Join us during the month of January as empower children to be prepared for a real-life scenario of swimming in their jammies.
Understandably, the idea of dunking a newborn under the water, even with supervision, is a little daunting. But is there a right time to start taking them to swimming lessons? Let’s take a look.
Mermaid swimming, also known as mermaiding, is a fun and magical way to experience swimming. Like any water activity, mermaiding has inherent risks that should be recognized and mitigated.
Little Fins Garden of the Gods location was inundated with little goblins and ghouls as we hosted our first event Halloween Carnival benefitting Hope Floats Foundation. Check out the images here from photographer Raul Mosley.
Just as children heading back to school will be focusing on learning we want to remember that successfully learning new skills of any kind; academic, physical, or emotional, requires time, practice, and effort.
Every child learns at their own pace...Swimming is a skill that you lose if you don't use it! We are teaching our students a life-long, life-saving skill.
In our world filled with easy access and technology, shielding our children from experiencing challenges is common…but we may inadvertently be limiting their resilience and growth. Letting children do hard things, whether trying a new sport, a new coach, or a new environment, has many valuable benefits.
