About Us

Our Unique Approach

Connection based teaching to help every swimmer find their sea legs!

Our intuitive teaching approach focuses on trust and safety. There is only one child and instructor in the water at a time to create a quiet and focused experience. We use a variety of pool toys and games to keep swimmers engaged and challenged. The lessons are predictable and repetitive to help nervous swimmers find comfort. We wear goggles to find comfort going underwater. The pool is kept at a toasty 89 degrees all year long for maximum comfort.

Our Mission

Every person can learn to be safe and love the water

Our Vision

  • To support families and bring our successful swim methods to Felton, helping every child thrive.

Our Values

To ensure trust, safety,& personalization in swimming while building a supportive community for families.

Meet The Founder At Little Fish Swim School

I combine water safety and child development principals to make learning to swim a magical experience for children and adults.

Emily Bradley

Founder

With over 20 years of experience teaching kids the art of swimming, my journey as a swimming coach began as a heartfelt side hustle fueled by a deep passion for both the sport and nurturing young minds. Combining my expertise as a child development facilitator, I’ve discovered the profound joy of connecting with children on an emotional level, understanding their fears, dreams, and triumphs. For me, swimming is more than a skill—it’s a transformative experience that builds confidence, resilience, and joy. Guided by compassion, I’m dedicated to fostering each child’s overall development, ensuring they leave every lesson not only as better swimmers but as more confident and empowered individuals.
