Your Child is More Capable Than You Imagine!
Children are capable of incredible things—even at the youngest ages. With the right certified Aquatic Behavioral Specialist, your child can learn how to float, breathe, and swim with purpose in the water—all before they’ve mastered reading or riding a bike.
Our water survival classes help build your child’s mindset to swim, float, and live!. They go beyond traditional swim lessons, swimming laps or learning—it’s about helping your child know exactly what to do if they ever find themselves in water alone.
Whether it’s a backyard pool, a lake, or body of water, you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’ve been trained to think, act, and survive in the water until help arrives.
Let’s replace fear with ability and uncertainty with empowerment.
Your child’s journey to water confidence starts here.
Your child will learn to become part
of their own drowning prevention plan.
These lessons aren’t just about water safety—they’re about giving our kids the chance to grow, thrive, and experience all the joys life has to offer.
As a mom of four, I understand how deeply we all dream about our children’s futures—celebrating birthdays, sharing bedtime stories, and making memories that last a lifetime.
Each survival lesson is a gift of confidence, protection, and love. It’s one small step that makes a big difference.
Their safety matters. Their future is worth it. And we’re in this together.
Your Child is More Capable Than You Can Imagine–
Watch Them Swim, Float, and LIVE!

What Parent’s Have to Say
This is such a great tool for babies-kids. My first child started at 8 mos and has loved the water. He is now 3 and can pretty much swim on his own. The biggest lesson is teaching kids how to float should they fall in. My second child is learning to swim and float at 1.5 yo. We love Desiree!
— L. Wiggins
We’ve had the absolute best experience with Desiree over the past two years! She has been so patient and encouraging with my daughter, helping her build confidence in the water while making swim lessons something she truly looks forward to each week. The bond they’ve built is so special, and it’s clear Desiree genuinely cares about her students.
— J. Ruth
It is amazing to see these littles learn and master their swim-float-swim skills! In the land of swimming pools everywhere, knowing my kids have some basic and critical skills in the water is invaluable. Highly recommend Desiree!!

Class and Schedule, and Price Overview
Class Overview:
(all classes are one-on-one private lessons)
The Swim 4 Life DFW SELF-RESCUE CLASS is based on the age of your child. Children 6 month -18 months (independently sitting up) or 18 month and older will benefit from this specific, private, one-on-one, class.
In the 6 month-18 month SELF-RESCUE CLASS,
your child will learn the self-rescue skill of rolling onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe. They learn to maintain this position until help arrives.
In the 18 month and older SELF-RESCUE CLASS,
your child will learn the full self-rescue sequence of swimming until they need air, rotating onto their back to float, then rolling back over to continue swimming. Your child is taught how to repeat this sequence until they reach the safety of the steps, side of the pool, or the shoreline.
