For more than 55 years, Frank’s Swim School has helped Toronto kids learn to swim with confidence, joy, and real technique. Our individualized instruction approach helps babies, toddlers, children and teens excel in a warm, supportive environment that feels more like community than curriculum. If you want swim lessons taught with patience, precision, and heart, you’re in the right place.
COME ON IN! Don’t tell 3-year-old Reva Kohn the water’s too deep. She can’t wait to make a splash. Besides, Frank Liebmann’s there to catch her.
Frank’s Swim School is the oldest, family-run swimming school for kids and teens in Toronto, North York, and the GTA, serving families since 1968. Founded by Frank Liebmann and currently operated by his son, Michael Liebmann, we’ve been teaching kids to swim for over five decades.
We’re affiliated with the Lifesaving Society and utilize the Lifesaving Awards and SWIM Award System, the most widely used in Canada. Moreover, we’re proud to be recognized as an educational institution by the Government of Ontario, providing students with the best swimming instruction in the Greater Toronto area and nearby communities.
FIRST FRONT CRAWL STROKES! Let’s dive into the fundamentals of front crawl strokes with Michael Liebmann, mastering the technique of side-breathing.
Your child will transition from basic swim skills to more advanced techniques, including the front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke. Around the age of 11, swimming students typically choose between two different paths or decide to pursue both. One is the Lifesaving and Instructor path, which enables them to work in aquatic facilities, while the other prepares them for a more competitive stream in Swimming Competitions.
We proudly teach out of two premium indoor facilities, each with easy access for families across Toronto and the GTA. Warm water, clean spaces, and familiar routines help kids settle in quickly and thrive week after week.
Frank’s Swim School clients get a discount at Human Moves Day Camp & Soccer Program. Our partner company (under same ownership as Frank’s Swim School), Human Moves, offers a variety of programs for children 4 to 14 years old, such as a Summer Camp, March Break, Soccer Program, and more!
For generations, parents have entrusted their children to us because we keep things simple and focused:
We’re not flashy. We’re not corporate. We’re consistent, caring, and committed to helping children learn to swim.
We are affiliated with the Lifesaving Society and use the Lifesaving Awards and Swim Award System, the most widely used in Canada.
The skills required to receive a swimming award are very demanding. However, at Frank’s Swim School, we help children bridge the gap where necessary to ensure that every child gets their badge.
Frank’s half badges are designed to always have a reward of a badge when a student is not able to totally complete a level to encourage and show that the student is partway through the appropriate level.
Parents tell us the same thing year after year: “I wish we’d found you sooner.”
If you’re ready for lessons taught with patience, expertise, and genuine heart, explore our programs or contact us anytime.
Frank’s Swim School clients can book up to 2 make-up lessons per session for a day and time slot that is available for their child, considering their target level.
This applies only to our regular lessons for Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Patrol Awards. Special programs (Parent & Child, Bronze Awards, Swim Team, and National Lifeguard & Swim Instructor) don’t have a make-up policy.
