Baby Otter Swim School is the BEST. My husband, both of our children and myself love everyone that is part of the Baby Otter family. Miss Staci taught my daughter, Jessi, to swim through the TKR individual lessons when she was just 16 months old.

Ever since then, Jessi has had such a tremendous love of swimming. Not only does she still love to swim at almost 6 years old, but she is one amazing competitive swimmer. Then my son, Brody, was “ready” to learn TKR. He was not as enthusiastic about swimming as Jessi and was pretty fearful, but the Baby Otter team taught Brody to survive in the water at 2 years old. Now at 3 ½ years old, Brody loves swimming just like his sister and he continues to get stronger.

I’ll never forget when Jessi was about 22 months old and we went on a Caribbean vacation. Pretty much every single person at the pool asked how old she was because they were so shocked by her swimming ability. Not only would she be able to safe herself if she needed to, but she was fully swimming across the entire pool like a big kid.

Even more special than the fact that both of my children are amazing swimmers due to Baby Otter Swim School is the love that both Jessi and Brody have for the Baby Otter family. Both of my children constantly ask when they can see Miss Mindy, Miss Staci, Miss Marlene and Mr. Scott again. The wonderful staff has made my children feel so loved and so special because they feel so passionate about the amazing, important things they are teaching such small children. Baby Otter is doing such extraordinary things to help save children from drowning and they make every child feel so very special in the process.

I can’t say it enough times – Baby Otter is the BEST!”

Life Skills Learned Through Swim Programs

It was so amazing for us last night when we were asked to attend a swim meet from one of our students who has taken many levels of swimming at Baby Otter Swim School.

As we entered the swim meet several families recognized us and came over to us to tell us that their kids were also on the team and that we should be so proud of what we created. As owners of the school and together having over 52 years of combined experience working with kids to teach them every level of swimming we both just sat there in total amazement. These kids were 6 years old.  We looked at each other and said that we can not believe that at one time these kids could not swim and were afraid of the water and now they own the lane they are swimming in. It was an emotion that neither of us could explain but was one of the most rewarding nights we have had in a long time.

We tell parents all the time that kids can learn anything at most any age and they are only limited by their parents. If you train a child at a young age with the proper instruction and with consistency  and love they can learn anything and don’t know that they can’t do these things. We always teach them to say ”I Can Do It”. Watching them swim across that pool last night made us know that we have created future olympians who have so much confidence in themselves.  Parents, this post is for you–Teach Your Kids To Swim and they will always have an amazing life skill.

Parent Testimonial for Our Child Swimming Classes Near Ft. Lauderdale

We just received another great review from a proud parent. To see more testimonials about our child swimming lessons near Fort Lauderdale, check click the “Testimonials” category. This testimonial comes from Jana Fonseca
“This year has been a year full of positive life changing experiences for our family. The one that sticks
out the most was having our 5 year old, autistic, amazing daughter join the Baby Otters swimming
classes. She could swim, but could not put her face in the water, and we really wanted her to feel
absolutely comfortable in the water, due to the fact that we live in south Florida and we are pretty much
surrounded by lakes, canals, pools, and ocean.

On our first day as the instructor started to put her face in the water a couple of times, for a few
seconds, my daughter’s reaction was to run out of the pool screaming and came to me. Of course
immediately I interfered and asked that they go a little easier on her. I just had a really hard time
watching it.

On our way home, my husband asked to do this alone with my daughter. He knows I tend to be over
protective, and that this would be something he’d like to try alone with her. As apprehensive as I was, I
said ok.

The following week, our second swimming lesson came, and I of course was not there, but watched a
clip from my husband’s camera that he had filmed while my daughter had her face in the water, and was
absolutely proud as proud can be of herself.

My daughter is not only swimming with her face under the water, but also jumping in the deep end of
the pool, and simply having a blast doing it.

All I can say is that having our child join the Baby Otters swimming classes has been an amazing
experience. Their patience and passion absolutely blew my mind. They just know how to teach
children how to swim! I absolutely, 100% recommend it!”

Sincerely,

Jana Fonseca
