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.
