Since 1992, Atlantis School of Swim has produced thousands of confident swimmers in the Burlington, Oakville, Waterdown, Hamilton, Milton & Mississauga areas! Our high quality instruction with proven teaching methods, flexible scheduling allowing families to swim at the same time, low-ratio classes and experienced staff, have earned us an excellent reputation in the learn-to-swim and competitive swim world.
Our staff are a diverse group of individuals who love kids and have a passion for swimming! Most of our employees are part-time and when they are not enjoying their work at Atlantis School of Swim, they are furthering their education, working as teachers, healthcare workers, early childhood educators, national level coaches or taking care of their own families at home. This diversity rounds out our school, as we bring lots of experience to our classes.
A Year-Round Approach to swimming is encouraged at Atlantis School of Swim. Swimming a few weeks during the summer each year is expecting a lot. Younger swimmers or swimmers dealing with a fear of the water need time, consistency and repetition to develop a solid foundation of swimming skills. This takes time and practice. Most of our clients swim once or twice a week year-round. This consistent and relaxed exposure to the water is key and allows swimmers to better retain skills gained. Learning a life skill like swimming takes time and even the best swimmers in the world practice regularly.

TESTIMONIAL: I just wanted to say thank you for the swimming lessons you have provided my daughters over the years! We came to you after being frustrated with the Community Centre classes. All I wanted was for my girls to be proficient swimmers, but they got more than that at Atlantis! They have recently started competitive swimming with Mississauga and are doing so well. I have to say quite often over the years people have commented on the girls' beautiful technique. We just wanted to say thank you so much! I will pass along the name Atlantis to anyone who asks. - Kathy
