About Us:

Photo of Learn to Swim in the Seattle Metro Area, WAOrca Swim School was founded in 1999 by Bruce and Cori Myka. They started the school for the purpose of offering high quality lessons to children and adults in the belief that learning to swim is an individual journey. Their goal is to teach people how to be safe in and around the water without fear or stress by teaching them how the body works in the water.

Adult Classes:
Orca is proud to teach MSI's method of learning how to be free in all water. This method teaches students how to stay in control, never feel panic, and let the skills of swimming come easily. Our beginning and next step class instruction skips no steps and keeps you learning in the most optimal way. This program is unlike any other swim program. If you have ever taken lessons before and felt that something is missing, you were right. We will fill in the steps, and you will be amazed.
