We absolutely love what we do. Nothing makes us happier than to see a child reach their potential through the help of a loving and encouraging teacher. We take great pride in our job and it shows. We are dedicated to providing you with the best experience. Our goal is to teach students swimming in a comfortable and inspiring way that encourages them to reach their potential while having fun and being safe.
Who We Are
Neptune Swim Academy is a traveling swim school serving the San Francisco Bay Area. The founder and director, Lorianne, has been teaching for 10 years. She started out at one of the best private swim schools in Southern California before starting her own school in Northern California in 2005. We offer private lessons for kids of all ages -- infants to adults, beginners to advanced. Lessons for students with disabilities are also available.

Methods
Methods come from personal training by the chairperson of the Learn to Swim Course Committee for the US Swim School Association. Our proven methods are guaranteed to bring results. Our styles are different from most schools in that the foundation of learning to swim is based in survival skills. We emphasize safety, especially for the younger students, through proper breathing and technique. Our lessons are customized to fit the learning style of each child.

All lessons take place at the pool of your choice: backyard, HOA, local community. We travel almost anywhere from Gilroy to Menlo Park. Outside the area is also available but different lesson prices may apply.
