At Vista Swim Academy, we believe swimming is more than a life-saving skill — it’s the foundation for confidence, independence, and lifelong enjoyment of the water. Enrolling in lessons at a young age helps children develop trust in themselves, conquer anxieties, build resilience, and form healthy movement patterns that benefit them far beyond the pool.

Our weekly lessons help swimmers:

• Overcome fear or uncertainty in the water

• Build self-confidence and emotional regulation

• Develop balance, coordination, and strong motor patterns

• Thrive in a small-group, supportive learning environment

• Learn essential water safety skills that grow with them

Every Vista instructor completes an in-depth, in-house training program focused on early childhood development, water safety, communication, and positive reinforcement. Our mission is to develop lifelong, joyful swimmers — not rushed or fearful ones.

Mission Statement

Vista Swim Academy empowers children to become confident, safe, and joyful swimmers through developmentally focused instruction, warm-water learning, and a supportive family-centered environment.
We believe in steady progress, emotional safety, and celebrating every milestone along the way.

Core Values

1. Safety First

Every decision — from lesson structure to facility design — is grounded in water safety research, best practices, and child development.

2. Comfort & Confidence

Students learn best when they feel secure. We meet each child where they are, helping them grow at a pace that supports emotional and physical readiness.

3. Progress with Purpose

We focus on strong foundational skills, muscle memory, and whole-child development to create safe, skilled swimmers — not quick fixes.

4. Family Partnership

Parents are essential teammates. We prioritize communication, transparency, and guidance throughout each swimmer’s journey.

5. Joyful Learning

Learning should feel encouraging and fun. Our instructors use positive reinforcement, clear communication, and play-based elements to build trust and excitement.

6. Community Matters

Vista Swim Academy is deeply rooted in the Hill Country community and committed to serving local families with warmth, consistency, and heart.

Our Facility

Located in the Texas Hill Country, Vista Swim Academy is proud to operate the first indoor swim school in Kendall County. Our warm-water pool is purpose-built for year-round lessons, designed to help swimmers learn in a safe, welcoming environment.

Families are invited to relax in our comfortable lobby, enjoy the upstairs mezzanine seating, or sip a warm beverage while watching their children grow in confidence and skill.

Vista Swim Academy was founded by Shiloh Korom, who has been swimming since childhood and teaching lessons for over 15 years. Water has always been a source of confidence, comfort, and joy in her life — whether she was at the pool, a lake, or the ocean.

After relocating from California to Texas in 2016, Shiloh dreamed of creating a safe, development-focused swim school that honored both water safety and childhood joy. Today, she proudly serves families across Boerne, San Antonio, Helotes, Bulverde, Comfort, and the surrounding Hill Country.
