Swim Lessons with Mary

☀️ August Instructor of the Month: Marin! ☀️

Marin was such a bright spot on our team this summer! She was amazing with communication, especially on those unpredictable weather days, and was always willing to jump in and help with makeup lessons. 🏊‍♂️🩵

She’s truly a ray of sunshine, and we’re so proud to have her on our summer team! Congrats, Marin! 🎉

Tip Tuesday: Back to School Consistency ✏️📚🚌

As school gets back into full swing, it’s easy to think of swim lessons as just another after-school activity to fit into the schedule. But swimming is different. It’s a lifelong skill, and one that could save your child’s life.

So even when life gets busy, keep making swim lessons a priority. Consistency builds confidence, skills, and water safety that last far beyond childhood. 🏊‍♂️🩵

Help us celebrate Haley and Denielle on their one-year anniversary with SLWM! 🥳

🩵 Haley brings so much joy and sunshine to every lesson at our Greenville location. She’s also a Level 1 Certified Adaptive Swim Whisperer, bringing her expertise, patience, and heart to every swimmer she teaches.

🩵 Denielle teaches at our Spartanburg location and has an incredible way of gently pushing swimmers outside their comfort zones while still making them feel safe and supported. She also brings phenomenal experience teaching adaptive lessons to our team!

We’re so lucky to have both of these incredible instructors on our team. Thank you, Haley and Denielle, for an amazing first year! Here’s to many more!

📢 Kroc Families: IMPORTANT REMINDER!

Starting TODAY, August 17, ALL Kroc lessons will be held at Hollingsworth Pool Club while the Kroc Center pool is closed for annual maintenance.

📍 Hollingsworth Pool Club
204 Verdae Crest Dr.
Greenville, SC 29607

If you have a lesson this week, please head to Hollingsworth instead of the Kroc Center!

We’ll see you at the pool! 🏊‍♂️🩵🙌

👂 TIP TUESDAY: Listening ears around water!

One of the most important things we teach at swim lessons isn’t just how to swim, it’s how to be a safe swimmer. That means learning to listen to a trusted adult around water.

We teach our swimmers to:
💧Ask before getting in
💧Ask before jumping, diving, or trying something new
💧Stop and listen when an adult gives a safety direction

Parents, this is a great one to double down on at home, too! The more consistently kids practice these habits, the more natural they become.

Swimming skills are important, but knowing when to stop, listen, and ask first is a water-safety skill, too. 🩵🏊‍♂️

🎉 Help us wish Zac a very happy (early) birthday!

Zac's birthday is coming up on August 17, and we're so thankful to have him on the SLWM team! His positive attitude, dedication, and passion for teaching make a difference in the lives of so many swimmers each week.

Be sure to wish Zac a happy birthday if you see him at the pool! 🥳🩵

Myth or fact?

❌ Floaties keep kids safe.
❌ Shallow water isn't dangerous.
❌ "Dry drowning" is a real diagnosis.

If you've heard any of these, you're not alone, but they're not the whole story.

We just published a new blog separating water safety facts from fiction so you can feel more confident keeping your family safe around the water. 🩵🏊‍♂️
