My Services

Did you know drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in children under 5? I dont write this to scare you but rather provide you with a real statistic. The good news is it’s preventable.

I offer both Swim-Float-Swim and Infant Survival programs, focusing on real self-rescue skills. Lessons are short, consistent, and structured to build a reliable, instinctive response in the water.

Swim-Float-Swim (18 mo+) : 6 weeks program Monday – Thursday Swim-Float-Swim Program Information CLICK HERE

By the end of 6 weeks, your child will:
Swim independently
Roll onto their back to breathe
Float calmly
Return to swimming

Infant Survival Float Program (6 mo+) : 4 weeks Monday – Thursday Infant Survival Float Program Information CLICK HERE

By the end of 4 weeks, your child will:
Roll onto their back to breathe
Float calmly
Sustain a float for several minutes until help arrives

Parent Testimonials

Rating: 5 out of 5.

“Our three-year-old daughter, Everly, absolutely loved her swim lessons with Ms. Casey. From the very first class, Ms. Casey created a warm, patient, and encouraging environment that made Everly feel completely comfortable and safe in the water. Everly would bounce with excitement before each class and would proudly tell us (and her animals at home) her new skills afterward.

We highly recommend Ms. Casey to any family looking for a swim instructor who can make learning to swim both effective and genuinely enjoyable for young children. She is a wonderful teacher and we are so grateful for the confidence and love of the water she helped instill in our daughter.”

I felt everyday, she always had a smile and gentle nature. I do think overall Artemis felt safe in the water with Casey and trusted her. From every lesson I watched she was attentive and aware of Artemis and worked with her abilities.

I think Casey will make a great teacher back home. Keeping the kiddos safe as they learn to keep themselves safe. “

“Our 20-month-old Garrett loved water a little too much — all affinity, none of the skills. Six weeks with Casey Ballard at Smart Swim Infant Aquatics changed that. He went from nervous in the deep end to asking to go swim with her. Casey has the rare ability to be warm and reassuring to a crying toddler while still getting the real work done. Any parent would be lucky to hand their kid off to her.”

“Casey was my 19-month-old’s instructor for Swim Float Swim, and she was wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable and has the perfect balance of being firm while still kind and encouraging. My daughter absolutely loved her and still asks about her every night. I would highly recommend Casey to anyone considering swim lessons for their child.”
