About

Tiburon Swim Academy, located at 249 Lexington St, Waltham, MA 02452, USA, is a premier learn-to-swim facility offering lessons for infants, children, and adults. It provides a safe and positive learning environment with state-of-the-art amenities and highly trained instructors.

The pool at Tiburon Swim Academy is heated to a comfortable 90 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 32 degrees Celsius).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Tiburon Swim School consistently receives glowing reviews, praised for its ability to deliver rapid and significant swimming progress, often exceeding results from other schools. Parents frequently highlight the exceptional, friendly, and encouraging coaches (including Jack, Jaden, Kareena, Mack, Nat, Marcus, Rob, and James) who excel at building trust and confidence in children, even those initially fearful of the water. The low student-to-instructor ratio (1:1 or 2:1) is noted as a key factor in effective skill development and individualized attention. Children as young as 15 months gain strong independent swimming skills, providing parents with peace of mind. While acknowledged as potentially more expensive, the outstanding results and positive experience make it highly recommended and considered a worthwhile investment.

Nothing but good things to say! We did 5 consecutive 30-minute individual lessons for our 6 year old and 3 year old. Neither was able to float or swim beforehand, though both were comfortable in the water. By the middle of the week, both girls progressed a ton and our 6 year old is now able to confidently swim on her own! Coach Jack was so friendly and fun, and I would recommend him to anyone.

More expensive than majority of the other swim schools in the area but 100% worth it. My 3 and 5 year olds made more progress in 1 month than compared to 1+ years at other swim schools. 1:1 or at most 2:1 instructor to student ratio, distinct swim techniques, and friendly coaches make this place stand out. In addition to weekly classes, we also did multiple 1 week swim clinics which really helped hone existing skills. We have worked with multiple coaches including Mack, Nat, Marcus, Rob, James. Can't really go wrong anyone. Highly recommend!

Our 4 year old was very afraid of swimming independently until we did a week long clinic with Jaden. In a matter of days, our son was swimming on his own! Since starting weekly lessons, we continue to see great progress. Coach Jaden is amazing. He is calm but encouraging and has helped our son face his fears. Now they are best buds! Cannot recommend Tiburon & Jaden enough.

Tiburon has been the best school for our family! Our oldest son started at 2.5 and our second at 15 months. They’re both incredibly strong and independent in the water and it’s a blessing to not have to worry about them on family vacations. They absolutely love their coaches and love going to swim class every week.

We’ve had an incredible experience with Coach Kareena! From day one, it was clear that she has a special gift for working with kids. The way she builds trust and connection is truly remarkable - our child immediately felt comfortable and motivated in the water. Coach Kareena has an exceptional ability to break down techniques in a way that’s easy for our son to understand, while also making lessons fun and engaging. What sets her apart is also her focus on long-term progression. We’ve seen consistent growth not only in swimming skills but also in confidence and discipline. The combination of top-notch coaching and genuine care has made a lasting impact on our son’s swimming journey. We’re so grateful for Coach Kareena's dedication and expertise — highly recommend!
