessions, our instructors lead you and your little one through songs, games, and basic water movements that make learning to swim a positive, stress-free experience. The warm, saltwater pool at our Woodbridge swim school is gentle on sensitive skin and eyes, helping young children feel comfortable as they splish and splash. Parent & Tot classes are all about building water familiarity, toddler water safety habits, and having fun together – a perfect first step in your child’s swimming journey.

Adult Swimming Lessons

Swimming isn’t just for kids! We offer adult swimming lessons in Vaughan for beginners and intermediate adult swimmers who want to learn at their own pace. Our adult classes provide a friendly, non-judgmental environment for anyone from complete beginners to those looking to refine their strokes or overcome water anxiety. Instructors tailor each lesson to your comfort level and goals – whether you’re learning to float for the first time, working on lap swimming for fitness, or improving your technique. It’s never too late to enjoy the water, and our adult programs will help you become a confident swimmer while getting a great low-impact workout. Join our adult classes to conquer your fears, improve your skills, and enjoy the many benefits of swimming.

Bronze Medallion & Bronze Cross Courses

For teens and adults aiming to become lifeguards or advance their water rescue skills, we offer the Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross courses at our Woodbridge location. These are official Lifesaving Society certification programs that teach advanced swimming techniques, rescue protocols, and first aid skills. In Bronze Medallion, students learn lifesaving principles, endurance swimming, and how to respond to water emergencies. Bronze Cross is the next level, where candidates build on those skills with more complex rescues and CPR training – it’s also a prerequisite for becoming a National Lifeguard. Our experienced instructors guide you through each step, ensuring you understand the techniques and water safety knowledge needed to succeed. Upon completion, you’ll have the confidence and qualifications recognized across Vaughan and Ontario, bringing you closer to lifeguard certification.

Swim Instructor Certification

Do you love swimming and working with kids? Our Swim Instructor certification program will train you to teach swimming lessons professionally. This course is ideal for strong swimmers (usually ages 15 and up) who want to become certified swim instructors and share their passion for the water. You will learn how to plan lessons, effectively demonstrate strokes and skills, and ensure safety for your students. Under the guidance of Felix’s Swim Schools’ senior coaches, instructor candidates practice teaching techniques and get real-world coaching experience. By the end of the program, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and certification needed to instruct your own classes with confidence. Many of our graduates go on to teach at our Woodbridge swim school or other locations in Vaughan. It’s a fantastic opportunity to turn your love of swimming into a rewarding job!
