Five Star Swim School - Lehigh Valley

You may have noticed that all of our pools use a saltwater system! And we get lots of questions about why we choose saltwater for our swimmers.

Saltwater pools are safe to swim in and use salt to help produce the sanitizing agents needed to keep the water clean and safe.

And don’t worry, our water is nowhere near as salty as the ocean! It’s about 1/10 the salinity of seawater.

For little swimmers, one of the biggest benefits is comfort. Our saltwater system is gentler on skin, hair, and eyes, helping make every swim lesson a more enjoyable experience.

A little future swimmer in the making!

We love watching our students grow, move from class to class, level up, and gain new skills and confidence in the water.

By introducing swimming in a gentle and supportive way, we help children build trust in themselves and their surroundings. And that confidence doesn’t stay in the water, it can carry over into school, social settings, and so many other activities.

Backpacks ready, goggles on, let’s dive into a new school year together! 📚

The new school season is just around the corner, and at Five Star Swim School, we believe swimming deserves a spot in your child’s weekly routine.

To kick off the season, we are giving a special welcome gift to all new families who enroll in classes between August 15 and September 30, 2026.

The gift includes a tote bag, a Tickle stuffed toy & towel, and is available for new families only. Terms and conditions apply.

One of our favorite things to hear from parents is that their kids look forward to swim lessons every week.
At Five Star, we’ve created a welcoming and supportive environment where our students can feel comfortable and at home in the water.

It’s also always summer at our schools as our warm saltwater pools feel inviting no matter what the weather is like outside.☀️

As summer slowly comes to an end, swimming is the perfect activity to keep the momentum going. Every splash in the pool helps kids build confidence, focus, and persistence.

Kids learn that mistakes aren’t failures; they’re simply steps toward success. And those little swim victories don’t just stay in the pool. They help kids face new challenges with confidence, stay focused when things get tough, and believe in themselves.

Look who stopped by to say hello! ⭐️

Tickle loves welcoming new swimmers to the pool and cheering them on every step of the way. He's always ready with a smile, encouragement, and plenty of high-fins!

And if you ask Tickle what his favorite swim exercise is...

It's the Tickle-T Snap! We think it's pretty fun too. 😊

Big progress starts with small groups. 💙

We keep our classes small and have one of the best student-to-instructor ratios, so every child gets the attention, encouragement, and guidance they need to feel confident and have fun in the water.
