This will be our family’s third season with Little Seals Swim School, and without a doubt, it has been one of the best investments we’ve ever made for our family. The confidence and peace of mind that comes from knowing my young children can swim is truly priceless. My girls absolutely adore their teachers, they are patient, encouraging, and so wonderful with kids. They’ve created such a positive and fun environment that my daughters not only feel safe, but genuinely love being in the water.
Even though we don’t have a pool at home, living in Florida means we’re surrounded by pools, lakes, beaches, and so many other bodies of water. As a first-time mom, that was something that always made me anxious. Little Seals has completely changed that for me. Watching my girls grow in skill, confidence, and independence in the water has been incredible. We are so grateful for this program and recommend it to every family we know. It’s more than swim lessons, it’s a life skill and a gift of safety and confidence that will stay with them forever.

We absolutely love Little Seals! Sandy is so patient, encouraging, and amazing with the kids. Our son looks forward to swim lessons every week and has grown so much in both confidence and skill. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

We love Little Seals! We have sent two kids through their program and are amazed at the confidence and progress. This isn’t my comfort zone so I’m very thankful for expert help with swimming.

If you’re in Jacksonville and looking for swim lessons for your little one, I truly can’t recommend Sandy and Little Seals Swim School enough. We’ve been with them for two seasons now, and it has been such a blessing—and such a relief.
My mother-in-law has an in-ground, unguarded pool, and knowing that (God forbid) if my 3 year old ever fell in, she has the skills to float, swim, and get herself to safety gives us so much peace of mind.
Sandy is incredibly patient, kind, and nurturing. Even on days when my daughter is cold or frustrated, Sandy always finds a way to make the lesson fun and encourages her to keep trying. The progress we’ve seen has been amazing.
We’re so excited to get my 1 year old started this summer too. Highly, highly recommend 🤍

We cannot say enough good things about Little Seals. The focus on survival swim skills, water safety, and true confidence in the water is unmatched. Sandy and Michelle treated our kids like their own—they are incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging while teaching such critical life-saving skills.
Both of our kids can now swim independently and safely, which gives us so much peace of mind. The lessons were well-structured, engaging, and effective to the point that our kids would beg to go to swim lessons!
If you’re looking for a swim school that prioritizes safety while building confident, capable swimmers, Little Seals is it. We would highly recommend them to any family. We love Ms Sandy & Ms Michelle!!

Love Little Seals Swim School and the instructors. They work great with each student and it gives me peace knowing my 2 year old son can float, after taking ISR classes, on his own now... especially since we have our own pool.

My daughter was signed up at 9 months and was swimming on her own after the first series of lessons. At the age of 2 she can swim on her own and loves to jump in the water and be flipped and thrown. I still do not leave her unattended, but I have confidence that if she were to fall in or be in a dangerous situation that she could get to the side on her own or it would be us time to get there. Great instructors! We are going to go back for stroke lessons.

This is such a great program! We feel so much more confident around the pool now that our daughter has completed the course. Heather is awesome and our little girl loved swimming with her everyday.

Michelle and Heather are amazing swim instructors. My son, who was 3 1/2 at the time, finished his course in less than 4 weeks. We continue now with maintenance lessons. The indoor pool is a major plus because you don’t have to worry about lessons being canceled due to inclement weather and you don’t have to sweat outside on those hot summer days. I highly recommend these ladies!

Our boys took ISR lessons with Heather 3 years ago and now our little girl is taking lessons. It is worth it to give your children the life saving skills taught through ISR. We are thankful for Michelle and Heathers instruction given to our children!

Wonderful ladies! It is amazing how quickly our little one has learned to float! They care so much about their kiddos and do a great job teaching them such an important skill!

We took my now 5 year old son to Michelle a few years ago, and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made!! With a pool in our backyard, it was a must that our children have these lessons. Michelle and Heather have taught my 1 year old how to swim and float. They are the absolute best, and what they teach our babies is priceless!
Laura C.
Heather and Michelle are absolutely amazing! They have given lessons to both my 2.5 year old and 8 month old. It’s awesome having the piece of mind knowing if they were to fall in the pool they would be able to save themselves. My 2.5 year old has fallen in a few times and it’s such a relief seeing that he knows what to do!

We have been going to Little Seals for about 5 weeks. Our 15 month old developing amazing skills and the progress of what he is able to do is impressive. The cost and schedule are always a factor for many families, but if you are able to take your littles to this wonderful school it is worth your time and resources. Ms Heather and Ms Michelle both knowledgeable and great with kids.

We have loved Little Seals swim school!! Our son completed the safety swim lessons when he was a year and a half and when we return for maintenance lessons he stills knows exactly what to do! Heather and Michelle are amazing and truly take the time to make your child feel comfortable while still getting them to learn the necessary safety skills for the pool. We recommend them to everyone we know.

We have been visiting Michelle for the past 3 years. We started when my son was 7 months old. He is now 3 and currently doing maintenance lessons. We are so happy that we decided to put our son in lessons. Its definitely a hard decision because of the price, but being an ER nurse, I see what happens when your child does not know how to swim. The consequences of not teaching your child to swim is deadly. My son loves swimming now. He constantly wants to be in the pool and I feel better knowing he is safe. My daughter starts lessons next month. I am very thankful for these girls and teaching my children how to swim.

Both Heather and Michelle have worked with my daughter. They both are absolutely amazing. They love what they do and it shows in how they do it!! My daughter still loves to go swimming with her Ms. Heather!!! The confidence she has while in the pool is priceless.
Thank you ladies!!!!!

Heather and Michelle are amazing! Not only have they taught our little ones to swim but they have instilled a confidence in them that is priceless! ISR is the way to go!
