Little Flippers Swim School in Winchester teaches children to swim, from free classes for babies 3–6 months old (described in 2025 reviews) to kids learning on their own. An August 2026 Google review praised instructor Kassie as "incredibly patient, warm, and engaging" in a toddler class. Another from August 2026 says the school made two of the writer's sons strong swimmers: "We drove 30 minutes to go to a 30 minute class every week happily." The website claims 50 years in business. There are complaints about cost and class conditions. A February 2026 review objected to parent-child classes rising from $37 to $44 after the school was "bought out by Emler", and said the manager would not refund the charge. In a 2025 review, a parent-toddler family called the pool crowded, with a 6-to-1 ratio, and was told only $111 of $183 would come back. Another 2025 review described a pool deck that is "sometimes slippery" and inconsistent substitute instructors.
Our toddler has had such a great experience in Kassie’s class. She is incredibly patient, warm, and engaging, and knows exactly how to make little one feel comfortable and confident in the water. Thanks Kassie!
I highly recommend Little Flippers. The biggest asset is the staff! All of our grandchildren have gone to Little Flippers and I can’t say enough about the staff. They are always so pleasant, professional and encouraging to the children. My favorite instructors are Mr Zach, Mr Kevin, Miss Veronica and Mr Eli. They have all been wonderful and have taught the kids to be comfortable in the water and helped them to develop life long skills. Thank you to all of you !
Great place for littles to learn to swim. Very positive family friendly and most important kid centered.
I can't recommend this place enough. They are clean, wicked friendly, knowledgable, passionate, and affordable. Special shout out to swim instructor Kassie! She's amazing!
I have three sons that have all gone and one currently goes to Little Flippers. This place has made my two oldest THE BEST swimmers. My youngest is well on his way to become an excellent swimmer as well. The staff is exceptional and super helpful. This is one place that I do not have anything negative to say. They are so patient with all the children even when my infant was crying in the beginning they never seem annoyed or bother by it. If your child needs to learn to swim there is no better place than this one, no matter the distance. We drove 30 minutes to go to a 30 minute class every week happily. Best money spent.
