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.

Meet the Crawfish Crew: Katy

Nov 03, 2021 Katy is from Baton Rouge. She's been with the Crawfish Swim School for a year and a half and most enjoys teaching the Beginner 2-3 year olds saying "I am able to see such a big change in them in such a short amount of time, and I love getting to see them grow to like swimming."

Trick or Treat in the Oaks

Oct 25, 2021 We had such a great time at Trick or Treat in the Oaks this past weekend! We had 16 local businesses come together to make the event happen. We estimate around 600 people came through and enjoyed the nice weather and treats.

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. It may seem like your child is an expert floater or bubble blower so they are ready for the next step. Why would we keep practicing these same skills once a child has gotten the concept of a specific foundational swimming skill?

Meet the Crawfish Crew: Karoline

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."

Why Baby Swim Lessons are So Important

Oct 07, 2021 Water safety is a big concern for any parent; you want your child to respect and understand the dangers that water can present. A big part of water safety for little ones is feeling comfortable in and around the water and, once they have the capacity, learning how to swim.

What You Need to Know About Water Watchers

Jul 06, 2021 Designating a Water Watcher at your next pool party or day on the river could save a life. Children should always be supervised when in, on, or around the water. Children of any age who cannot swim should be within arms reach of a water capable adult at all times.

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.

New Year, New Swimming Lessons

National Gratitude Month

Nov 12, 2020 November is the National Gratitude Month. While it might seem daunting to teach children how to recognize and acknowledge things to be grateful for it’s well worth the time for the lifelong benefits.

Do Dropping Temps Mean You Should Drop Swimming?

Oct 22, 2020 We’re consulting Dr. Ashley Saucier, MD to get to the bottom of being wet in the winter and if it affects our immune systems or likelihood of catching a cold.
