Nora Martin Swim School, Austin:
The Nora Martin Swim School in Austin, Texas, is a private Swimming School offering individual and group lessons to children & adults of all ability levels. Students are taught so that they are comfortable swimming underwater & able to take a breath before moving on to more complex skills. Since the back float & elementary backstroke are crucial life saving skills, they are taught along with proper underwater swimming first. Beginner & novice level swimmers learn step by step diving technique as well.

About Nora Martin Swim School:

Photo of Swim Lessons in Austin, TXThe Martin family has been teaching swimming in Austin since 1968! The family teaches in Dallas and San Antonio as well as Austin. Nora Martin has been teaching swimming (Power Swimmers) and developmental gymnastics (Mighty Tumblers) in Austin for the past 30 years. Our "child-directed" teaching approach is the cornerstone of our success. When a person's feelings are acknowledged and respected, the student feels safe and trusts the instructor and themselves as well. Learning takes off from that point on!
