Welcome to K.I.S.S.

Kayne's Instructional Swim School is typically referred to by the acronym, K.I.S.S. We teach year-round swim lessons in San Clemente, California & have been doing so for 20+ years. We're contracted by the City of San Clemente's recreation division & utilize the amazing pools at the San Clemente Aquatics Center; & on occasion, we also use the Ole Hansen Beach Club pools. Our family-oriented teaching style focuses on water confidence & improving many necessary skills that are needed when living in a beach community like San Clemente, Capistrano Beach, Dana Point, Laguna & many more local coastal cities. To view current lesson availability please navigate to the "Aquatics" tab On This Page.

About K.I.S.S. Lessons

We offer lessons for all ages & all skill levels. The only exception is that children have to be over 3 years old & potty trained. The year-round lessons we offer are:

Private Lessons:
This is a year-round program offering one-on-one swim instruction for children & adults specializing in everything from first time swimmers to competitive swimmers to adult lessons.

Typically, these lessons are done on a Monday/Wednesday OR Tuesday/Thursday basis from 9:00am-12:00pm & 3:15pm-7:00pm depending on the season (Summer months are Mon-Thurs).
