Our Programs

Survival Swimming

At our swim school, we believe that water safety is a fundamental skill that every child should learn. Our survival swim lessons are designed to teach aquatic skills that help your child navigate an accidental fall in or emergency situation in the water. These classes focus on water familiarization, self rescue techniques and ensuring safety in aquatic environments.
​
​Our internationally trained and certified instructors use proven methods to ensure your child is given the knowledge and skill necessary to respond effectively in unexpected situations. Each lesson is tailored to the individual needs, abilities, personality type, and learning style of the swimmer, ensuring a secure, safe, and supportive atmosphere.
​
​Our survival swim program will teach your child to respond to an accidental fall into water by rolling into and maintaining their back float while sounding an alarm for help. The main goal of this program is to teach your child the skills they'll need to save their own lives if they ever find their water accidentally.

Progressive Swimming

Our progressive swim program focuses on developing increased skill and confidence in the water. Along with maintaining and advancing learned survival swim skills, we focus on building analytical and problem solving abilities in the water. 
​
​.In our progressive swim program, your child will increase their proficiency in already learned survival swim skills increasing confidence and independence in the water. The main goals of this program are to teach your child how to assess their environment, making life-saving decisions, in seconds, on how to use their survival skills as needed, to get themselves to safety in the event of an unexpected entry into water.
​
​

Learn to Swim

Our Learn to Swim program is designed to help develop fundamental skills that form a solid foundation for strong swimmers. 
​
​With a focus on proper technique and efficiency, swim strokes are introduced one by one using a combination of drills to help students master the mechanics of each swim stroke while improving their strength, endurance and coordination in the water.  

Adaptive Aquatics

At Auntie Ashley's Aquatics, we believe all children should have the opportunity to learn how to be safe in and around water, regardless of their physical, cognitive or developmental abilities. Our Adaptive Aquatics program is designed to meet the unique needs of children with challenges such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorders, physical disabilities and learning differences.
​
​With a strong emphasis on water safety and drowning prevention, our certified instructors use specialized techniques, sensory-friendly tools, and adaptive methods to help swimmers develop fine and gross motor skills, increase strength and endurance and build confidence.

What Our Parents Say

Customer
Auntie Ashley has a beautiful combination of passion, discipline and love in the water. My 1 year old has not only improved his skills tremendously 4 classes, but is now able to relax and enjoy while following her instructions. She is also very disciplined and organized out of the water, by keeping parents updated about schedules, time, child progress and suggesting activities to try at home to build on water safety skills. I 100% recommend.

The proof is in the pudding! Our toddler has only been to a handful of classes and has already learned so much more here than he did in 6 months with his previous swim school! He is no longer fearful of the water. He is becoming so confident that every chance he gets, he is eager to show off his new found knowledge. As time progresses, we are certain that he will become a strong swimmer with the ability to escape danger if the situation arises. This is the best choice we've made. Auntie Ashley is giving our child lifesaving skills and for that, we are grateful.

Highly recommended! My son is finally being taught key survival swimming skills! After two long years at another institution, I failed to see my child progress in swimming independently. Every swimming class arm bands were placed on him. Week after week I thought 'maybe today will be the day he'll learn to swim or float without them'. That day never came until my son's first class with Auntie Ashley. She worked with him from that day, he pushed past his fear and they succeeded together! He finally floated on his own without those silly arm bands and he even boasted about it. With Auntie Ashley as his mentor, my heart is at ease knowing my son knows what to do when he is in and around water.

Amazed describes my mood and amazing has been my experience. My daughter has displayed water safety skills in under 3 months of enrolling at Auntie Ashley's. My husband and I are extremely pleased, especially because Auntie Ashley prioritizes water safety. Parents, give your child this gift of survival! God bless Auntie Ashley and her staff. I cant thank them enough!

At first, I was really nervous because my son, who has ASD, was uncomfortable and crying. He didn't even want them to pour water over his head. Nevertheless, I trusted the process, and slow but steady, my son has accomplished many milestones. within 3 months. From floating, to getting rings at the bottom of the pool, and doing 'crabby crabbies' all by himself to name a few. Not only have I seen great improvement in my own child, but also a few of the babies that swim before and after his class. The instructors are extremely patient and supportive and ensure each child is happy before they leave the pool, even when they've had a hard class.

She can come across as aggressive but, and there is a BUT, she gets results! My son just turned 4 and he had been to FOUR swim schools before Auntie Ashley. He had never floated and still had a severe fear of water. Auntie Ashley's methods may not be for everyone, but she gets it done (especially where others have failed). My son finally puts his head underwater and can float independently. I did think about trying to jump into the pool to save him myself but she's worth it! He was a bit fearful on his first session but on his second session, he came out of the pool and said 'Mummy, I can even save you now'. He is 4 years old and we have finally found his tribe.
