We had an absolutely amazing experience with Fawn. From the very first lesson, it was obvious how experienced, thoughtful, and intentional she is in her approach. She individualized everything, moving at a pace that made sense for my son (who was about 19 months old when we started) incorporating his interests, and adjusting to the skills that were more difficult for him. She made every step of the process feel fun, positive, and safe. Watching my son develop real swimming skills was an incredible experience. I found what another lesson I brought him to lacked, building true survival skills. I was amazed by what he was capable of and, living near a lake, feel a sense of peace that he has the skills he does. She even invited me into the water multiple times, coaching me until I felt confident and prepared to support him myself. That kind of care and support goes far beyond just teaching swimming. It's empowering as a parent! She also creates such a warm, community feel. Her pool is set up perfectly for Florida heat: plenty of shade, fun toys, colorful handprints and stickers that capture the kids' interest, happy music, and even a shady area for parents to sit. She takes time to check in about how your child is doing that day and even uses video reviews of lessons to plan the next session. You can tell how deeply she cares, not just about safety and skill, but about each child and family. We never once felt rushed. My son LOVED picking something from Ms. Fawn's treasure box on Fridays. Her background in teaching really shows, in and out of the water, and she's also incredibly flexible with scheduling. I can't recommend her enough. She made something that could have felt intimidating into a meaningful and joyful experience. Thank you, Fawn! read more

Water safety is so very important to me. When swimming lessons were starting to open up, I immediately went on a mission to find the right fit for our family. After many websites and recommendations, I found Fawn with Water Wiggles. She was so nice on the phone and answered all of my questions and gave me her background. When we started, my daughter was about 18 months old. She is in that age bracket where she took a little longer to get the hang of swim/float/swim. Fawn was so patient and reassured me that this was normal. Whenever she saw an issue with what my daughter was doing, she adjusted and fixed the issue. She made my daughter's swimming environment welcoming and fun. We have been very happy with Fawn and so thankful for teaching our daughter how to not just float, but to swim as well. We have graduated and still continue to do the practices that she has been taught. Fawn's passion for ISR and helping children is inspiring. She is doing something incredible and we are happy to have been apart of that. Katie C. read more

My kids, ages 2 and 5, are currently in ISR swimming with Mrs. Lantes at Water Wiggles and I couldn't be happier with how it's going so far. The progress they've made in such a short time is truly amazing, and it's been a joy to watch them grow more comfortable in the water with each session. My 5-year-old son had been terrified of swimming for years and I was dreading trying lessons again but now, just a few weeks in, he's transformed into a little fish! He's swimming with a huge smile on his face, and seeing that fear melt away into confidence has been incredibly rewarding. My 2-year-old is also thriving, she is picking up skills and is happy to get into the water! Water safety is so incredibly important and I'm happy to trust my babies with Water Wiggles ! Mrs. Lantes has been fantastic--patient, encouraging, and great with kids--which has made all the difference. We're halfway through the program, and I'm already thrilled with the results. read more

Fawn is an amazing ISR swim instructor, and I would recommend her to everyone. I cannot thank her enough for showing my 16-month-old the skills he needs to survive if he were to fall in the water. The entire course Fawn was so flexible and was able to work around my schedule to make sure my son was able to get all his sessions in. My son in the beginning of ISR training would cry during each session but Fawn was so caring and gentle with him that I was never worried. As the training sessions went on my son stopped crying and soon was laughing, clapping, and even wanted Fawn to give him high fives every time he correctly floated on his back. It was amazing to see the change in my son and watching him enjoy doing something that could potentially save his life. I am so grateful to have met Fawn and I can't wait for my son to continue working with her as he gets older. Thank you again for everything you have done for my family. read more

Ms. Fawn is an absolute legend at Water Wiggles! We are now in our second year with her, and she has truly changed the game for our family. Last year, she took our eldest -- who was genuinely afraid of the pool -- and transformed her into a confident, happy swimmer who could float on her own. This year, we came back for a refresher, and that same little girl is now swimming like a little mermaid. We still can't believe the progress. Ms. Fawn is dedicated, patient, and just exceptional at what she does. She has a gift for connecting with kids and making them feel safe in the water. Our youngest is now completely obsessed with her (honestly, same!). We are so grateful to have found her. If you're looking for a swim teacher who truly goes above and beyond, look no further -- Ms. Fawn is IT! ‍ read more

We recently enrolled our son in an Infant Swimming Resource class with Fawn Lantes, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! Fawn's patience, warmth, and expertise made such a difference--our son felt comfortable and excited to learn from day one. In just a short time, he gained incredible water safety skills, from confidently floating to navigating the water on his own. Watching his progress was truly rewarding and gave us so much peace of mind as parents. Fawn is not only a fantastic instructor but also someone who genuinely cares about each child's success. We are so thankful for her and highly recommend her classes to any parent! read more

We do not have enough great things to say about Ms. Fawn! We tried a class at Goldfish and were not pleased with the "one size fits all" approach to the classes. Our son was not happy with the class and we were worried about taking him somewhere new. Our first class with Ms. Fawn, he talked all day about how much he liked her. Every morning, he woke up excited to go to swim class. She is so patient with the kids and really tailors her lessons to each child. Her experience and care for the kids is so apparent. We will be starting our youngest with Ms. Fawn next year and cannot recommend her enough. read more
