🌟 Swimmer Spotlight: Oliver! 🌟 Oliver’s been working hard on pushing off into the water, swimming independently, and rolling onto his back when he gets tired, and he’s absolutely crushing it! 💪💦 We’re so proud of his progress and how brave he’s becoming in the water. Go, Oliver! 🏊‍♂️👏 #swimmerspotlight #swimlessonswithmary #SLWM #upstatesc #greenvillesc #mauldinsc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swimlesson #swimming #learningtoswim #watersafetyfirst #swimlessonssavelives #watersafetyeducation #watersafety #swimfun #upstateswimlessons #waterconfidence #privateswimlessons #southcarolina #swimlessons #swimready #swimmilestones #keepgoing #growth

Our next Instructor Into is finally here! Get to know Katie T who brings over a decade of swim experience and a passion for water safety to the pool. We’re so lucky to have her teaching at both our Greenville and Spartanburg locations! 🏊‍♀️🌟 💧What got you into swimming? When I was 15 years old, my hometown had a lifeguard shortage for the summer pools that year. So, I decided “hey I like swimming!” Maybe being a lifeguard would be a great summer job for me. What started as a part time job turned into over a decade of teaching and guarding. 💧Why did you become a swim instructor? Shortly after becoming a lifeguard, I was approached with the opportunity to train as a swim instructor at the first outdoor pool I worked for. My time spent as a swim instructor quickly became my favorite part of working at the pool. 💧What do you love about teaching at SLWM? I really enjoy one-on-one lessons with my students. It allows me to get to know them on a more personal level and allows me to tailor lessons to each individual. It’s a wonderful treat to watch my students hit goals and reach milestones! 💧Fun fact about you? I have names for all of my house plants! 🪴 #swimlessonswithmary #SLWM #upstatesc #greenvillesc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swimlessonsuccess #swimminginstructor #watersafetyfirst #watersafety #swimmingcoach #learningtoswim #watersafetyeducation #swimlessonssavelives #swimming #swiminstructor #swimlesson #swimlessons #swimcoach #swimlessonsforadults #swimlessonsforkids #babyswimlessons #InstructorIntro #lovewhatwedo #travelswimlessons

Tip Tuesday: Start with water play at home! 💧🙌 Is your little one brand new to swim lessons? One of the best ways to prepare is by turning bath time into a playful, water-friendly warm-up! 🛁 Let them: 💧 Pour water over their own head (or yours!) 💧 Blow bubbles in the water 💧 Kick their feet and splash around 💧 Get used to wet faces and gentle water on their ears These simple activities build trust and water comfort, two big steps toward feeling confident in swim lessons. The more fun they have in the tub, the more ready they'll feel for the pool! 🫶 #tiptuesday #swimprep #watersafety #swimlessons #swimtipsforkids #swimready #waterconfidence #slwm #swimlessonswithmary #swimstart #bathtimefun #upstatesc #spartanburgsc #greenvillesc #charlottenc #mauldinsc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swimmilestones #upstateswimlessons #privateswimlessons #babyswimlessons #southcarolina #swimtips #tiptuesday

🐸 Tip Tuesday: Master the Frog Kick! 🏊‍♀️ Is your swimmer working on breaststroke? The secret to a strong glide is all in the frog kick! Here’s how to help your swimmer improve: ✅ Feet Flex Out, Not Pointed Instead of pointing toes like in freestyle, turn the feet outward and flex the ankles like “penguin feet.” ✅ Heels Up, Knees In Bring heels up toward the hips with knees close together, no big splashes here! ✅ Big Circle, Strong Snap Draw a wide circle with the feet, then snap them together quickly for power. Think “circle and squeeze!” ✅ Glide, Don’t Rush After the kick, let the body glide like a torpedo. Rushing the next stroke too soon wastes energy. 🐸 Pro tip: Practicing the kick on a kickboard, noodle, or wall can help isolate good technique! Want more swim tips or looking to book a lesson?

Our newest Instructor Intro is here! Get to know Renzie and see what a lesson with her can look like! Her love for swimming started young, and now she’s bringing that same joy to kids in the pool. 🩵🙌 💧What got you into swimming? My grandfather used to take me to the pool when I was little, and it quickly became one of my favorite things to do. He worked so hard to help me become a strong swimmer, and those memories have always stuck with me. 💧Why did you become a swim instructor? Because swimming is such an important life skill and I wanted to help others feel confident and safe in the water, just like I did growing up. 💧What do you love about teaching at SLWM? The kids! Their energy, their smiles, and the way they light up when they conquer something new. 💧Fun fact about you? I’m a fourth grade teacher AND a college assistant coach. Teaching and teamwork are kind of my thing! #swimlessonswithmary #SLWM #upstatesc #greenvillesc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swimlessonsuccess #swimminginstructor #watersafetyfirst #watersafety #swimmingcoach #learningtoswim #watersafetyeducation #swimlessonssavelives #swimming #swiminstructor #swimlesson #swimlessons #swimcoach #swimlessonsforadults #swimlessonsforkids #babyswimlessons #InstructorIntro #lovewhatwedo #travelswimlessons

📣 Tip Tuesday: Kicking Comes from the Hips! 🦵💦 One of the most common swim habits we help kids and adults unlearn is bending too much at the knees when they kick. It’s totally natural at first, but it actually makes swimming harder and less effective. 💡 Here’s the tip: Strong, efficient kicking starts at the hips, with straight legs and relaxed ankles. Think of it like fluttering the whole leg, not just from the knee down. This helps swimmers move forward with less splash and more control! 👉 Why it matters: ✅ Builds proper technique early ✅ Conserves energy ✅ Helps you stay horizontal and balanced in the water ✅ Prepares you for strokes like freestyle and backstroke We practice hip-driven kicking in every lesson, whether it’s on the wall, with a kickboard, or during a glide. Even our tiniest swimmers are learning body awareness that will stick with them for life. 🩵🙌 🎯 Practice Tip at Home: Have yourself (or your child) lay on their stomach on the floor or bed and try small, fast kicks from the hips. It’s a great way to reinforce the motion when away from the water! #swimlessonswithmary #SLWM #upstatesc #greenvillesc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swiminstructor #swimmilestones #growth #babyswimlessons #supportswimlessons #proudmoment #keepgoing #swimmingcoach #swimtips #tiptuesday #kroccenter #flutterkicks #lapswimming #lapswimmer #lapswim #swimteamprep #swimteam

We’re celebrating some of our long-time swimmers today! 🩵🙌 From those very first kicks to becoming safe, confident swimmers, it’s been such an honor to be part of your journey. We’re so grateful you trusted us to help you learn this lifesaving skill. To show our appreciation, we've gifted you each a SLWM swim cap! 🏊‍♀️ We hope every time you wear it, you're reminded of the hard work, bravery, and progress you've made. You’ve earned it! 💪 #swimlessonswithmary #SLWM #upstatesc #greenvillesc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swimgear #proudmoment #swimmilestones #babyswimlessons #supportswimlessons #growth #keepgoing #thankyou #swimmingcoach #swiminstructor #privateswimlessons #swimteamprep #waytogo #soproud #swimlessonssavelives #swimlessonsforkids #swimlessonsforadults

Tip Tuesday: Finding the Right Goggles 🥽💧 The right goggles can completely change your swimmer’s experience, making lessons more comfortable, focused, and fun! 🏊‍♂️ But not all goggles are created equal... and finding the perfect pair might take a little trial and error. Your child’s age, face size, and any sensory sensitivities all play a big role in what works best. So if the first pair doesn’t go well, don’t give up! Here are a few things we recommend looking for when shopping: ✔️ Soft silicone seals ✔️ Adjustable straps ✔️ A good fit around the eyes (no leaks!) ✔️ Straps that clip in the back to help avoid hair pulling ✔️ Wider eye coverage to reduce pressure and discomfort We’ve linked a few goggles that are popular with our families below and you can also find a full list under the “Gear Recommendations” section of our website! Let us know if you need help choosing a pair. We’re always happy to give feedback based on what we’ve seen work best in lessons! 🩵 🛒 Goggles 1: https://a.co/d/7At9K2a 🛒 Goggles 2: https://a.co/d/hD5cTom 🛒 Goggles 3: https://a.co/d/2dFc12v #tiptuesday #swimtips #goggles #swimgear #SLWM #swimlessonswithmary #upstatesc #greenvillesc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #privateswimlessons #drowningprevention #watersafetyeducation #watersafety #swimwithconfidence #swimlesson #learntoswim #swimskills #KiddingAroundGreenville #swimming #swimlessonssavelives #swimlessonsforkids #swimlessonsforadults #babyswimlessons

💡 Tip Tuesday: Consistency is Key in Swim Lessons! As we head into fall, it’s the perfect time to keep your swimmer on track. Staying consistent with lessons, even in cooler months, helps your child retain the water safety skills they’ve worked so hard to learn. Here’s why fall + winter lessons are a smart move: ✅ More flexibility in scheduling ✅ Warm, indoor lessons = a great way to beat the cold ✅ Builds confidence before next swim season ✅ Keeps safety skills fresh year-round Your swimmer’s progress doesn’t have to pause when summer ends. In fact, these seasons are often when the most growth happens! 🙌 📖 Read more about the benefits of staying consistent in our blog: 👉 https://www.swimlessonswithmary.com/start-early-swim-strong-the-perks-of-fall-winter-swim-lessons #tiptuesday #swimlessonswithmary #slwm #privateswimlessons #watersafetyfirst #consistency #consistencyiskey #greenvillesc #upstatesc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swimsafe #swimsuccess #watersafetyeducation #swimlesson #swimjourney #swimstrong #waterconfidence #swimskills #swimlessonsuccess #swimlessons #learntoswim #swimtips #keepgoing #growth

We’re honored to share that Swim Lessons With Mary has received a grant from @stepintoswim, a nationwide initiative dedicated to creating safe swimmers. This grant is helping us expand access to critical water safety education by funding swim scholarships for those in financial need. Drowning remains one of the leading causes of accidental death in young children, and we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn how to be safe and confident in the water. Thanks to Step Into Swim and our continued partnership with the @hopefloatsfoundation, families can now apply for need-based assistance to help cover the cost of lessons. 📌 Learn more about the impact of this grant and how to apply: https://www.swimlessonswithmary.com/opening-doors-to-water-safety-grants-partnerships-your-impact Thank you to our community and partners for supporting this life-saving work. 🩵 #watersafety #swimscholarships #stepintoswim #hopefloatsfoundation #swimlessonswithmary #slwm #drowningprevention #communityimpact #greenvillesc #spartanburgsc #upstatesc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swimming #swimlessonssavelives #learningtoswim #swimwithconfidence #privateswimlessons #swimlessons #waterconfidence #watersafety #watersafetyeducation #swimsafe #learntoswim #watersafetyfirst #swimlessonsuccess

Tip Tuesday: Nail Your Flip Turn 🏊‍♀️ Want to make your flip turns faster, cleaner, and more efficient? Here are 4 tips to help: 💧1. Time Your Turn Count your strokes from the “T” on the ground to the wall so you flip at just the right distance. This eliminates the guess work so you don’t flip too early or too late and crash into the wall. For backstroke, utilize the flags overhead for your stroke count! 💧2. Keep It Tight Use a fast, controlled tuck (chin to chest, knees in) for a smooth, compact flip that maintains momentum. 💧3. Breathe Smart Take your last breath a stroke or two before initiating the turn. Exhale through your nose while flipping to stay relaxed and keep water out. 💧 4. Streamline Push Push off the wall with power and lock into a tight streamline position for max speed and minimal drag. Practice these regularly and watch your flip turns transform! #tiptuesday #swimstrong #flipturntips #swimlessonswithmary #SLWM #upstatesc #greenvillesc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swimwithconfidence #swimskills #privateswimlessons #swimlessonssavelives #learningtoswim #drowningprevention #swimlessons #swimtips #learntoswim #swimlessonsuccess #competitiveswimming #lapswimming #freestyle #flipturn

Tip Tuesday: Back Float Like a Pro! 🏊‍♀️ Learning to float on your back? Here’s how to make it easier and more comfortable: Keep your head in a neutral position, with your eyes looking straight up. This simple shift helps to lift your belly and keep your body on the surface. Remember: “Eyes to the sky keeps your belly up high!” 👀⛅️ Bonus tips: 💧Pretend there’s a string pulling your belly button up to the sky 💧Or imagine pushing your spine into your belly to stay level Back floating is a lifesaving skill and we love make it fun to learn! #SLWM #tiptuesday #swimtips #backfloatbasics #watersafety #swimlessonswithmary #upstatesc #greenvillesc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #learningtoswim #swimlessonssavelives #watersafetyeducation #waterconfidence #swimming #drowningprevention #swimlesson #swimwithconfidence #morethanswimming #swimlessonsforadults #learntoswim #watersafetyfirst #swimlessonsuccess #swimmingcoach #swimlessonsforkids #babyswimlessons #lovewhatwedo

At Swim Lessons with Mary, a clean pool is a happy pool—and that means a safer, more fun experience for everyone! That’s why we require the Happy Nappy Duo for all swimmers who aren’t fully potty trained. With its unique silver lining, it’s the only swim diaper that helps kill germs like E. Coli, COVID-19, and even Cryptosporidium, while giving the CDC-recommended 3–5 minute leak protection window. Before each lesson, our instructors will kindly check that our littlest swimmers are suited up in their Happy Nappy Duo. To help protect everyone, we don’t allow disposable swim diapers—only the Duo provides the reliable protection our pool needs. Thanks for helping us keep things clean, safe, and splash-tastic! Use code SWIMWITHMARY for 10% off your Duo! #swimlessonswithmary #SLWM #upstatesc #greenvillesc #spartanburgsc #charlottenc #yeahthatgreenville #gvltoday #kiddingaroundgreenville #swimlessonsuccess #swimmingcoach #watersafetyfirst #watersafety #learningtoswim #swimlessonssavelives #swimlesson #swimminginstructor #watersafetyeducation #swiminstructor #swimlessons #swimcoach #babyswimlessons #swimlessonsforkids #swimlessonsforadults #lovewhatwedo #happynappyduo #discountcode

To help kids pursue that same love for the water, but making sure we stay safe while doing it. 💧What do you love about teaching at SLWM?
