History
As an owner and our Head Instructor, Stacy Shipman has over 20 years of success teaching children how to swim. After spending ten years in Las Vegas at Skalak Swim School, Stacy moved to California where she has continued her love for children and teaching with her own swim school. Stacy personally trains every one of our teachers all of the aspects of our unique swim curriculum ensuring that no matter who your teacher is your child will excel! We teach all lessons at the San Mateo Elks Lodge located at 229 West 20th Ave. in San Mateo. We are an outdoor swim school with the pool heated to the mid 80's year round. The facility includes an outdoor pool, bathrooms, changing stalls and showers. There is plenty of parking near the back building and seating for parents right at the pool.
