Hurry Up & Learn!
As parents, we love to see our children learn new things and accomplish new skills. It's part of what we feel makes us a good parent. However, often in our quest, we get caught up in thinking that sooner is better.
It's important that in swim lessons, as in other areas of learning, that we keep our expectations realistic. Understanding how children learn and what they need is a key factor for positive healthy learning....Read More >>

What Makes Little Otter Swim
School Different?
What makes Little Otter Swim School different? The first answer is our Instructors, of course-- but the second is our facilities. Our pools are maintained at a tropical 90 degrees because a child that is warm and happy will learn to swim more easily. We have added UV (Ultra-Violet) systems to both of our pools. This system uses light to purify our water. This works along with our chemistry and gives us an added protection against water borne illnesses.
We circulate the water in our baby pool every hour. This is 6 times what is required by the health department. The main pool water circulates every 2.5 hours. This is about 2 and a half times what is required. By going the extra step, we are trying to have the cleanest water for your children to swim in.

Little Otter Water Safety Day
 | | Water Safety for Every One! |
On Saturday, May 14th, Little Otter Swim School hosted a Water Safety Day for our students. Students wore their clothes and shoes to simulate how it might feel to "fall in" a body of water, whether it be a pool or off of a dock into a lake. The instructors guided the children into rolling onto their backs in a floating position, while the child experienced the sensation of the water dragging on their clothes and the weight of shoes in the water. This invaluable demonstration gave each of the children the tools necessary to save themselves if such an accident should occur. Over 200 children attended this event here at the Little Otter, and we were glad to be able to help our families prepare for water activities.
