Vamos Youth

Vamos Youth is a swim and ocean-safety academy that has served the Guanacaste area since 2016. It is affiliated with the Royal Life Saving Society. Programs include group swim lessons, private swim lessons at home for all ages, open-water training, an AquaBaby program for young children, and the Junior Lifesaver program during school holidays. It also teaches first aid and CPR certification courses and provides lifeguards for private events.

Reviews mention holiday camps held on the beach in Tamarindo, while the website lists an address in Playa Grande. With help from donations, the program sponsors local children to learn swimming and lifesaving skills.

Vamos Youth is consistently well reviewed. Parents describe children gaining confidence in the ocean, learning rescue and surf skills, and enjoying the camps. Adults who took the first aid and CPR course found it practical and educational; one suggested adding key technical terms in both English and Spanish.
