Swimming Lessons
 We
are proud to announce the City of Edina is partnering with Martha Burns Swim
School to provide swimming lessons at the Edina Aquatic Center.
For more than 35 years, Martha Burns Swimming School has successfully taught and
trained thousands of confident swimmers of all ages. Children not only learn how
to swim, but also learn how to be comfortable in the water - a skill essential
for all Minnesotans. With our small class sizes, experienced instructors, and
supportive atmosphere, your child will thrive, building confidence, gaining
strength and improving stroke technique. Martha Burns Swimming School stands
above other programs as the premier swimming school in Minnesota. There are no
levels and no testing - only swim progression. Martha Burns Swimming School also
specializes in teaching children who have had trouble learning to swim in other
programs. All of our instructors share in Martha's passion for swimming and
teaching, and are eager to use her unique training techniques to encourage your
child to enjoy the water and become a swimmer or perfect their current skills.
