It isn’t just what we teach. It’s how much we care about the kids we’re teaching.

At Kids First Swim School Springfield, “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care” isn’t simply a motto on the wall. It’s something our team has built this school around.

For us, teaching a child to swim means meeting them where they are—celebrating the little victories, helping them work through the hard moments, building their confidence, and making sure they know there’s someone in their corner.

Over the next few months, we’re going to introduce you to some of the people who make our school what it is and share what CARE looks like through their eyes.

Because skills matter.

But the way a child feels while they’re learning them matters, too.

Skill of the Month: Unassisted Front Float

In Level 2, swimmers learn to float independently on their front, building the balance, body control, and confidence needed for independent swimming.

Small skill. Big step toward swimming on their own.

September’s Tree of New Beginnings!

A new school year is full of fresh starts, new adventures, and so much to look forward to!

“This school year, I’m excited to…”

Maybe it’s meeting a new teacher, seeing friends, learning something new, starting a new activity—or reaching a new goal in the pool!

Stop by our tree, grab a pencil or crayon, and share what YOU are excited about this school year.

Here’s to new beginnings! ✏️

Summer may be ending, but swimming season never has to.

Just like reading, math, or sports, swimming improves with consistent practice. Year-round lessons help children build confidence, strengthen technique, reinforce water safety habits, and continue progressing instead of spending weeks relearning skills after a long break.

Swimming isn't just another extracurricular activity—it's a lifelong skill that helps keep children safer in and around the water. The CDC recognizes basic swimming and water safety skills as an effective drowning prevention strategy.

Keep your child's progress moving forward this school year.

August Skill of the Month: Supported Back Float!

Learning to float on their back is one of the foundational skills we work on in Level 1.

With support from their instructor, swimmers practice relaxing in the water, keeping their head back and body in the proper position, while learning to breathe comfortably.

These early skills are building blocks for both water safety and future swimming skills.

Keep practicing, Level 1 swimmers—you’re building a strong foundation one float at a time!
