Discover The Difference



There are many schools of thought regarding swim lessons for infants and toddlers. Should it be survival swim lessons only? Should it be just playtime, or should it be those "mommy & me" classes until your child is more comfortable in the water? At Survival Swim, we believe children can have both survival skills & FUN! We bridge the gap between these two philosophies to provide a well-rounded aquatic experience that goes beyond traditional swim lessons.

 

The Survival Swim program, established by Heather Rodrigue in 2008, is recognized as the area’s leading aquatic instructional program for children 6 months and up. Our mission is to reduce the number of pediatric drownings through education and awareness. We train infants and children to engage effectively in the aquatic environment to build self-reliance. These skills are needed in case of a supervision breakdown, when a barrier is not in place, or when the toddler finds a way to get in, over, or through the barrier. Once safety skills are mastered, students progress to more advanced swimming skills based on the child's unique physical, emotional, and developmental capabilities.

 

Through our one-on-one, individualized lesson program, children learn in a matter of weeks the skills that often take years to learn in a traditional swim program
