Our facilities

We can accommodate all your needs because we have two pools specifically designed for optimum instruction.

Our small pool is designed with young swimmers in mind. It has large steps, shallow water, and we enclose it for winter comfort.

The large pool is used by advanced little ones and older age groups who require more space. It also provides plenty of room for our weekend swim meets and adult classes. Both pools are bathtub warm.(90°-93°)

"Best Swim School in the OC!"

I don't buy or sign up for anything without researching, reading reviews or recommendations. Blue Buoy was recommended by a few parents and so far, we've been happy with the results. Everywhere we go swimming, people admire on how well our 3 1/2 year old swims. The pools are warm all year round and their staff are very friendly. We've researched other swim schools in the area, private instructors, etc., but Blue Bouy is worth every penny we have spent on our boys.
