At McMillan Swim School, we believe swimming is a life-changing gift. Our founder, Heidi McMillan, brings over 30 years of experience as a collegiate swimmer, dedicated coach, and mother of six. Our mission is for children to feel safe and supported while progressing as quickly as possible to reduce the stress every parent has before their child is water-safe.

Heidi blends elite technical expertise with maternal warmth, focusing on patience, precision and joy.

For Heidi and her husband—both Walnut Creek Masters swimmers—the water is a way of life. Having seen how swimming has blessed their children's lives, they are on a mission to share that gift with the community.

"We don’t just teach strokes; we build a lifelong relationship with the water." - Heidi McMillan
