The Lenny Krayzelburg Swim Academy on the Westside of Los Angeles is a swimming school offering a variety of classes to children & adults of all ages and levels. Started in 2005 by 4 time Olympic Gold Medalist Lenny Krayzelburg, "our core purpose is to teach and inspire children to be water safe". Since our inception we have taught thousands of kids’ water safety and the importance of knowing how to swim.

- Four-time Olympic gold medalist from the 2000, 2004 Olympic Games.
Lenny's American swimming career began at the JCCs of Los Angeles, soon after he moved to the U.S. with his parents from Ukraine in 1989 when he was 13. As a teen, Lenny competed in the JCC Maccabi Games in Detroit, Michigan in 1990 and Baltimore, Maryland in 1992. Now Lenny is back to with the JCC’s starting a new and exciting program. Lenny, who owns the school will also supervise and train staff in the SwimRight Method, he believes this method is the most successful for teaching children to swim and be water safe.

SwimRight Method:
Our Learn-to-Swim program features six levels in the SwimRight Method that was developed by Lenny Krayzelburg and his staff. SwimRight is a sophisticated, result driven approach that has evolved from other methods over a period of 40 years, and is a synthesis of the best philosophies and most advanced thinking in the field. This method is based on progressive learning techniques, so that within their first set of lessons, children greatly improve their chances to save themselves if they purposely or accidentally enter into any body of water.

Swim-float-swim Technique:
The SwimRight curriculum uses the swim-float-swim technique as its foundation. All students are taught first to have an instinct to roll over onto their backs to breathe, which provides them with the ultimate tool for saving themselves in a time of need. Additionally, this approach provides the proper body positioning for learning the strokes. Step by step, building upon these core mechanics, students develop impeccable form in the four competitive strokes.

Our Mission:
- To make every student watersafe.
- To provide an environment where everyone learns and enjoy the benefits of swimming.
- To help each student increase self-confidence and independence through swimming.
