SafeSplash Swim School - Ft. Myers

Swim lessons don't stop at the pool's edge. Every skill your child works on is part of a carefully built progression designed to grow their confidence and safety in the water and you can keep that momentum going right at home.

Blowing bubbles in the bathtub. Practicing a flutter kick on the edge of the bed. Learning to hold a streamline on the living room floor. Small, consistent moments like these add up to huge breakthroughs in the water.

We've put together at-home practice activities for every level so you always know exactly how to support your swimmer between classes. 💧

Did you know? 🏊‍♂️

Bringing a plastic bag to your swim lesson is a simple way to store wet swim clothes after class. It helps keep the rest of your bag dry and makes packing up after time in the pool much easier.

Tag a friend so they are prepared for the next swim lesson. 💧

Our Intermediate classes focus on building stronger technique in the water while introducing and refining the four competitive strokes.

- Intermediate 1 helps strengthen freestyle and backstroke while beginning breaststroke with the breaststroke kick. Water safety skills continue to be reinforced along the way.
- Intermediate 2 builds on those foundations by refining freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke while introducing butterfly through the dolphin kick. Endurance and self rescue stamina continue to grow.
- Intermediate 3 focuses on refining all four strokes through drills that improve technique, strength, and overall swimming ability.

S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Promise Step 10: Exit Safely🛟

Knowing how to exit the pool safely is the final step in completing a full self-rescue.

This skill focuses on reaching the wall and climbing out of the water with control, ensuring a person can fully remove themselves from the pool when needed. Mastering this step reinforces confidence and safer habits in and around the water.

Emergencies around water happen quickly. Staying prepared is an important part of staying safe. The National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) highlights emergency readiness as a key layer of protection for families around water.

Start by making sure help can be reached quickly. Keep a phone near the pool so 911 can be called immediately if needed. It’s also important that adults and caregivers know CPR with rescue breaths, since immediate action can make a critical difference in a water emergency.

Having rescue equipment, a first aid kit, and posted CPR instructions nearby can also help ensure the right tools and information are available when every second counts. Another important reminder: if a child is missing, check the water first and call 911 right away.

These simple steps can make a life-saving difference.

Some kids start smiling the moment the car pulls into the parking lot. And honestly, the feeling is mutual. 💙
