A great place to learn to swim!

Living here on the Gulf Coast it is so important for every single person to swim safely and independently in the water.  If you are looking for a professional swim school with a heart, look no more. Our well-trained and certified staff are kind, patient, friendly and understanding. Each instructor has had significant experience teaching children, from babies (2 months and older)  through their teens, as well as adults.

The best part about Alex's Aqua Academy is that each and every lesson is a PRIVATE lesson. We have no group lessons. You will get our full attention teaching safety and independence in the water. Each child is will be swimming 3-5 feet by the end of 4 weeks...and they will have lots of fun learning! 

Mrs. Alex  

Mrs. Alex has been teaching swimmers of all ages for over 20+ years and brings a lifetime of aquatic experience to her instruction. A former competitive athlete, she has participated on swim teams, dive teams, and water polo teams, showcasing her deep connection to the water.

As an American Red Cross Certified Water Safety Instructor, Mrs. Alex is committed to ensuring water safety for all. She is also certified in First Aid and CPR through the American Red Cross and holds a diving certification from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI).

Her true passion lies in helping others become confident and safe in the water, with a special focus on fostering a love of swimming in children. Whether it's teaching fundamental water safety skills or guiding young swimmers toward confidence and joy, Mrs. Alex is dedicated to making a positive impact in every swimmer's journey. Her goal is to have the children loving the water as much as she does!

When she’s not at the pool, Mrs. Alex enjoys spending time with her family and their delightfully crazy dog, (who also LOVES the water!) and always keeps life interesting. Together, they cheer her on in her mission to inspire a love for swimming and promote water safety for all.

Mrs. Sam

Mrs. Sam is a proud wife to a loving husband and mom to her amazing daughter, who inspires her every day. Her home is full of love and a little bit of chaos, thanks to their "zoo" of pets — a playful dog, two curious cats, a fascinating snake, three vibrant fish, and even a charming snail!

She’s always had a deep love for the water. Growing up, it was her happy place, but it wasn’t until she moved to Florida in 2003 that she realized just how accessible and integral water is to daily life here. After her daughter was born, she became passionate about water safety. She wanted to ensure her daughter could enjoy the water safely and confidently, so Mrs. Sam enrolled her in swim lessons. That experience sparked something in her, and she realized how vital it is to help more children develop water safety skills.

Since then, she’d dedicated herself to this mission. She became CPR certified and trained with Alex to provide top-notch swim lessons in our community. Teaching children how to be safe and confident in the water is more than a job — it’s my passion. I’m here to help families feel secure and to make a positive difference, one swim lesson at a time!
