Swim Lessons Hawai‘i

We ignite transformative swimming journeys by unlocking aquatic potential with confidence, strength, and joy.

Our Story

Swim Lesson Hawai‘i was established in 2015 by Oleksii Savenko who rapidly grew the company to become the largest swim school in the state of Hawaii. Oleksii and his team of instructors have successfully taught thousands of students of all ages and types, ranging from people just learning to be in the water, to recreational swimmers, competitive swimmers, surfers, free divers, lifeguards, rescue divers and special operations soldiers in the military. The school is continually committed to exceeding the needs and expectations of its clients.

Our Commitment

We are committed to exceeding the needs and expectations of all our parents and children. We believe that swimming should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or income level.

Our Mission

At Swim Lessons Hawaii, our mission is to empower individuals of all ages to learn how to swim and develop a strong connection with the water.
