Hello and welcome to Swim Safe Now! My name is Lisa Persse, I have been a Certified Survival Swim Instructor since 2003 and a Certified Master Instructor, training and mentoring Survival Swim Instructors since 2007. For the past 18 years I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful families and be able to teach children how to safely enjoy the water.

Our team of Certified Instructors are dedicated to offering the safest, most effective lessons in this area. Swim Safe Now bridges the gap between teaching children to swim independently with the added element of safety in learning how to float, a skill that ALL children need to be safe, enjoy the water and have fun!

As Director of Instructor Development for Swim Safe Now, I am dedicated to safety and efficiency in lessons, provide continuing education, mentoring and in-water pool visits to our Instructors. My goal is to ensure the consistency of lessons at each of our Instructor locations. With ongoing education in the areas of safety, childhood medical conditions and in-depth training in the areas of behavioral science and psychology, our Instructors are equipped to teach lessons that are tailored to meet the individual needs of each of our students. While the science each of us use is the same, our children are not, each having unique needs, be it emotional or physical. We strive to provide children with a learning opportunity that is best suited for them with the end result giving them the confidence and skills to have fun and most important be safe! I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you about our program.

My swim lessons are 4 days per week, Monday – Thursday for approximately 10 – 15 minutes each. ( Scroll down for more information on lessons and pricing ).

Infant Rollback to Float Class

Age: 6-12+ months

Babies who are sitting independently and beginning to crawl learn how to roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe until they can be rescued. 

Parents also learn how to practice with their baby to reinforce skills learned in lessons. Once babies are over the age of one and walking, they return to learn the swim-float-swim sequence.

SCHEDULE:
Infant lessons are 4 days per week, Monday – Thursday
*10 minutes per lesson

This class takes an average of *6 weeks to complete

*Lessons end on a performance based exit, not time-based, meaning we end each lesson on the student’s best performance of the skill we are working on that day, before they become fatigued.

*All lessons are individualized to the unique needs and abilities of each student so the exact # of lessons will vary. 

Swim Float Swim

Ages 1 (and walking) to 3 Years Old

Children ages 1-3 learn to swim independently, roll onto their backs to rest and breathe, and continue the swim-float-swim sequence until the side of the pool or shore is reached. 

Our one-on-one instruction allows your child to be able to develop their swimming skills to the fullest age-appropriate physical ability.

Recreational skills and games are also a fun addition to incorporate at this age. 

SCHEDULE:
Toddler lessons are 4 days per week, Monday – Thursday *10-15 minutes per lesson

This class takes an average of *8 weeks to complete

*Lessons end on a performance based exit, not time-based, meaning we end each lesson on the student’s best performance of the skill we are working on that day, before they become fatigued.

Swim Float Swim

Age: 4-6+ Years Old

Children ages 4 and up learn to swim independently, roll onto their backs to rest and breathe, and continue the swim-float-swim sequence until the side of the pool or shore is reached. 

Lessons for this age group have a strong focus on productive, coordinated movements and stroke development. This provides a strong foundation for safety and teaches the prerequisite skills needed to advance to formal stroke techniques. 

Our one-on-one instruction allows your child to be able to develop their swimming skills to the fullest age-appropriate physical ability.

Recreational skills and games are also a fun addition to incorporate at this age. 

Children over the age of 6

Maintenance Lessons

All Ages

After your child has learned to swim and float independently, skill maintenance is crucial! As your child grows and develops, skills need to be fine-tuned and swimming ability should be constantly developed.

Maintenance classes can be scheduled anywhere from once or twice per week to once or twice per month, as needed.

Refresher Lessons

All Ages

If your child has not had the opportunity to practice regularly, skills have regressed or you notice bad habits, it’s time for a refresher!

These classes are scheduled as needed, typically at least once or twice per year.
