Hayden & Ben Wooten

Owners | Instructors

Ben and Hayden founded Tiny Fins in 2019 with a mission to help save lives through Survival Swim lessons. Both were trained by the Survival Swim Development Network and are passionate about watching kids grow in confidence and skill.

As parents, we understand the anxiety that comes with being near water- and we know you want your child to be a safe swimmer.

Since the day we opened our doors, we’ve helped children as young as six months old learn to survive in the water.

Together with families like yours, we can eradicate drowning—one child at a time.
