Debby’s Philosophy

Don’t miss any part of your child’s development in water. It’s an exciting time for both parents and kids. Together we endeavor to create a loving, caring and fun environment. Force fear and intimidation have no place in teaching children aquatics.

Customer Stories

“ They have had such a wonderful time with you. While we were on vacation, both kids had a lot of swim time. Jamie did so much better than I was expecting, and I can confidently say, that I think if he fell in, he is able to pop up, turn, and swim to the wall. I have you to thank for that amazing peace of mind. He's working on swimming distances, and maybe one day will use his arms!! Last weekend, I watched Addie jump off of a diving board, completely confident. The practice she's had with you certainly led up to that!”

We didn’t get to say goodbye so I just wanted to thank you so much for the lessons this winter! Seeing Miller in the pool today and how much he has grown and improved was honestly so impressive!!

Melissa

“We filled out Campbell's back to school board this morning. She has always wanted to be a doctor when she grows up, this time she said doctor or swimmer! Thank you for making swimming fun and teaching her fundamental skills. She no longer is scared of water being splashed on her face, so much so that she only wants to take showers now, instead of baths. Thank you for all you do. ”
