FLOAT Swim Academy is a Coeur d'Alene swim school offering personalized one-on-one swim lessons for children starting at age two, taught by a longtime private instructor. Lessons run in week-long, 30-minute daily sessions. It is a swim-lesson provider rather than a kids' summer camp.

★★★★★Madison KoeffBlown away by the progress in only 5 days. My only hope at the end of the program was that my daughter would put her face under water. I had no idea she’d be swimming on her own, grabbing toys from the bottom of the pool, jumping in, floating on her back, and most importantly, having so much fun! Before this she would only wear a floaty, hated water on her face, and refused to try going under water. I have a completely different kid now and it’s incredible. The first three days she did cry a little bit before going into the pool but she quickly calmed down and had fun. The last day she was all smiles to get in the water. So worth the investment and might save her life one day!! Thankful for Chelsea teaching her to feel confident and safe in the water. Can’t wait for her next session in the future!
★★★★★Amy StephensChelsea is THE BEST swim instructor. We’ve taken many classes in the area & no one was able to teach my hardest oldest kiddo who hates to get his hair wet, to swim!! My other two kids are 4&2 & can independently float on their backs. We feel safe going into summer beach season in CDA!!
★★★★★Tiffany ArnoldChelsea is amazing. We have been going to her for a couple years now and it has been so wonderful watching my daughter progress. Now at 4 years old she can swim the length of the pool. Chelsea is sweet with the children but also gets the job done and doesn't let the kids get out of swim lessons by crying. It's amazing to see her work. I've referred a few people to her now! My daughter loves to send videos of her practicing her skills too!
★★★★★Alicia HornFloat Swim is absolutely amazing!! Our daughter Abby was terrified of getting her head wet and only recently comfortable in the water with a life jacket. By the end of 5 days with Chelsea Abby was swimming half the length of the pool (underwater), jumping into the pool and floating on her back! It was such a joy to watch. Abby really trusted Chelsea and it made the lessons a breeze. 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a swim instructor and we will be going back!
★★★★★Sarah ClareChelsea was absolutely amazing with our three year old daughter. She’s always loved the water but was pretty nervous to start dunking her head. On day two my daughter started to struggle with that skill, but Chelsea was so reassuring and I felt so comfortable to trust her and the process even though it was tough to watch my child struggle. She was nervous to go back for the third day, but with Chelsea’s amazing skills and encouragement she was able to start swimming on her own THAT DAY. I was amazed at the progression and how far she was able to take her in just a few short sessions. Going into the summer, I’m SO thankful that we were able to have our daughter work with Chelsea and become a safe swimmer. She is so calm and present and my child immediately felt comfortable with her. The separate viewing room with a space for siblings to play was icing on the cake of the wonderful experience. I highly recommend that anyone with littles looks into this incredible opportunity! I’m so glad we did it.
