teaching swim lessons and water safety for infants, kids, and adults
of all skill levels.
From learn-to-swim students to competitive swimmers, our
experience allows us to tailor our program to meet the specific
need of each student. Private or small group classes provide
the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with highly trained
instructors, so each student receives personal attention and
maximum benefit. Steve Wallen Swim School started modestly in
Steve Wallen's backyard pool and has grown into one of the most
popular and respected swim schools in the area. We now offer
two state-of-the-art indoor, heated facilities in El Dorado Hills and
Roseville.
Contact us today about our baby and me, private, semi-private,
or group swim lessons as well as our competitive classes for more
advanced swimmers. Programs are available Monday - Thursday
9:00am - 7:00pm and Sunday from 9:00am - 1:15pm.
Come see why Steve Wallen Swim School has been
voted #1 BEST SWIM SCHOOL in Folsom/EDH and

Happy Swimming!

Learning Leads to Purpose at Merryhill School
At Merryhill School Roseville, education is designed to shape confident learners
and compassionate leaders. The private school offers a dynamic, student-centered
environment where academics, character, and community connection work together to
create meaningful learning experiences.
A hallmark of the campus is its student-led, compassion-driven culture. Through an
active Student Council, students across grade levels are empowered to represent their
peers and lead service initiatives that make a real impact. From supporting the Placer
SPCA to organizing holiday donations for foster families and participating in the Kids
Heart Challenge, students learn that leadership begins with empathy and action.
Academically, Merryhill School builds a strong foundation starting in its proprietary
preschool program, where learning and play are thoughtfully balanced to spark
curiosity and confidence. As students grow, engaging instruction, communityconnected
field trips, and enriching clubs such as art, technology, and sports encourage
creativity, collaboration, and skill development beyond the classroom. Further, as
an Apple Distinguished School, classes integrate technology in purposeful ways. For
example, during trimester Student-Led Conferences, students take ownership of their
progress by creating presentations with tools like Keynote and iMovie.
With a supportive school culture at the center of it all, Merryhill
School Roseville offers more than an education—it offers a place
where students learn to lead with heart.
Contact us to schedule a tour and learn about the benefits of a
Merryhill School education.
