Little Fishes Swim School: A Healthier Way to Learn To Swim
by Coach Ruthie Zarren, ASCA, ALTST, CPO

After my son was born, I saw a need for a nurturing, healthy place for children to learn to swim. I wanted a place where parents could spend time and bond with their babies, and children could develop a foundation for a lifetime of safe swimming. So a year ago, I opened Little Fishes Swim School to provide personalized swim instruction in a healthy environment, where children would thrive.

Little Fishes is able to nurture our students with small classes (no more than five children) that address the needs of each child, individually. Our curriculum is developmentally appropriate and fun. Our staff has childcare or education backgrounds, as well as, experience with swim instruction. Our goal is to discover what motivates each of our swimmers and help them progress.

We have an indoor salt water pool, which is healthier for young lungs, gentler on delicate skin, and better for our environment. This type of sanitation system keeps the water clean and safe without the harsh feel and smell of chemicals. The salt is barely noticeable, because the concentration is 90% less than sea water. In addition, our pool is kept at 90 degrees, which is similar to bath water. This temperature helps children relax and feel more comfortable.

Little Fishes has classes for infants and toddlers, beginners and more accomplished swimmers. We offer lunchtime exercise classes and year round Pool Parties for all ages. We are now enrolling our Winter Session which begins on January 12th at 8200 Brentwood Industrial Drive (rear entrance), Brentwood MO 63144. Due to the small size of our classes, they fill quickly, so call 314-647-SWIM for more information.
