Kay's All Swim School, established 1974, is New Mexico's oldest swim school, offering personalized one-on-one warm-water swim lessons for infants, children, and adults in Albuquerque. It is a swim school, not a kids' summer camp.

Powered by GoogleI took my child for swim lessons. Also she states she teaches classes for special needs. So my son has done rescue swim, and he graduated to float on his own and he only 2 but I wanted to try something different. So I went to Kate’s and he cried which is natural for kids at rescue swim. So we were not perfect family and not well behaved so we couldn’t come back. So I called and asked if I could take training to teach my child and she stated my child needed occupational therapy and something was wrong with him. He was all over the place and I should get him diagnosed by his doctor asap to see what wrong with him. I don’t think it’s good to worry a mom like that. All his teachers say he very smart.
This school is an absolute scam. In addition to requiring that you buy their swim diapers (2), goggles, and swim cap, they charge a huge registration fee. In total, it cost more than $500 for 2x 25-minute private lessons for a 2 year old. Kay also wouldn't allow my son's grandmother or father to be in the building during the second lesson, despite them staying in viewing area and not interrupting first lesson in any way. I am giving 2 stars because Ms. Shelby was fantastic.
After several years of failed swim lessons we finally signed up at Kays Swim School. The instruction and attention is amazing! It is a great option for someone that is fearful or late to swimming. Kay's techniques are unique and very effective. She has helped our young swimmer overcome fears and feel safe in the water. Aside from swimming, Kay's incorporates water safety, diving and getting in and out of the pool. It is a very serene environment and perfect for the person who wants to focus and feel relaxed in water. She also has pool gear for sale for the times we have forgotten key things. It is no stress and high quality environment.
I cannot believe how much my son has learned in just four weeks with Ms. Ashley! We have been everywhere to try to get our little five year old comfortable in the water. He has been afraid and unsure, but after just one lesson with Ashley, he put his head underwater! I still can't believe it! By the end of week 4 he was learning backstroke and freestyle. He was even doing seated diving! They put swimming safety first so this is what they teach first! I was a lifeguard and taught swimming lessons, but the caliber of instructors here is superior to any I have seen. Kay has a great program and I know we will put both kiddos in next year. Oh--and everything is SUPER clean! We will recommend to everyone, Kay! Thanks!
We have been going to Kay’s for swim lessons every summer for the past 8 years. Both my kids started in the water babies classes. Swim instruction through Kay’s has been life saving for our family. In January 2019 we were eating at a restaurant that had a pool. My then 4 year old fell in the deep end. However, he did not panic. Instead he instinctively swam to the wall. Thank you to Kay and all her excellent instructors!
