Kicking off the new year, the performance-based SafeSplash Swim School has brought its program for swimming and safety skills to the Austin area.

The school serves swimmers of all ages and skill levels, providing a variety of lesson options under certified teachers, including group, semi-private and private swim lessons.

“Our mission is to make learning to swim a positive, empowering experience for everyone, whether they are beginners or looking to improve their skills,” General Manager Emily Welch said in a statement. “We are proud to be a part of this community and eager to help families stay safe and confident around water.”

The local franchise is owned and operated by Siva Papolu and Shrikar Somayajula. The duo has also opened another recent SafeSplash Swim School location in Round Rock.
