About Splash Academy

Building confident, safe swimmers — one lesson at a time — since 2012.

Our Story

Splash Academy was founded by two parents who couldn’t find a swim school that felt right for their own children. They wanted more than just lessons — they wanted an environment where every child feels safe, seen, and genuinely celebrated.

What started as a small program with one lane and six families has grown into a full aquatics center serving hundreds of children from infants through preteens. Our philosophy has never changed: every child learns differently, and every child deserves patient, expert instruction.

Today, our team of certified Water Safety Instructors brings that same family spirit to every class — whether it’s a nervous toddler’s first splash or an 11-year-old perfecting butterfly stroke.

Our Approach

Safety First

All instructors hold current Water Safety Instructor (WSI) and CPR/AED certifications. Our pool meets every state safety code, and every class follows strict student-to-instructor ratios.

Child-Led Pacing

We never rush a child through a skill. Our instructors read each child’s comfort level and progress at the pace that builds genuine confidence — not just rote repetition.

Positive Reinforcement

Every milestone matters. We celebrate progress loudly and setbacks quietly, creating an environment where children want to keep coming back — and keep improving.
