I cannot recommend Candice at South Shore Infant Aquatics enough! If you’re looking for a swim instructor who is kind, calm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about teaching swim survival skills, she is amazing. My 19-month-old daughter was in the thick of stranger anxiety when we started, and I honestly wondered how she would learn if she cried through every lesson. Candice met her hesitation with so much patience and reassurance, and watching her progress was incredible. In just four weeks, my daughter was swimming, rolling onto her back to float and catch her breath, then swimming again to reach the side or steps. She even passed her float test wearing heavy winter clothes! As a mom, seeing my little girl gain these potentially lifesaving skills means more than I can put into words. We always supervise her closely around water, but knowing she has these skills gives me so much more peace of mind. Thank you, Candice, for your patience, dedication, and the care you put into teaching my daughter. We are so grateful for you! 💙

Candice is truly a fantastic swim teacher, and we couldn’t recommend her enough!Both of my boys absolutely loved going to swim class with her. They were at completely different levels and had very different fears and comfort levels in the water, but Candice was patient, encouraging, and able to meet each of them exactly where they were.Over the course of their lessons, I watched their confidence grow so much. They didn’t just learn how to swim—they learned important water safety and survival skills, how to float and stay calm in the water, and ultimately how to swim with confidence and independence.I could genuinely see their progress from one class to the next. Candice has such a wonderful way of making kids feel safe while encouraging them to challenge themselves and believe in what they can do.As a mom, having my boys feel confident and safe in the water means so much to me, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything she taught them. I always recommend Candice to my friends and family with children learning to swim. She is truly wonderful!

Candice at South Shore Infant Aquatics has been amazing! My daughter went from being scared to even put her face in the water to now diving down to grab sinkies like it's nothing. The transformation has been incredible to watch. She absolutely loves having Ms. Candice as her teacher and gets so excited for class every time. Candice is patient, encouraging, and clearly knows how to make kids feel safe while still pushing them to grow. Can't recommend her enough — 5 stars all the way!

I can not say enough good things about Candice! Her patience is exactly what my toddlers needed. Her consistency and methods had my kids succeeding in her program much faster than they had at any other swim program they had been in. I highly recommend and wish we had done it sooner!

I highly recommend Candice and South Shore Infant Aquatics! She’s incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging with my three-year-old grandson. Deen is always excited for his next lesson, and it’s been amazing to see his confidence grow in the water. We’re so grateful for her dedication and gentle approach!

Highly recommend SSIA to any parent looking to teach their child how to swim. Candice is extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind, communicative, dedicated and just overall a joy to be around. She really cares about each child and pays attention to each kids individual needs and tailors her lessons accordingly so that they feel the most comfortable and learn the most in each lesson. She is very focused on safety and the kids really learning the skills and as a mom I was so relieved when I saw how much she cared and really wanted my boys to learn. She’s not pushy or harsh, she is so patient and kind with kids. She is passionate and sweet. She keeps a very clean environment and I just couldn’t recommend her enough! Water is a terrifying thing with kids and she made the process so easy that it eased my anxiety as a mom which is not an easy thing to do! Absolutely the best swim teacher and will continue to go back for progressive lessons and take all future children to her as well. Highly highly recommend!

Candice is a fantastic teacher, highly recommend using her for swim classes with your children. She is caring, dedicated, passionate, communicative, knowledgeable, and just overall kind and a joy to be around. She spent time building trust with my sons and really truly cared about their success and confidence in the water. She has safety in the forefront of her mind and wants every child to have fun and be safe in the water. She keeps a clean pool, clean environment and is welcoming and always has a smile on her face. She is very knowledgeable and always had great advice for us as parents and how we could help our kids be successful. I highly recommend her services and will continue to use her for my sons and future children.

My daughter has learned so much and it has built her confidence in the water and she’s not even 2 yet. Highly recommend as it has eased my anxiety around my daughter being in/near the water.

2026-06-03T12:29:14.000Z

Candice is amazing! She is calm, sweet, and knowledgeable with the best intention of teaching our kids to save themselves and having some fun through the learning process! 💯 recommend!

We have had my just turned 2yo in swim with SSIA for the past 8 weeks. He’s progressed so well, from not kicking at all to swimming and floating like a champ. Mrs Candace has a way of making it fun. It’s hard work but she was very kind and patient, and my son actually started asking for swimming lessons and her on days we wouldn’t be scheduled. My in-laws who have a pool keep him during the week. I confidently feel like if the worst happened and he was able to get outside and in the pool he would survive and that’s worth every penny. It also seems like it’s been a great way to boost intelligence through routine physical activity. Edited to say after the initial course in April 25 we did the maintenance lessons in October 25 and the following April the four week refresher and now as we are approaching summer 26 my almost 3 year old is swimming from one side of the pool to the other multiple times. He asks to go to swim daily. We love South Shore Infant Aquatics and Mrs Candace!

Our experience here has been nothing short of phenomenal. My son started lessons a couple of months before he turned 2. I was nervous because I wasn't sure how he would do. Mrs. Candice set clear expectations for us and reassured us that he would be fine. And he was totally more than just fine! She is very in tune with each child and gives them the attention and support they need to get comfortable in the water. My son now tries to hangout after his lesson is over because he enjoys it so much! We feel so grateful that he is equipped with the skills he needs to be safe in the water. While it is obviously important for children to always be supervised when in a pool, knowing that they have mastered the skills to be comfortable in the water gives us a huge sense of relief. We have continued with refresher lessons and are now in progression lessons to continue building on his skills. Candice is the BEST!

My toddler can now float to save her own life, and South Shore Infant Aquatics taught her how. Our 2 year old loved to play in the water, but didn’t have the necessary survival skills. Even though she was sometimes afraid of learning a new task in the pool, Candice was always patient with her. I highly recommend South Shore Infant Aquatics, and we will return for refresher courses in the future.

I highly recommend this program for teaching your little one essential survival skills. My child started as a 5 y/o with no swim skills despite being in commercial lessons before. This program exceeded my expectations . The instructor is incredible. Gentle but firm. We have a busy work schedule as my husband and I are both shift workers. I was worried about the commitment but it was worth it . By the end of the program I felt so much better about my child being in/ around water. We had a very positive experience all around.

We’re in week 3 of swim lessons at South Shore Infants, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. My son Andrés has Miss Candice as his instructor, and she is so kind, gentle, and playful with him. I love that she never forces him to swim when he’s not in the mood, but instead teaches through play, which has helped him build more confidence in the water. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. I also love that the lessons are one-on-one 🙏🏻it makes the experience so much more personal for Andrés 🙏🏻🩵I truly believe every child should learn how to swim. it’s such an important life skill that can save lives. I’m so grateful we found South Shore Infants, because I know my little one is in the best hands. There’s no better feeling than trusting such a precious treasure to caring, patient instructor who make the experience both safe and fun.

We highly recommend South Shore Infant Aquatics! Candice was nothing short of amazing and helpful teaching my kiddos great skills all while giving me a peace of mind that they were safe in the pool. My kids, ages 5, 7, and 10, all varied in skill and confidence levels when it came to swimming before SSIA. Within the first few days my kids had become better, stronger, independent, and more excited about swimming, floating, diving and so much more. They (and me!) had a huge shift from nervous and worried about their safety and ability to get out of the pool by themselves, should an incident occur, to wanting to show us the many ways they could get themselves out and to safety. And on top of that they learned so many new skill sets like diving, new strokes and so much more. Now we can’t get them out of the pool because they’ve become fish ha! We’re grateful for all the love and passion Candice put into making swim lessons fun, engaging and a success. Thank you!

Candice is an AMAZING instructor! I was so impressed at how much my two-year-old learned and how FAST he caught on. She worked with us to make sure we were also comfortable with everything. This style of teaching is so worth it and my child now LOVES to swim and (most importantly) has the skills now to save himself.

Can’t recommend her enough!! My 1 1/2 year old was swimming and floating on her back by the end. She has lots of patience and my girl responded so well to her.

Candice has been so helpful in teaching our 7 month baby survival skills in the water, helping us feel comfortable with her being around the water, and helping get her acclimated to being in the water. Living in Texas during summer, and always being around water, I knew we’d need to do some survival skills lessons, and this has been exactly what we needed. Grateful for her calm, patient and encouraging help!
