Swim Float Swim Lessons

Swim float swim lessons at Tiny Fins teach your child life saving water skills through our proven one on one instruction method, emphasizing the swim-float-swim technique.

How Swim Lessons Work

We teach a muscle memory technique to help your child know what to do in a water emergency

Lessons for Swimmers at Every Level

At Tiny Fins we believe in providing every child with every opportunity to learn survival swim skills. That’s why we have lessons for every age and every skill level.

One-on-One Survival Swim Lessons

One-on-one survival swim lessons are 15-minute individualized lessons for ALL ages. Shorter, more frequent lessons are one reason why our swim-float-swim technique is so effective. Your child will learn true survival swim skills to rescue themselves in a water emergency — building confidence and ability in and around the water at their own pace.

Parent-Tot Swim Class

Parent-Tot Swim is a 25-minute class designed to acclimate your child to the water in a fun and safe environment.

Your baby will learn the very basics in survival swim fundamentals (breath control, forward movement, and floating) while building gross motor skills, bonding, and getting ready for private survival swim lessons.

We recommend parent-tot for ages 6-28 months. We offer both morning and evening classes to fit your schedule!

Survival Swim

Infant Survival Swim lessons are highly specialized one-on-one survival swim lessons that teach your baby to roll over from a facedown (submerged) position to their backs to float and breathe.

Infant survival swim provides children the opportunity to learn a life-saving skill, all while building trust and confidence in and around the water.

Our experienced instructors are here to teach your baby survival skills in a gentle and effective way. We believe in allowing children to grow at their own pace, which is why we believe in short lessons with a long-term commitment.

Swim-Float-Swim Lessons

Swim-float-swim lessons are a highly specialized 1:1 sequence designed specifically for toddlers and young children. These lessons are a natural next step after graduating the infant survival swim program, or if your child is just starting lessons and is toddler-aged.

Children in swim-float lessons learn to swim a short distance, keep their face fully submerged, and learn to roll on their backs for rest and a breath of air. Then, they learn to flip back onto their stomach and continue swimming to safety. The goal of swim-float-swim lessons is that a child can find an exit point in a pool and swim-float-swim there safely and save themselves from a water emergency.

The swim-float-swim technique is the most important water safety skill your child can learn.

Strokes

Strokes is a 30-minute group-class of 3 children ages 5 and up who can swim the length of the pool unassisted. In this class, school-aged children will learn how to swim as a group and around others, dive for toys, learn strokes, and keep their survival swim skills top of mind.
