Read What Others Have Said About Little Rivers

"As a mother of two young boys (Cash 6 Case 2) I am forever grateful that we met Mrs.Marcia with Little Rivers Infant Aquatics. Our oldest son had no fear of water and that terrified me. Mrs.Marcia not only instilled one of the most crucially needed skills into our children she taught them with compassion and love. It’s a good feeling as a parent knowing this program provides our children with life saving water tactics. Watching your child learn something that isn’t easy at first but with consistency and commitment to the program you will see the light bulb moment and their face light up. There was many tears in the beginning both from them and myself. But those quickly turned into laughter and excitement! My children ask to go back to lessons moments after we leave until they return. We love swim lessons with Mrs.Marcia! "

"I was super skeptical the first time I took the grand babies to swimming lessons, but I'm here to say Mrs. Marcia is a miracle worker! I strongly recommend her services.❤️"

"We’ve been bringing our two boys to Little Rivers Aquatics for swim lessons with Marcia for the past two years, and we couldn’t be happier! Marcia is an exceptional swim instructor—calm, compassionate, and truly dedicated to her students. Both of our boys absolutely adore her and look forward to every lesson. Her patient approach has helped them build confidence in the water while making learning fun. We highly recommend Marcia and Little Rivers Aquatics to any family looking for top-notch swim instruction!"

"We absolutely love Marcia! She began teaching Survival swim lessons to my daughter when she was 4, and now at 6 years old, she’s a very confident swimmer. I won’t sugarcoat it — the first week was tough. My daughter was scared and unsure, but Marcia stayed calm, patient, and consistent. Then one day, everything just clicked. From that point on, my daughter began swimming and responding to Marcia beautifully. There’s a reason this program is structured to go multiple times a week for several weeks — it works. It’s far more effective than just a few casual lessons. Now my 2-year-old son is in lessons with Marcia, and he’s doing amazing. He took to it right away. Marcia just has a gift for connecting with kids, helping them feel safe while still challenging them. Her patience and confidence make all the difference. I truly can’t recommend her enough. She has given me so much peace of mind as a mom around water — and that’s priceless"

"After two years with Little Rivers Infant Aquatics and Mrs. Marcia, words can’t fully express how thankful I am for the love and care she has poured into my son. Teaching a toddler survival swim isn’t easy—it comes with big emotions and big challenges—but Mrs. Marcia met every moment with such patience, compassion, and understanding. She saw my little boy for who he is and helped him grow in both confidence and ability. What’s meant just as much is the way she and her husband supported me as a mom. They gave me the tools, the reassurance, and the encouragement I needed to help him thrive. Because of them, I not only feel safer taking him around water—I feel empowered. Living in Florida, these skills are essential. But what I’ve gained from Mrs. Marcia is so much more than just water safety. I’ve gained confidence, peace of mind, and a deep sense of gratitude for someone who truly cares."

"Our family has had the pleasure of attending swim lessons with Marcia at Little River Aquatics since 2024. My then 9yr old attended intermediate level lessons which focused on making sure he knew the proper way to float , swim, breathe etc. A child can never have too much knowledge or experience when it comes to swimming/being in the water. (If you pay attention during the lessons you may learn a thing or two yourself) Now to the main reason we reached out to LRA. At the time our youngest child ( 3 yrs old) had no prior swim experience and we were desperately searching for someone who could provide one-on-one swim lessons . The first couple days of lessons were a little rough BUT let me tell you by the end of the first week of lessons he was adapting and learning so much. We are now on our second season/year of swim lessons with my youngest , he is still learning and loving it. I can’t express the feeling as a parent knowing your child has the tools he/she needs if an accident were to occur around water . Please don’t hesitate to INVEST in this life saving skill that your child needs !I have and will continue to recommend Marcia at LRA every chance I get."

"I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Little Rivers Swimming! This is our second year of lessons (mind you we drive an hour one way to just attend, marcia truly is that amazing) and we will always recommend them to everyone we know. Marcia (the instructor) is phenomenal. She is very patient, loves kids, and knows what she is doing. I give her a lot of credit for what she does (as each child is different). My family and I will always say, these lessons have been the best investment. My daughter has learned so much and it is the best feeling to watch your child float, and know where to find air if needed. Accidents do happen and it’s best for everyone to be prepared! You will come in as a stranger and leave as family! 10/10 highly recommend bringing your children to little rivers!"

"Mrs. Marcia has been an incredible blessing to our family. She began teaching my daughters infant survival swim in 2023, and she has been their swim coach ever since. Watching them grow from learning to float and survive in the water to confidently swimming with strength and skill has been amazing—and it’s all thanks to her. What truly sets Marcia apart is her deep understanding of each child as an individual. She doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—she meets each of my daughters exactly where they are, tailoring her coaching style to how they best receive feedback and learn. One of my girls responds best to gentle encouragement, while the other thrives with direct coaching—and somehow, Marcia balances both effortlessly. She’s not only built their confidence in the water but also helped shape their character and resilience. Her mix of high expectations, patience, and compassion is rare and so appreciated. We are beyond grateful for the foundation she’s given our girls in both safety and swimming skill—and for the joy she brings to every lesson."
