About the Business

Stewie the Duck Swim School, located at 55 Westport Avenue in Norwalk, Connecticut, is a unique institution with a powerful mission. Founded by parents who tragically lost their son in a drowning accident, the school aims to prevent future tragedies by providing essential swim lessons to children. With a focus on water safety awareness, the school has raised over $6 million through the Stew Leonard III Water Safety Foundation and has published two books on the subject.

Stewie the Duck Swim School is committed to saving lives, one lesson at a time, and all profits from the school go towards funding free or low-cost swim lessons for children in need. The goal is to provide at least 20,000 free swimming lessons annually, making a real impact in the community.

Reviews
"We have loved our experience at Stewie’s! It is so well run, organized, clean, it’s such a pleasure to take my daughter there. Miss Valerie is an absolute Angel and an excellent instructor - she gets on my daughter’s level (who previously wanted nothing to do with swimming) and we have seen so much improvement. She is so kind and patient. A great place!"
"Never had a problem here and staff is friendly I would recommend you send your child here to learn to swim it’s a great place. I have been going here since it opened and everyone is so nice and fun to be with. The swim instructors always give equal focus on each student and make sure we are learning to do strokes correctly. Right now Nerayah is my swim instructor and she’s a great teacher. She helped me improve my strokes and breathing techniques. Since I been going here my swimming has improved for sure."
"Highly recommend Stewie the Duck Swim School! My 4 year old started private lessons with Ms Heidi (we absolutely adore her) 3 months ago and she can now swim independently! I am still shocked with the amazing results we have gotten in such a short period of time. Staff is absolutely incredible! I could go on for days but to sum it up - ABSOLUTE YES! The best swim school with the most incredible staff!! My 18 month old and I are starting the mommy and me class as well"
"We have been going to swim lessons for a little over a month now and it has been an amazing experience. The facility is well equipped and very clean. Our instructor, Nerayah, is very knowledgeable and incredibly sweet with the kids. She is very enthusiastic, and helps the kids get out of their comfort zone, without putting any pressure on them. My 2-year-old is always excited to go to his swim classes, and it has been a great bonding experience (and it makes naps much easier!). I feel much safer with my son near water. I would recommend this class to anyone."
"Highly recommend Stewie the Duck Swim School. We knew about the Leonard family’s tragedy, and signed our kids up (3yo and 4yo) when we heard about their mission and plans to open the school. I actually think it's their mission and dedication that shines through and really set this place apart. I can honestly say that we’ve been impressed and happy from the start. The space itself is cheerful and clean, with thoughtful amenities like swim suit driers, quality hairdryers and coffee for adults. As far as instructors go, Sara is truly a stand-out. Our kids are completely attached and still can’t wait to go and see her every week. It’s clear she is genuinely invested in their progress and we’re so grateful as we watch it happen."
