Little Fins Swim School - Garden of the Gods (Formerly Mermaid Cove)
Private
Little Fins Swim School is a family-owned Colorado Springs swim school operating since 2008 from two heated indoor salt-water facilities kept at 94 degrees, teaching safety and survival swimming from infants up to swim-team level. Alongside year-round lessons it runs seasonal swim camps for ages 3-10 in small groups, held over the summer and during winter, spring and other school breaks: swimmers aged 3-6 work on foundational water safety and comfort while those aged 7-10 focus on stroke refinement, breathing technique and endurance. Adaptive lessons for swimmers with special needs are available.

★★★★★Anastasia PerervaWe had 20 classes this year with Ms. Rihanna, and we truly appreciate her wonderful leadership and the care she put into teaching my son how to swim, build confidence, and feel comfortable in the water. Before working with her, he never wanted to stay in the water for more than a few minutes. Now he acts like a little mermaid or shark and absolutely loves it! He enjoys the water not only at the Little Fin pool but also at home, where he would happily stay for hours if I didn’t have to drag him out. Thank you, Ms. Rihanna, for being so supportive of my son and for teaching him important basic water safety skills. We are very grateful.
★★★★★K. P.We are SO thankful for Ms. Deana at Little Fins! My three girls have been swimming with her for several years now, and have gone from being afraid of the water to confidently diving into the deep end! Her kindness and patience is truly unmatched and we are so thankful for her friendship and passion for teaching water safety. Believe it or not, swimming with three young kids at the pool is a fun and enjoyable experience now! We can’t recommend Ms. Deana and Little Fins enough.
★★★★★Claire FriscoWe LOVE our Miss Deana at Little Fins! My kids have been swimming with her for several years. They both quickly learned the skills they needed to save themselves if they ever ended up in the water without an adult around, but now they are both little fish who love to dive and swim around. Miss Deana is always working on new skills with them and they love being in the water!
★★★★★Francesca KroppWe have been in lessons with Ms. Rhianna for well over a year now possibly over 2 and truly love her. She has patience and understanding with a very emotional 7-year-old and then jumps into her next lesson with even more patience with our two-year-old. She has listened to my thoughts and truly cares about my kids. Little Fins Swim School has been amazing for our lessons, Garden of the Gods location is welcoming and has a homie feel we like it very much.
★★★★★Mary ManuelMy son, Milo, was a tough egg to crack. He struggled with swim lessons at the Union location when he was 2. I don’t know if it was the noise or what. I took him here to the GoG location due to a scheduling need… I am so happy I did. Ms Deana is amazing with my strong willed child. He has made so much growth since coming back to swim. Ms Deana can talk him through emotions and tough guy attitudes. Thank you!!!!
