About the PhD Swim School
PhD Swim School, located at 2105 North Carolina 54 in Durham, North Carolina, is a health-focused institution offering swim classes for children aged crawling through 8 years old who cannot swim and float independently. The classes at PhD Swim School are designed to build on previous survival skills, with maintenance classes focusing on age-appropriate motor coordination. Students are required to take a Swim Assessment to determine the correct class type for their skill level.
The survival program at PhD Swim School teaches students how to save themselves in aquatic accidents with confidence, while the maintenance program helps students swim faster and more competently than any other swim school in the area. Before enrolling in weekly classes, students must either complete the Survival program or demonstrate their ability to attain and maintain survival skills such as back float, rolling from front to back, and swimming with their face in the water.
Instructors at PhD Swim School have undergone extensive training in the school's method, with Katie B. leading the team. Katie is a former sprint triathlete and triathlete coach with experience teaching fearful adult beginners how to swim. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and has prior experience in accounting and business administration. Katie's strengths lie in class organization, maintaining structure in a fun environment, and building trust with her students.
At PhD Swim School, students progress through different levels of swimming proficiency, from Beginning Stroke to Advanced and Competitive levels. Each level has specific requirements that students must meet before advancing to the next stage. Whether your child is just starting to learn how to swim or is looking to improve their competitive swimming skills, PhD Swim School offers a supportive and structured environment for growth and development.

Reviews of PhD Swim School
"This is some of the best money I’ve ever spent. Our daughter began survival at 11 months and she screamed and cried - but we are so glad we stuck with it, because by the end of the several-week survival session, she was feeling comfortable and aok in the water. Now at 2.5 years old, she can swim and float and roll from one to the other by herself. She LOVES her time in lessons. She adores all pools and bodies of water. Shout out to coach Alasha who is an INCREDIBLE instructor - including being patient with our concerns and reassuring us in the beginning, when our daughter was scared. Our daughter is now very attached to Alasha and talks about her occasionally between lessons. I’m beyond thrilled that our little one is safe in the water and so so happy swimming!!"
"My daughter has taken classes here consistently since 2018, taking her first class, Survival, when she was 3. She has turned into a confident swimmer and has always looked forward to her weekly class. My advice after being at PhD for 5 years: 1) Schedule. Yes, it can be tricky to get a class time that works for your family, but it was worth the first few seasons of setting phone alarms to hop on and sign up for a class until we were able to move into a slot that worked really well for us for several years. 2) Bring some noise protection. This is optional, but I started bringing earplugs so my nerves didn't spike hearing the Survival babies. It's normal for them to be distressed the first few weeks of session and does get better, but it really set me on edge so earplugs were the ticket. 3) If you get discouraged about progress, give it some time. We went through about 6 months of a hard time when my kid was about 5. Everything was fine at school and home but swim class was rough. I almost pulled her out because she wasn't making any progress, was not having a good time, and I was worried that it wouldn't get better. Turns out it was a developmental milestone she was working through, and when we made it through that rough patch she had a HUGE spike in learning...like, overnight....and it was pretty exciting for everyone. Thanks for many great years, PhD!"
"I cannot recommend PhD Swim School enough! My child has been attending for a couple of years now, and the progress she has made is truly remarkable. Specific thanks to Coach GiGi, who is an excellent instructor and is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. She has a gentle approach that motivates my child to learn and improve swimming technique while having fun at the same time. What I appreciate most about PhD Swim School is the focus on safety. They take the time to ensure that my child understands how to swim safely and confidently in the water. They also emphasize proper technique, which will be invaluable as my child continues to develop swimming skills. The environment at PhD Swim School is fantastic. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I feel confident that my child is in good hands there. Overall, I highly recommend Coach GiGi and PhD Swim School to anyone looking for high-quality swim lessons in Durham, NC."
"Both my kids did survival swim here after not making a ton of progress at regular swim lessons. Within one summer, the difference in both kids' confidence in the water and skill level was ASTOUNDING. They both love the pool now (even my daughter, who previously had to leave other swim lessons since she was too afraid), and I am so much more comfortable with their ability to float well and stay safe in the water. Coach Gigi, who worked with my 3 year old, was especially wonderful in connecting with my son (he would be laughing and giggling the whole time during class!). While we won't be continuing with PhD due to relocating, we would highly recommend the survival swim lessons!"
"My daughter spent 18 months in classes at another swim school where she had lots of fun. However, when she was knocked into a pool by her cousin, we realized SHE COULD NOT SWIM. After 1 session (8 weeks) at PHD she was survival swimming. After session 2, she was jumping off the diving board and going down the water slide completely unassisted! Their program is amazing and most importantly EFFECTIVE. (She was 3 when she started.) My twins started at 15 months and can both survival float."
