Miss Amanda is amazing! She taught my level 3 ASD son how to swim and save his self if he was to get into a situation like that! When my son was overwhelmed she calmed him down and taught him how to overcome his fear of putting his head in the water, and now he floats and is swimming like a little fish! We will be bring my youngest son back in the spring. She is also very kind. I definitely recommend taking your child here you won’t regret it!!

Amanda was a wonderful ISR swim instructor for our 9mo old! I would recommend her to anybody looking to teach their little ones and increase their safety! She was kind and caring with my child and every other student that we bumped into during our lessons. We will definitely be back with the next baby 😁 …

Amanda taught my 3 year old son who was terrified to put his face in the water but now he is a little fish!!! She also taught my brave 1 year old who was way to confident around water how to swim, float and most importantly safe around the water, she now has respect for the pool and minds her self! we’ve had lots a fun around the pool this summer with reassurance our kids are less likely to drown now!

I am truly grateful for Amanda and her dedication to teaching young children to swim. My son started with her at 2 years old and learned ISR techniques should the unimaginable happen. Amanda was/is a professional and her caring for my son was evident during the entire process. My son’s confidence in and love for the water is directly related to how Amanda runs her business. Highly recommended!

About us
What is Survival Swim?
Infant survival swim lessons are intended for children ages 6months (as long as they are crawling) up to 5 years old.
In four to six weeks, children learn to swim face down, kicking in the correct posture, rolling to a calm float, then flipping back over to a propulsive swim. This is the swim-float-swim sequence.

Our method
Why Swim/Float/Swim?
Swim-float-swim sequence is important for learning how to swim because it prioritizes safety, builds confidence, teaches essential skills, and provides a solid foundation for further swimming development.
