Not all swim programs are created equal. Here we do not offer you a week of half hour lessons and promise to make your child “swim”.
What is the definition of swimming? Independence and self-reliance in the water is our definition. A week of practicing anything rarely turns out to be something we excel at. Time to build skills, confidence and knowledge in short one on one lessons are how we do it here. Plus, attention spans fall short if lessons go too long.

At Tiny Bubbles Aquatic Academy, it’s our training, hands on experience and the one on one lessons that allow us to structure lessons to accommodate each child’s unique needs and successfully acquire water safety. What works for one, may not for another and in the past 10+ years of business we have worked out the most beneficial program for all ages.
Float Program (for infants who are rolling over) – The most essential survival skill we can teach your child is to roll from a face-down position in the water to a face-up independent back float. During your lessons, your child will be gently introduced to the water while the instructor builds a level of trust and comfort. $100 a week with a onetime $50 registration fee, avg. of 6-8 weeks
Swim Program – Once your child begins to walk they can learn to swim to the pool edge or steps, rolling over and floating on their back whenever air is needed. When your child learns to roll over to float, relax and breathe, they can truly swim, stay afloat, conquer fear and experience the joy of swimming. They graduate once they swim the pool independently. $100 a week with a onetime $50 registration fee, for ages 2 ½ and up its an avg. of 4-6wks
Maintenance Class – Once your child graduates you will have the option of taking once a week classes on Fridays to keep up with the lessons. It’s Imperative to keep up one swimming after lessons are complete as its like learning a new language, you want to keep flexing that muscle. $60 for a package of 4 classes
Refresher – Its recommended once a year or whenever you feel a need to brush up on skills to continue to build on your child’s water safety and confidence. $100 a week avg. of 2 weeks
CPR + AED – In this hands-on class you will learn a series of techniques which are designed to assist with infants, children and adults in need of assistance. You will also learn how and when to use an Automated External Defibrillator. $45

Certification is through EMS safety a nationally recognized certifying agency. Digital cards will be sent out upon completion. Access to online review is available online for free or you can obtain a personal copy for $5. Class is limited to 6-8 people.
What kind of results can I expect from these lessons?
For Infants 6m to around 11month who can roll over we will teach them to roll from a face-down position in the water to a face up independent back float. Active infants may begin the kicks of swimming and be able to go a short distance before floating. This takes about 6-8 weeks to achieve on average.
If your child is walking, usually 12m and Up, can learn to open their eyes, hold their breath, and grasp the pool edge. They also learn how to turn back towards the edge in case of an accidental fall in. They can learn to paddle to the steps, side or platform. When the child feels the need to breathe, he will roll onto his back. After a short rest period he will flip onto his tummy and continue to swim while looking for the pools edge or other landing. They will graduate once they can swim the pool independently. This on average takes about 4-6 weeks.
Children who have learned from the swim float swim program naturally progress into freestyle swimming with rhythmic breathing. This transition occurs between ages 4-6.
How Are Lessons Conducted?
Consistency in attendance is key. Toddlers and young children do best with short lessons multiple times per week, rather than one long lesson. Our lessons run Monday – Thursday, 4 times a week for 15 minutes each day.
Lessons begin with the parent/caregiver handing the child to the instructor in the pool. If your child is reluctant to get in the water, we ask that you reassure them by focusing on the skills we are working on rather than their emotions. The Parents role is to encourage the child along the way from the sidelines. There is a seating area around the pool and its kids friendly for siblings who come along. There is also an inside room that still have a view of the pool.
At Tiny Bubbles Aquatic Academy, we think of our clients as partners, for we work as a team. We are working together to assure your child’s safety in and around the water. If you have any questions, regarding swimming lessons or infant aquatic lessons, call us, and we will be glad to answer them. Whether you are in Port Saint Lucie, nearby Fort Pierce or other surrounding cities, Tiny Bubbles Aquatic Academy offers swimming lessons are like no other.
