Formally known as Tall Thoms Swim School (TTSSMiami) We offer a program designed to teach our students swimming, water safety, and fun. The classes consist of thirty minutes for 5 consecutive days. The first day is a get to know one another day. Who are you, who am I? What can you do or not in the water? What do you like to do or not in the water? The other days are work days. We do not play, but we do not overwork your child, that is not learning. If your child fusses, we spend time calming him/her down before we continue. Our goal is to have your child swimming from the instructor to the wall and jumping into the pool and returning to the wall. Your child will be looking underwater, eyes open, holding their breath and not swallowing water. Usually on Fridays, we have a parent come into the pool with their child and show you the skills that we are teaching, so you can continue working with your child to strengthen his/her skills more quickly and to enjoy being in the water with your child. We have been serving South Florida for over 35 years. Tall Thom actually taught Coach Nick about 36 years ago and then taught him the skill of teaching swimming 23 years ago. Their passion for helping others enjoy the water is transmitted through their teaching. Coach Manny has been teaching and coaching for over 30 years, both in our school system and in the pool. Our newest Coach, Matthew is finishing high school, swims and play water polo, and absolutely adores the kids and loves helping them learn to swim and stay safe in the water.
