Learn How To Swim at MarTar Swim School
Our swim lessons are designed around the individual. Rather than categorize swim lessons by levels, we look at each individual student’s experience and ability and meet them at their level. We work with students of all ages, starting at 2 months old and continuing through adulthood.






We Specialize In Working With Individuals With Disabilities
MarTar Swim School specializes in teaching swim lessons for individuals with special needs, including both children and adults with autism, down syndrome, ADHD, PDD, cerebral palsy, and visual or auditory impairments.
During our swim lessons we use a variety of modifications, adaptations and techniques including visual aids and sign language.
