Louisiana Swim School provides infant and toddler survival swim lessons all the way up to adult swim lessons. At any age or level of experience we can help you on your journey to becoming safe and competent in and around the water.
Infants beginning at 6 months of age can learn a survival float method where they learn to hold their breath underwater and roll over onto their back to maintain a survival float. Beginning around 13 months old a child will learn a basic “freestyle” type swim. When they need to breathe they will roll to their back to float, rest and breathe before flipping back over to their belly to swim again.
Children beginning around age 4-5 are ready for our swim and stroke swim lessons. Children at any level of competence will be taught proper freestyle and backstroke techniques, as well as side breathing. If the student is progressing well, breaststroke and butterfly strokes are also taught.
- All lessons are private, one on one lessons. Taught year round in a private indoor heated pool.
- Survival Swim Lessons: Ages 6 months – 4 years old
- Swim and Stroke Lessons: Ages 4 years and Up
- Private Adult Swim Lessons
