Pearl Krongard Swim School has been teaching swimming lessons for over 45 years. We have taught hundreds of people the joy of swimming, and have found great satisfaction and success in introducing swimming to people for the first time. We teach both private and semi-private swim lessons, in the water with the student. We have found that private one-on-one learning is the fastest and most effective way to learn the fundamentals of breathing, floating and stroke. We have developed our own style, with technique and methodology that works for each individual. PK Swims’ approach is very thorough and systematic and based on teaching specific skills in a specific sequence. All our instructors are very loving and patient, but also firm when needed. At PK Swim we work with the student (and parents) to tailor the swim lessons for each student.

We are also equipped to teach individuals with special needs, including children and adults with autism, down syndrome, and cerebral palsy, swim lessons to help them learn the skills they’ll need throughout life to stay safe near water.

Our Lessons are conveniently located for Columbia, Ellicott City, Fort Meade, Baltimore or BWI areas.

Ms. Pearl is the best swimming teacher I have has the pleasure of meeting. Her kindness and compassion for her students really shows and achieves results. My son can now swim with confidence in an Olympic size pool! He has taken previous lessons in the past but only Ms. Pearl has successfully taught him how to swim. My husband is next 😉

My 7-year old daughter has loved her swimming lessons with Miss Pearl and has emphatically declared that she will only take lessons from Miss Pearl and no one else, anywhere, ever. Day 1 she was scared and would not put her face in the water. By day 10 she was swimming by herself in the deep end and putting her face in the water confidently. She has had 20 lessons now, and has learned more in those 20 lessons than my son did in 6 sessions of 6-week group lessons. Private lessons are more expensive, but not when you consider the amount of teacher time you pay for. In a group lesson, a student may get 5-8 minutes of teacher time each class. In a private lesson, you get every single minute. Now my daughter is eager to jump in the deep end and swim with her face in the water, and refuses to leave the pool. I would do this again.

Private Lessons
One student and one teacher, are the most effective and efficient method for teaching swimming. Each swimming lesson is tailored to the student and immediate feedback encourages quick and effective learning.
Semi-Private Lessons
Where two students work with one teacher, are most effective when the two students are at the same stage of proficiency and progress at the same rate. Often, competition between the students improves the learning experience.
Adults
Learn to swim for a variety of reasons, and lessons are tailored for the individual student needs. I have taught parents who wish to keep up with their kids, and other adults that have never learned to swim. I have also taught scuba students that wish to improve their endurance for their certification, and I have helped runners and bikers improve their strokes to become tri-athletes.
Covid Protical
All of our instructors have been vaccinated for Covid-19

Covid-19 Important Information to Know:

Thank you for your patience during Covid-19. We are excited to announce that we are now open for swim lessons.

Dear clients, as stated by the CDC, there is no current evidence that the virus can be transmitted in a well-maintained pool. Here is a list of precautionary measures that we will be following when the pool reopens:

  1. Everyone including staff members, students, parents or guardians will be asked to take a self - assessment to confirm that they are not sick. This will allow for entrance to the pool area and complete scheduled swim lessons.
  2. Temperature taken of kids, parents and staff members are no longer required.
  3. Face coverings are mandatory inside the facility.
  4. Instructors are wearing clear face shields.
  5. The use of hand sanitizer will be mandatory as soon as entering the facility and after signing in.
  6. In order to enter and exit the facility in a safe manner we ask that everyone enter the pool area through the door that is by the desk and exit through the door that is near the gate. (all doors will remain open at all times to avoid spread of germs and bacteria).
  7. To avoid crowded areas we ask that one parent or guardian accompanies students to the swim lessons. (Video recordings and/or pictures are allowed during the swim lesson).
  8. Everyone who is watching (parents or guardians) must sit or stand 6ft apart from each other to allow social distancing.
  9. Unfortunately, swimming before or after swimming lessons will not be allowed unless there are fewer than 8 people in the pool.
  10. Please bring your own towels and swim goggles. (Purchase of goggles will be available for sale if needed)
  11. Wrapped up candy provided for kids and students.
  12. Kickboards or rings used for learning during the swim lesson will be disinfected and sanitized.

In addition, the number of swimming instructors will be limited to 4 at a time. The day will be split between instructors to allow social distancing between instructors and students. Therefore, changes in schedule may occur depending on the times you have booked your swimming lessons. We will try our best to rearrange schedules and help everyone as much as we can. Please give us a call at 443-845-4200 to find out your instructor's schedule and make changes if needed.

Thank you for understanding and we hope you and your family are well and healthy.
-Pearl Krongard.
