Healthy, Happy, and Here

Nov 11, 2021 During these weeks everyone starts to reflect on the past year...or two years, everything since March 2020 seems to run together, right? So before we all start the hustle towards the holidays we wanted to reflect on what we’re GRATEFUL for at the Swim School.

Why Repetition is so Important in Swimming Lessons

Oct 19, 2021 You may often wonder “why is my child doing the same thing over and over and over again” when you go to watch their swim lesson.

Oct 14, 2021 Karoline is from Gonzales and is a Dutchtown High School student. She has worked at the Crawfish Swim School at Bayou Oaks for a year and loves teaching the 2-3 year old Beginner 1 class the most because she says "seeing them so excited to swim is very rewarding."

What You Need to Know About Water Watchers

Benefits of Group Lessons

Jan 15, 2021 In recent years, we’ve seen private lessons grow in popularity. Surely, one on one or “private” lessons are the best environment for learning, right? Not necessarily.
