About Us
Our Facility
We offer lessons year-round in our indoor pool. Our water is kept between 90 and 92 degrees, which is considered to be skin-temperature (your body neither gains nor loses heat at this water temperature). This allows our students to focus solely on swimming, rather than being uncomfortably cold!
We have a viewing area where parents and family are encouraged to watch and support their little dolphin; siblings can play and have fun in our toy area!
Programs
At Donna’s Dolphins lessons are offered year round at an indoor pool, with water temperatures between 90-92 degrees, with the air temperature around 93 degrees.
We have a viewing area where the parents are encouraged to watch and support their little dolphin, and siblings can play and have fun in our toy area.
Parents will learn everything from the instructor so that you can carry on the work with your child. This process will be exciting and reinforcing for your child, knowing that you as parents will be just like Donna’s Dolphins instructors. Our wish is to provide a positive and fun experience for everyone.

BABY DOLPHIN CLASSES: Parent/Child
This class is for infants 6 months to 3 yrs. This is a water adjustment and basic skills class teaching parents proper holds with their children in the water so they will feel comfortable and confident.
Along with the water adjustment skills we will learn jumping, reaching, grabbing, blowing bubbles, kicking, floating, climbing out of the pool and shimmying along the edge of the pool.
Slowly they will learn facial immersion coupled with learning to hold breath. This class will begin to guide the parent and child through some initial apprehensions and basic skills to practice outside of the dolphin classes. These classes are small in size with individulized attention to all children and parents. We also sing, laugh and play games too along with learning advanced techniques! Come join the pod and swim with the Dolphins!

PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS:
Through a variety of creative and engaging activities, children will learn comfort in the water, breath control, facial immersion, pushing off the steps, gliding, kicking and propelling themselves several ft. through the water with their face submerged and getting a breath with our swim-roll/float/swim technique. They also learn basic safety skills and floating. They love diving for rings first off the top step then working their way to the bottom of the pool. As children progress and build endurance we work on all strokes and jumping in from the side of the pool and circle swimming back to the wall or steps to safety. Of course for good listening and working hard, children get a slide ride and turtle or dolphin ride at the end along with a trip to the treasure box!
SEMI PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS:
Children that have finished the 10 day swim program may move to a semi private where they will do a pre-swim team type work out! They love to race on kick boards, work on their strokes, learn dives and do flip turns.
ADULT BEGINNERS AND THE MORE ADVANCED:
Adults that are learning for the first time will learn confidence and the skills they need to swim and swim well!
I work on proper body positioning in all my swim lessons and proper strokes. We also cover floating and treading water.
For the more advanced, I can evaluate your stroke for streamlining, check your alternate breathing and work on advanced strokes. If you are looking to get faster and streamline your strokes or even get ready for a triathalon, come visit me for a fun, fast trial swim evaluation.

Here is what people have to say:
Hi Miss Donna:
Merry Christmas from the Powell’s in Lake Saint Louis, MO
Rob and I still feel so blessed that our children were touched by your “magic!”
You are the best!
We just got back from the Bahamas’ tonight and while we were there we were talking about you because we had with us our Donna’s Dolphin Swim bags you gave us 4 years ago before we moved! We still use them all the time!
It’s great to see you are still going strong!
