  • In a 1:1 setting, I’ve found that a 45-minute lesson allows time for children to build trust, warm up at their own pace, and feel comfortable in the water. Especially for young swimmers, the first part of the lesson is often spent acclimating to the instructor and environment. With a longer lesson, there is space for both skill-building and play, creating a more relaxed, positive experience. I’ve found that at 30 minutes, many children are just beginning to feel comfortable—while 45 minutes allows for deeper learning, confidence-building, and a more meaningful connection. I am all about building trust and a relationship with your child and making lessons as joyful as possible. I find 45 min to be a great balance of skill building and time to connect and build a trusting bond.

  • No, Lauren is completely mobile, meaning she travels to residential pools. You are also welcome to use your community pool, or a friend, family, or neighbor’s pool for lessons.

  • The short answer: the more, the better. Consistency is key — the more practice your child gets in the pool, the quicker they’ll progress and build confidence, strength, coordination, and fundamental skills.


    I suggest booking at least four lessons to begin. I provide regular feedback and assess your child’s progress to recommend additional lessons if needed.

    Two lessons per week is ideal if possible, but at least one lesson per week allows for consistent progress. I also provide suggestions for practice between lessons, which greatly helps development.

    Learning to swim is gradual, developing over multiple seasons as your child reaches different stages. It is a foundational, life-saving skill that should be prioritized.

    Additionally, varied movement on land — climbing, running, jumping, etc. — builds coordination, strength, balance, flexibility, and body awareness, all of which support swimming skills.

  • The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends swimming lessons for children as young as 1 years old. Associated readiness for swim lessons is being able to sit, stand, and walk independently, have good upright balance, be able to voluntarily hold breath, and jump on land. By 18 months old, most children have reached these developmental milestones and they’re also more able to understand and comprehend language and instruction, as well as communicate back. As part of our method, we believe that respecting the child by communicating what’s going to happen and allowing them to express their readiness is imperative to their success in learning and loving to swim.

  • Lauren is a certified swim instructor for ages 12 months through 5 years old with Swim Lessons University, a Lifeguard and Swimming Instructor Equivalency Advisory course approved by the Florida Department of Health.

    Additionally, she is certified through the American Red Cross in Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED. Splash Mobile Swim Lessons is licensed and insured.

    Lauren has been a lifelong swimmer and swam competitively for many years. She’s also a PADI-certified scuba diver and spent a month diving in the most challenging and biodiverse waters on the planet in Raja Ampat, Indonesia.

    Lauren is passionate about learning and will continue to build on her certifications and knowledge of child development and swim instruction.

  • Lauren provides one-on-one swim lesson instruction, with one child in the pool at a time. This ensures that she can provide the most individualized attention during lessons, and it’s also the safest environment for every child 4 and under.

  • Any child that’s not yet potty trained should wear a snug fitting swim diaper (we recommend cloth, adjustable swim diapers) each lesson. A swim suit, and in particular long-sleeve swim suits such as a rash guard are encouraged to protect from too much sun exposure. Please apply sunscreen 15min before each lesson.
