About The Little Dippers Swim School
Our Philosophy
At The Little Dippers Swim School, we believe that swimming is more than just a sport - it's a way of life And a survival skill. We strive to create a welcoming and supportive community where swimmers of all levels can come together to learn, grow, and have fun. We include whole families in the learning to create safe, confident swimmers in a family setting. Families learning together to achieve everyone’s goal of safety first in the water is our main goal.
Our Programs
Our swim lessons are designed for beginners of any age who are
just learning or have a fear of the water. We offer a variety of programs to meet your needs. Our specialties are teaching a survival style of swim lesson to the youngest swimmers, fearful
swimmers and swimmers who may have special needs or a neurodiverse style of learning. Our experienced coaches are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and reach your full potential in the water.
Our Facilities
Our pool is in the backyard of a wonderful childcare facility in Paw Paw. The pool is designed to provide the best possible swimming experience for our youngest swimmers. Our 16x32 foot pool accommodates up to 6 families at a time with a depth of 4 feet all the way across. Our outdoor pool is heated by solar energy, to make the water comfortable and extend our swim season. In the off season, we can use Bronson athletic Club facilities, or the local YMCA facilities with the purchase of a
membership for private lessons only.
Our Mission
At The Little Dippers Swim School, our goal is to provide high-quality instruction to families and children.

It is of great importance to help swimmers of all ages and abilities improve their skills and reach their full potential in the water.
