Water Lilies Bermuda is your key to water safety

Bermuda’s only infant self rescue lesson provider!

Water Lilies Bermuda is a certified learn-to-swim school proudly certified by PediaSwim, and accredited by the International Swim School Association (ISSSA). We are also a member of the United States Swim School Association (USSSA) — a testament to our commitment to international best practices in aquatic education.

As Bermuda’s only provider of Infant Self-Rescue lessons, we specialize in teaching water safety, aquatic problem-solving, and independent swimming skills to swimmers as young as 6 months.

Our core program, built on the PediaSwim methodology, begins with a concentrated, developmentally-appropriate course that teaches students to swim and float independently. These foundational skills are carefully scaffolded to promote: confidence in the water, safe and effective swim techniques, and transferable aquatic skills across recreational, competitive, and lifelong activities.

We believe that every child deserves the skills to be safe, strong, and confident in the water — for life.

Through our hands on, one on one approach, our students are guided through each program which is personalized to their age and skill appropriate level. In three to five weeks, students who enroll into our Basic Training Course learn to float at the top of the water just like a water lily through a variety of simulated entries into the water.

A swim-float-swim sequence is the foundation of all the strokes that is also taught. It is important for swimmers to be comfortable in both a face down and face up posture and learn how to breathe and rest when swimming towards a destinations. Once our students have mastered this sequence, they can then move on to learning the different strokes.

Our cutting-edge system for learning strokes is designed to give learners the best possible chance of success. The core strength and self-discipline that they learn through the swim-float-swim will help them to become confident and poised competitors as we have seen in our four- and five-year-old students.

Youth and adult lessons are also offered and are a great way to learn to swim as a beginner, develop stroke proficiency, or train for triathlons. Swimming is a great exercise for people of all ages and can be very beneficial to your health.
