Not Just Another Swim School, Not Just Another Swim Coach…Little Dolphins Swim Academy Baby Swim Classes Near Piscataway, New Jersey
While it’s true that Little Dolphins Swim Academy in Bound Brook, New Jersey offers swim lessons starting with ages from 0-6 years, and they offer a full range of swim classes for 7 years old to 17 years old, Coach Chuck Warner’s decision to name Little Dolphins a “Swim Academy” instead of a swim school was based on his lifetime commitment to swimming and coaching excellence.
Chuck Warner has coached and played an important role in the development of Olympic-Medal Winning Swimmers, he has coached teenagers in high-performance competitive swimming and previously served as Rutgers University’s Head Swimming Coach for 13 years. During Warner’s tenure coaching at the Rutgers Aquatic Center (now known as the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center) on the Busch Campus of Rutgers University in Piscataway, Coach Warner won four Conference Coach of the Year Awards, led the Rutgers Women’s Swimming Program to its highest NCAA finish in school history and served as the President of the American Swimming Coaches Association. In addition, as a long-time New Jersey resident, Coach Warner also operated kids swim camps and clinics across the state for over 25 years.
His strong desire 15 years ago was to establish a comprehensive swimming program that began with a focus on basic swimming and water safety training for parents and their children. The Little Dolphins’ “Baby and Me” class serves as an introductory swim class that allows parents to have a wonderful experience with their child. Skills include how to enter the water safely, properly holding your child to encourage a feeling of freedom and begin balancing, submersion and safely exiting the pool.
“When parents have a newborn, there’s a nervousness at times about getting their infant or baby comfortable in the water. We started with developing a class which combines the parents, their baby and our swim instructors in the water together, helping to introduce the parent and their child in a calm setting, that relieves parent concerns and calms their anxiousness, which will translate to their baby being calm as well. As your child slowly learns how to move in the water, roll over and float on their own, they can then eventually be released by their parents and instructors to experience going underwater, naturally flipping and floating unassisted.”
Parents and swim instructors work together to get babies and toddlers comfortable swimming and in the water early in life, making them capable, helping them build confidence and developing a sense of security being in a pool.

Little Dolphins’ options for ongoing swim instruction are available to complete a lifetime progressive path for any level of swimmer.

The Little Dolphins Swim Classes, Helping Your Child Become Water-Safe and Becoming a Competitive Swimmer

Our goal is to help your child first become safe in the water as quickly as possible, while they learn to love swimming at the same time.

In a recent Google Review, a Little Dolphins parent shares her story of her son’s progress with learning to swim!
My son started at Little Dolphins when he was under 2 years old and he just turned 4. When we started in the parent and baby swim class, he wouldn’t even separate from me in the water. Today, he floated on his stomach holding his face in the water for 5 seconds. He had a true fear of the water and with the help of many of the amazing coaches at Little Dolphins, he has made tremendous strides in becoming a more confident and skilled swimmer. A special shout out to Coach Cece for being so energetic, engaging, fun, charismatic, and skilled at teaching my son! I highly recommend this swim school!
