Alli Jo's Swim School

OWN YOUR OWN POOL?! This is Ms. Emmie! We have begged her to come to San Diego and help us with East County travel lessons! We are thrilled she’ll be here all month! The convenience of lessons in your backyard with a seasoned instructor! Sept 8-17 AND Sept 21-Oct 1 have openings!

Our last swim school really seemed to drag out the process... We hear that all the time. You’ve been going weekly for years with little to show for it. Unfortunately, that seems to be the business model for some swim schools. Get people signed up and drag it out. Because $$$$. Here’s the thing: that’s over hundreds of weekends. Full of parties, time near water for San Diegans. For us, that’s not our business model! It’s an ethical issue. We want your kiddos water-safe as quickly as possible! Our business model is happy customers tell their friends and we live in an area of 3 million- there are plenty of kiddos to teach!

Are you following us on Instagram? All of our last minute openings are posted there!

How do you celebrate graduating surf lessons? Mom hands you a lollipop as you ride in

CPR & First Aid Training was last weekend for Team AJSS! It seems we all share a love for water, safety and Thai food! @bahnthaisd you never disappoint!

It’s so fun to be back in the water getting kiddos water-safe! 2020 is a big year for us! We have added 4 new teachers (both surf and swim) and have very exciting news relating to HQ2! More to come later this week!

We strongly believe in shopping local and it doesn’t get any more local than next door neighbors! They have set up a farm stand in the swim school parking lot! Fuerte avocados from their tree, eggs from their chickens, flowers from their yard... plus handmade leather bows, coconut almond granola, lavender lattes and berry lemonade. It’s pretty magical Graduation Day at @allijosswimschool just got a whole lot sweeter!

Merry Christmas from Team AJSS! So thankful for this group of amazing humans! It just wouldn’t be our style to have an indoor Christmas party, so we celebrated on the water at @coasterra Next year we want to book @aolanicatamaran #allijosswimschool #dreamteam #watersafety #sailsandiego

Introducing @gladlycoffee_sd (formerly Butler’s). Their coffee, chai and Açaí bowls are going to become a staple when you come to Casa de Oro for swim lessons! Parents of littles, you know how valuable that drive thru is! #shoplocal #acaibowl #drivethrucoffee #swimlessons #allijosswimschool

That’s a wrap! 2019 season is in the books! Kelsey (always a good sport) was a hula girl for our last lesson early this Halloween morning! We will send out dates for Spring 2020 the first week of January
