About
Little Dolphins Swim Academy offers swim lessons and learn-to-swim programs that include infant, toddler, child, and adult swim classes. The program includes swim safety, swim skills, and Olympic level swim instruction, as well as swimming pool birthday parties and a FREE infant swim class called “Bathtime Baby.”
• Ages: 0–18 years old
• Schedule: Classes offered 7 days a week, with most toddler swim classes on weekday mornings and Saturday and Sunday afternoons
Little Dolphins Swim Academy’s core focus is to teach swimming within its Principles of Compassion, Empowerment, Family and Excellence, and it states that it is more than a swim school and is anchored by a lifetime mission to teach parents, infants, children, youth and adults swim safety, swim skills and a lifetime of swimming enjoyment. All swim lessons and learn-to-swim programs take place in a State-of-the-Art Facility entirely devoted to swim instruction, which offers classes 7 days a week and has the ability to often find a class on the same day at a similar time for every swim skill level, including infants, toddlers, children and adults. The academy offers a FREE first-time “Bathtime Baby” swim class for parents and babies ages two to six months old, uses LDSA’s Swimming and Child Development System, and uses a reward system to accomplish class goals and help swim students achieve incremental swimming achievements.
Little Dolphins Swim Academy states that it has the ability and professional experience of Olympic level swim instruction. The academy searches for quality swim instructors who possess a love for working with children and who have an aptitude for teaching, and instructors are trained in the Little Dolphins Swim Academy system to provide parents and their kids the swim instruction possible. The program describes itself as more than just a swim school and as a C.E.F.E. Experience, referring to Compassion, Empowerment, Family and Excellence.

Parent testimonials report children progressing from not wanting to get their faces wet to performing various strokes the length of the pool, and describe Coach Warner and staff as super motivating and doing an excellent job with students. Other parents describe small class sizes, attentive coaches, and a director who is easy to talk to and knowledgeable on swim techniques and teaching children. One family reports that both children and adults in their family take classes, that instructors and Coach Chuck are kind, experienced and very motivating, and that while lessons are in a group, instructors work one-on-one to improve form. Another parent reports that after trying a number of different swim lessons in the area, they found Little Dolphins Swim Academy and watched a child who started at 3 years old steadily progress through the program to learn all four main strokes. A parent also notes details such as a mat in the changing room, a warm changing room, and a “Baby and Me” class that is separated from toddlers, and states that they highly recommend the swim academy and would like to share flyers at a preschool.
