Shepard Swim School in Elkhart has taught children and adults to swim since 1996, offering group and private lessons, survival-technique instruction, competitive swim training, and water aerobics in a 92-degree pool with small 4:1 classes. It is a swim-lesson school rather than a summer camp.

★Rikita JuniousMoney hungry and horrible service. So happy I unenrolled my son and don’t have to worry about this in July. Since I’ve already been charged he’s going to finish out these last few classes for June unfortunately!
★★★★★Phoukanh KhamphanhGreat experience and small classes. Each instructor has at most 4 kids at a time within the 30 minutes that they are with them. Everyone is really nice and the water is pretty warm for the children so they don't freeze. Staff is really nice as well.
★★★★★RosannaOh my grandchildren are getting swim lessons because we live on the river. The people there are awesome and very helpful in teaching the children how to handle themselves in the water.
★★★★★Steve CohenWe’ve been long time Shepard customers with all of our children, and their swim programs are second to none! All of my kids were introduced to the water, developed confidence and have learned appropriate swim skills over the years. They also do a great job with birthday parties. We highly recommend them!
★★★★★GoodMorning WorldShepard Swim School has been teaching swimming lessons and water safety lessons to my kids for many years now. We absolutely love them for keeping my kids safe and also teaching me (the parent) on how to keep my kids safe while in the water. They are our heros!
