Swim Lessons

The Mighty Minnows Swim Program believes that every child needs to know how to swim. I teach children from the very fearful to the most daring adventurer from 6 months up.

Creative use of stories, songs and games help each child learn to swim in a safe, enthusiastic, fun, imaginative and creative environment. Because children come from water, in the mother’s womb, it is natural for children to adapt very easily to learning to swim.

Swimming is unlike any of the other programs we teach, in that the fear of the water for a child can hinder them in many other areas of their lives. I have found, through over 31 years of teaching experience, that when children learn to swim it really helps lift their spirits and raise their self-esteem by them overcoming fear. Having this newfound confidence carries over to many other sports, activities and into their every day lives.

The water is a beautiful medium in which a child can explore the weightless wonder and quiet solitude that being underwater brings. One of the greatest gifts you can offer your child is to teach them to swim so they can independently help themselves to the side of the pool or stairs and climb out on their own. Allow your child to feel the freedom and experience the liberation that learning to swim brings!

I come to your home, during the summer months, May – August, to teach private and semi-private swim lessons for ages 6 months – adult. Lessons are available other months of the year with access to a pool that is heated to 88 – 90 degrees. Stroke technique is an extension of my program and available for more advanced swimmers.
