Why Choose Survival Lessons?

Confident Swimmers, Safe Lives.

Lessions are vital for building essential water survival skills that could save a child's life. By focusing on one-on-one instruction, children gain the confidence and ability to navigate real-world scenarios, including unexpected situations where they might be fully clothed.

    Our 2-yr old quickly learned crucial survival swim skills which gave us significant peace of mind around our home pool, and she further blossomed into a confident young swimmer in only her second season.  We’re excited to enter her newborn sister at the new facility and are extremely grateful for the wonderful teaching provided by this great team!

    I have a 4 year old semi-verbal autistic child and coach Jodi was so patient with him and built his trust. She switched up the training until he was able to figure it out. He successfully completed the course [and] passed with flying colors. He loves to practice every chance he gets. I can rest easier knowing that if he happens to get into a situation where he would drown, that he has a strong fighting chance of surviving and getting himself to safety. Do not get turned away because your child gets upset and scared. She will not let anything bad happen to your child. It is normal for them to be upset. She will gain their trust and they will be able to learn how to survive…I am forever grateful to Coach Jodi and Squiddles.
