At Southern Swim, we believe every child deserves to feel safe and confident in the water. Our lessons combine fun, encouragement, and proper technique to help swimmers develop lifelong skills while enjoying every step of the journey. Whether your child is just getting comfortable putting their face in the water or refining strokes for swim team readiness, we are here…
Our Swim Levels
From toddlers just being introduced to the pool, to beginner, intermediate, and swim team prep , we meet kids right
where they are and help them learn the skills necessary to take them to the next level.
Toddler 2
For children that are aged 2 that are just learning to swim. Swimmers may or may not be comfortable putting their face in, floating on their back or reaching for the wall independently. Swimmers will work to advance through each of these skills, build confidence and comfort in the water, and have fun! Ratio: 2:1
Bubbles & Float
Ideal for ages 3+. This is for swimmers that are happy in the water and can follow simple instructions. The goal for these swimmers is to put their whole face in to blow bubbles and get comfortable floating on their back and introduce floating on stomach. 2:1 Ratio
Kicks & Pulls
Ideal for ages 3+. This is for swimmers that are comfortable putting their face in the water and blowing bubbles for :05 seconds, as well as comfortable laying on their back for :05 seconds. The goal for these swimmers is to kick with their face in and bubbles for :05-:10 seconds, float independently, and begin adding in arm pulls. Ratio 3:1
Pre Team
For children aged 5+ comfortable swimming independently but may need more assistance in their stroke, adding in proper breathing, and swimming backstroke. Swimmers may enjoy swimming but may not have the confidence or strength to jump into a large group environment. PreTeam will provide an avenue to get some individual guidance in a small group setting before jumping onto the team. Ratio: 6:1

Parent Success Stories
Ashley and her team were incredible! We’ve tried many different swim programs and this seemed to be the most effective with the speed at which our kids learned how to swim, and how excited they were to go everyday! We ended up doing a couple of weeks for each of them because they were learning so much! This program has given my kids the confidence and excitement to swim! Thank you so much Southern Swim!
After two weeks of swim lessons, my 3 year old was swimming almost completely independently. She begs to go to the pool and practice what she learned and she just recently started doing flips underwater. She even asks to put on her goggles in the bath and practice her bubbles & floating. Southern Swim helped her realize her potential, be excited about it, and feel comfortable enough in the water to try new things.
