About Us

Little Swimmers was founded in 1996 by Gerald Little and Meric Tendrich at our West Kendall location at the Miccosukee Golf & Country Club. Due to their continued success, they have been able to open three more locations over the past 20 years, allowing them to serve the Killian, Homestead, and Pembroke Pines area. Utilizing their many years of experience as swimming instructors and firefighters, Gerald and Meric have successfully developed a water safety program used by the instructors at Little Swimmers, proven to be the most safe and effective method of teaching children and adults to swim.

 

Since its founding, Little Swimmers has had the opportunity to help countless students acquire foundational skills, develop new techniques and confidently move forward in their learning journey. Known as the best Swim School in the South Florida area, we provide a wide range of courses to support students from all backgrounds and levels.
