When children show that they are developmentally ready, they will add freestyle arms to the kick on their tummy and they will do this while rolling on their back to breathe.
As they become more proficient, they will shorten their roll to a side breath and begin to side breathe. Remembering breath control, kicking, arms, and rolling back to breathe takes a lot of coordination. Therefore, stroke work will not be started until a child has demonstrated they can successfully swim-float-swim.
Traditional lessons can run 10-30 minutes depending on the need of the parent and can be as little as 1 day a week and as often as 5 days a week. Traditional lessons offer more flexibility with swim instruction, but should be done only when the child is developmentally ready.
Traditional Swimming Lessons
Children that have been walking for at least two months will learn how to Swim (kick on tummy) - Float (rest on beck) - Swim (kick on tummy) to a hand target, the bar or a safe exit point.
They will also learn how to rollback, float, rest and breathe. The child will experience entering the water different ways as to simulate a fall into the water.
These lessons are 10-minutes each day and run for 5-6 weeks (approximately 20-24 lessons).
Survival Swimming Lessons (Swim-Float-Swimmers)
Children that are at least 6 months old and can roll both ways can be enrolled in survival swimming lessons.
During the lessons they will be taught breath control and how to rollback, float, rest and breathe (while fully clothed) as they wait to be rescued. The child will experience entering the water different ways as to simulate a fall into the water.
These lessons are 10-minutes each day and run for 5-6 weeks (approximately 20-24 lessons).

So proud of this little fish! She was super scared to leave the steps at the beginning of the summer. Some refresher lessons with Ms. Tami and she's killing it!
~ Leslie
Breck’s last day of his 6 week survival swim lessons is here! We are sad it's over, but impressed at just how much he has been taught and learned in such a short time. Tami is really just magical! We appreciate you, and can't wait for some maintenance lessons and YAY no floats this summer at the pool
~ Breann
Chaney is halfway through survival swim class with JUMP Infant Aquatics! Miss Tami makes something that could be scary so fun! She gets so excited to go to swim each day. She has already learned sooo much. I can't wait to see what skills she masters over the next few weeks.
Having Tami come to teach in Woodward is such a benefit for the kids in our community.

Look at B go. I absolutely love watching him learn how to respect the water and to help himself if he ever got in a bad situation. Yes, he cries but 99% of it is because I'm not holding him (if you have been around us lately you would understand). Last night while taking a bath he kept laying back in the water and he would let him self float. He can touch both sides of the tub and the bottom but he would move his hands away and just float. No crying at all. I know he is save and Tami has the proper training so the crying doesn't bother me.
Tami is an amazing instructor and has so much patience with these kids. If you have a young child in your life you should really look at survival swim lessons for them. 10 minutes out of your day is doable and is NOT a waste of time.

Hey Tami!
So, I am REALLY wanting to get my daughter to you for swimming lessons. I am to the point where I am willing to drive to Yukon every day for a while if that’s what it takes. 😂 I know there are people closer who could do it BUT I want the BEST and you are the BEST by far!! 😍
Can you give me some info about how you are doing classes now? Do you do private lessons? What is the cost? How many weeks? Etc….. I want all the info before I talk to her dad about it. 😁
Thank you! We miss you!
~Andrea
Putting my son in Survival Swim lessons with Tami was the best investment I could have made for him. At 1.5 years old he was jumping off the diving board and going down the slides by himself. He has confidence in the water but is also cautious around large bodies of water. I have seen him use his skills to get to a safe place successfully without anyone's help when he fell in the pool after a toy. I was right there but wanted to see what he would do before I intervened.
I think everyone should invest in these lifesaving skills for their young children. Having Jump IA in Woodward has been a huge blessing.
~Brandi (prior to becoming an instructor)
C has been doing Infant Survival Swim classes at the YMCA and I am so proud of his progress. He's never been scared of the water and he's not afraid to jump off of all the things so I am thankful he has the skills to be able to do all of those things and be safe in the water!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND these lessons Tami is so good at what she does.
~Risa
This last week of Infant Survival Swim class for B. She has been a little champ through the whole process. Tami has been ABSOULTELY AMAZING and we will never be able to thank you enough for giving our little girl the skills she needs to possibly save her own life.
~Andrea
This might be hard for some to watch, but it gives me peace of mind. Tami has done a great job with our girls, and I couldn't be happier with the progress they have made.
~Rachel
100% worth it! Just do it.
~Katelyn
Tami was an amazing swim instructor for my daughter. Huntley looked forward to getting in the water because she was smiling and excited to work with her every morning. Tami makes an effort to build a trusting relationship with her students. After working with Tami only 10 times my 17-month-old was able to swim-float-swim. I would strongly recommend Tami as a Survival Swim Instructor.
~Ariel
Tami was truly phenomenal with our three-year-old Riley. Riley definitely resisted at first, but she LOVES it now and has made so much progress. I was thoroughly impressed.
Tami has become a main character in our pretend play throughout the day. I'm taking swim practice on the bedroom floor, swimming outside and swim practice with her dolls. I can hear her say "kick, kick, kick, GOOD" on the monitor during nap time and it makes me smile every time I hear it. Tami's enthusiasm and positive energy was infectious and always engaging for Riley.
