Leah Thaggard Swimming Lessons

A Family-Run Swim & Safety Program in West Hattiesburg

Thaggard Swimming & Safety Lessons believes water safety and swimming skills are crucial life skills, especially for children. We are a family-run business passionate about empowering young minds and bodies through fun and engaging swim lessons.

Our Beginnings

Our journey began with a deep personal connection to water safety. Like many families, we were heartbroken by the tragic loss of a young child to drowning. This experience ignited a determination to share the importance of water safety and empower children with the skills they need to navigate water environments confidently.

Our Philosophy

We firmly believe that water safety lessons are about more than just teaching children to swim. We focus on:

• Water familiarization: Introducing young children to the water in a positive and nurturing environment.
• Basic swimming skills: Teaching children essential swimming techniques like kicking, doggy paddling, floating, and basic freestyle.
• Safety awareness: Instilling crucial water safety skills like identifying hazards, staying close to shore, and recognizing signs of distress.

Our Approach

Our experienced instructors, led by founding member Leah, are dedicated to meeting each child's individual needs. We use a gentle and encouraging approach, focusing on positive reinforcement and creating a safe and comfortable learning environment. We tailor our lessons to different age groups and confidence levels.

What Sets Us Apart

• Child-centered learning: We prioritize creating a fun and engaging experience for children to learn at their own pace.
• Individualized attention: Our instructors provide personalized guidance and adjustments throughout the lessons.
• Comprehensive safety curriculum: We teach vital water safety skills alongside swimming techniques.
• Family-friendly approach: We encourage parent involvement and offer flexible scheduling options.
