Learning how to swim is important — no matter your age. Want to dive in? Good news for northsiders: Carmel Swim Academy is open.

The new 10,000-sqft facility opened mid-July at 830 City Center Dr. on the west side of the Carmel Total Fitness building.

The Carmel Swim Academy was inspired by the need for families in the area to have a safe place to learn lifelong skills, such as water safety, swimming competency, and the value of wellness.

The training pool has six 25-yard swimming lanes + an attached shallow-water instructional area. The facility includes a mezzanine where parents can watch swim lessons, as well as family-friendly locker rooms.

Carmel Swim Academy is open to all ages and includes space to teach 1,300+ children per week, plus 55 hours of adult-focused programs per week — like water aerobics, adult swim instruction, and infant-caregiver classes. The facility will also offer up to 1,600 children free lessons each year. Schedule swim lessons.
