Truth! Please give your child the gift of swimming and safety best peace of mind you can do!

Unpopular Opinion: Flotation Devices Aren't a Substitute for Swim Skills.

Recently, I have been getting emails and messages from parents telling us that they understand why they shouldn’t use a puddle jumper, and asking if they can use a life jacket instead.

Here's how we really feel about flotation devices:

When it comes to drowning prevention, there are no shortcuts. Unfortunately, the life jackets are going to teach your children the same thing that puddle jumpers do if you use them all of the time when in the pool.

They will still make your child think that they can float on their own, when they really can’t.

They will still teach your child to arch their head when swimming, which pulls their legs down and gets them into that vertical position ... the drowning position.

They will still teach your child to tread water, not swim.

They will still teach your child to bicycle their arms and legs in the water, which will only exhaust them, not get them moving to safety.

They will still teach your child that its ok to be independent in the water when they aren’t actually ready for that, and this right here is the thing that will convince them to go back to water without you and without the device.

Flotation devices like life vests are not and were never meant to be used to allow your child independence in the water. They are not and were never meant to help them learn to swim.
They were developed to be worn around open water, in case of a sudden and accidental fall into the water. That’s it. Not for pools, not for recreational swimming, not for allowing independence or helping parents with multiple kids manage all of them in the pool.

So if you want to protect your kids in open water, coast guard approved life vests are the way to go! But we have normalized using these devices all of the time and everywhere and it’s causing our kids to drown.

We have to change that. We have to normalize and standardize skilling kids in the water: Teaching them how to float on their backs on their own. Teaching them to propel through the water. Teaching them how to get out of the water.

Think skills, not flotation.

This has happened way too much this week!!! Please invest in your child’s safety! I promise you won’t regret it!!!

🚨 UPDATE: Search crews say they have found the shorts that a missing 11-year-old boy was last seen wearing. However, Joshua has yet to be found.

Joshua, a young boy from Richmond, TX, went missing on Sunday evening. He was last seen about 150 yards out in the Gulf with another child when a wave hit him and he never resurfaced. He was there with members of a youth football team.

Texas EquuSearch and law enforcement agencies have been searching nonstop for the boy.

💙 5 Families. 5 Opportunities. One Community. 💙
One of the things that is most important to us at Swimming Fishies Swim School is giving back to the families in our community.

Each year, we quietly donate swim lessons to children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to learn this life-saving skill. This year, we would like to do even more.

We are giving away 5 FREE swim lessons to 5 families in need.

Please SHARE!!! My heart has always been especially drawn to helping single moms, families overcoming domestic abuse, and those facing difficult financial circumstances. Every child deserves the chance to learn how to be safe and confident in the water, regardless of their family's situation.

If you know a family who could benefit from this opportunity, please nominate them in the comments or send us a private message. Share a little about their story and why they deserve to be selected.

❤️ Here's how you can help:
• Nominate a deserving family
• Share this post
• Help us spread the word to families who may need a little extra support

We will carefully review all nominations and select 5 families to receive free swim lessons.

At Swimming Fishies, we believe that learning to swim is more than a lesson—it's a life-saving skill, a confidence builder, and sometimes a gift that can change a child's future.

Thank you for helping us continue this tradition of giving back and making a difference in our community. 🐠💙

Nominations will remain open until June 21. Winners will be contacted privately.

🏊‍♀️ Group Lessons…But Better. 🏊‍♂️
Most traditional swim schools run group classes with a 1:4 ratio — one coach teaching four toddlers at the same time. While that may work for some programs, we believe young swimmers deserve more individualized attention, encouragement, and support while learning such an important life skill.
That’s why at Swimming Fishies Swim School we’ve upgraded the experience.
✨ SAME PRICE.
✨ DOUBLE THE COACHES.
✨ MORE PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION.
Our new group lesson format is now a 2 coaches to 4 swimmers ratio, giving each child more hands-on guidance, confidence-building, and focused instruction throughout class.
It’s the fun and social environment of a group lesson — with the attention of a mini private lesson built right in. 💙🐠
Because learning to swim isn’t just about keeping kids moving in the water… it’s about helping each child conquer fears, build confidence, and develop real swimming skills safely and effectively.
What we recommend...
under the age of 3-15 min private lessons
3+ 30 min private lessons
5+ could do 30 min private and the group lessons.
