Welcome



welcome to the turtle pond!



Welcome to Safe Turtle Swim School: where little turtles learn to swim!

Tiffany DeBerry, a licensed instructor with more than a decade of experience, works to ensure that every child is safe. In Florida, the leading cause of death in children under four is drowning. Tiffany believes in doing all she can to change this, not only through teaching children lifesaving skills, but also through educating parents.

"What I teach is a third line of defense. The first is always have eyes on the children. The second, a fence. The third is learning to float and swim."



Services



Infant Float



Children from 6 months and older can come and gain the muscle memory to float. Infants can gain the ability to flip onto their backs and maintain a lifesaving float for upwards of one minute.


Lessons are only ten minutes long, four days a week. Graduation times vary according to each child's individual needs.



Swim Float & Strokes



Once a float has been mastered, Tiffany works with children from ages one and up, teaching them to swim under the water, while building proper breath control. Children learn how to seek out the edges of the water, along with learning to float when they become fatigued.


As kids grow more coordinated and confident, Tiffany can work with them to develop basic strokes.



Instructor Training



For those interested in learning how to teach this amazing skill, Tiffany offers a rigorous and thorough training process, beginning with an extensive interview. Tiffany combines academics with over 100 hours in the water for hands on training.




They asked if she had a hidden flotation device.





Pippa started swim with Tiffany when she was 14 months old. One year later, on vacation, some women stopped me and asked where her flotation device was. They said they had never seen a two year old float and swim so well. I explained that she is her own flotation device! We are so thankful we made the choice to get Pippa lessons, and Tiffany has instilled a love of the water in our girl!



She saved my son's life.





I was 7 months pregnant and my sons were playing outside. I realized I couldn't see my youngest, who was only about 1 and a half at that point... That 'mom instinct' came, and I rushed to the lake as fast as I could (not fast at that point!). My son had fallen off the dock and was floating on his back in the water, waiting for me. Without Tiffany, my story would have a different ending.





We are SO happy.





I was so nervous about my son starting his swim program. About 1 minute into the lesson, I knew I had nothing to worry about. Miss Tiffany is incredible. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she has the personality, demeanor and patience to make the children feel completely comfortable and safe with her. We are SO happy that we listened to the recommendation of a friend and would recommend STS to everyone!



She's magic.





I love watching her work her magic with my stubborn little peanut!



She is the Baby Whisperer of swim instructors!





There are not enough words to express how truly amazing Tiffany is!

I was so hesitant and nervous to put my two year old in swim lessons, but after the first lesson, I knew I made the right decision. She is the​ baby whisperer of swim instructors. She is filled with such compassion, patience and knowledge. My son looks forward to his swim lessons and it's amazing to see the progress in such little time!

I HIGHLY recommend Tiffany!
