Swim Lessons are group lessons of 2-3 kids per 1 instructor that are based on skill level and day/time availability. They are offered in Woodward and Southlake.

After a child has completed the survival swim sequence and shows that they are developmentally ready for more advanced instruction and additional skills, we move a child to traditional lessons. Traditional lessons can take place within a private lesson, group lesson or the swim academy setting.  

​

Children that can swim-float-swim without instructor support will be taught freestyle arms.  Once they have mastered that, they will learn to side breathe.  After mastering freestyle, children will learn elementary backstroke, backstroke, breast stroke, butterfly, diving, treading water and basic water safety skills. 

​

Traditional lessons can be scheduled one or multiple days a week and can range from 15-30 minutes in length based on instructor availability. 

​

Traditional lessons must be scheduled with Tami by calling 541.990.8833.

JUMP Swim Academy is a new membership program I started in Southlake to keep children swimming in the seasons where they are not actively swimming or taking lessons so children keep their skills.

 

The membership fee ranges from $85 to $315 depending on their number of swim lessons each week.  This is a great way to keep children always ready to rescue themselves if they should accidentally fall into the water.

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 Monday-Thursday for 6 weeks.

​

Survival swim lessons cost $775-$975, depending on location and operating expenses. The fee covers lessons until your child demonstrates the required program skills. If additional time is needed, there is no extra charge as long as your child attends regularly and your family follows the program guidelines.

After a horrible experience at a popular local swim school, I sought out to find a private instructor for my 3 year old twins. I interviewed several swim instructors and landed on Tami. She handles the transition of getting kids comfortable in the water so well. She is gentle, connected, and encouraging. My twins love their "tam tam" and very much look forward to their swim lessons with her!! 10/10 recommend.

~ Elise Dean

We LOVE JUMP infant aquatics. Not only is she patient with my 5 and 1 year old, but she's extremely skilled at helping them to be confident and safe in the water. We tried multiple lessons with other providers and nothing compares to Tami. We are return swimmers this year and will continue for years to come!

~ Ashley Gaylord

I could not recommend investing in survival swim lessons more! Not only did my kids learn valuable skills to help them survive in water if they should ever need it, but they also built confidence, learned they are capable of hard things (🙌), and had some fun while doing it. Tami, Shelley, and Lexi coached my tentative 4 year-old and wild 2 year-old with the perfect blend of gentleness + healthy encouragement to get the work done. Thank you “Teacher Tami” for everything! 🩵 Such a great experience for us

~ Roslyn Smith

Tami has been an incredible help to my 10 month old baby. We wanted him to learn how to survival swim, and that’s exactly what they did! He hated the water, and did not want to be in there most days, but nonetheless, they taught him & challenge him to learn the skills. They never got frustrated with him screaming the whole time, and he learned how to roll & float on his own! I would definitely recommend Jump Infant Aquatics to anyone who is interested in teaching their child how to survive in water!

~ Tess Stultz

So grateful to have been included in survival swimming lessons with Tami! I enrolled both my 4 and 7 year old. Both of my children have been involved in traditional lessons their entire lives. My 7 year old had been in at least 4, 4 week sessions every year since he was tiny, and he was unable to swim or float. Within 8 days of lessons he has learned to float, and has the confidence to know what he needs to do if he were to fall into water. And now as they work on the swim aspect, I am so thankful to have an instructor who cares about the outcome and is skilled in addressing the challenges that my child was facing with swimming. The lessons through JUMP Infant Aquatics are worth not only the financial investment, but the time investment as well. I would recommend these lessons for all kiddos!

~ Kate Borchard

Tami is amazing! She is a great mix of gentle and "get it done" that is bringing such great results with my clingy baby and preschooler. I'm so impressed with how much they've learned just about halfway through the survival lessons! I feel so much better now about their survival if either of them fall in the water somewhere. This has been a process but it's been worth the time and money for sure! So thankful for this opportunity!

~ Nikki McGlothlin

WE LOVE MS. TAMI!!!

I am so thankful for the connection I have as a parent with Tami. She is incredible as a person and as a swim teacher, she is kind, gentle, and so endearing. My little boy was very timid and spent the first 2 weeks crying. Tami was gracious and offered me to join in the lessons. I am so glad I did. I learned and my little boy, while still mopey, was compliant and happy and I’d like to think he walked away loving the water. Tami is fun and loves the kids. You can see this is her passion and she loves teaching children how to swim and be safe in and around the water. So thankful we have her!!!

~ Lindsay Bailey

100% worth the investment-both monetary and time wise. My two year old started with Miss Tami last year and continued his learning with Miss Brandi this year. He felt safe with them both and has gained so much knowledge and water confidence from his two 6 week sessions. He will continue lessons with JUMP each year and I will be enrolling my 6 month old next year as well. The peace of mind that JUMP has given my husband and myself is something that we are so grateful for. Such a blessing!

~ Helby Owen

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.

~ Jada

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.
