Welcome to Watermelon Swim, where the water’s warm, the fun never stops, and every splash counts! From babies as young as a few weeks old to adult swimmers and all ages, we have a splash of fun for everyone.

Don’t just take our word for it, though – see what our Watermelon Swim families say are the top five reasons they love Watermelon Swim classes.

Where safety meets splashes of fun

Our mantra? Safety first, then swim, play, and fall in love with the water forever.

A typical child’s swimming class may involve diving for rings to learn how to hold their breath, age-appropriate, safer ways to jump into the water, and friendly races between students. We mix safety with a tidal wave of fun, ensuring every lesson is a belly-flop-free blast!

Is your child fearful of the water? We meet many nervous children, and we carefully listen to their fears and soothe them. Our instructors understand how to gradually introduce them to the water and pay close attention to ensure they’re comfortable during the class. Your child’s instructor and the Deck Supervisors monitor their progress to ensure they’re both appropriately challenged and having a great time.

I love Watermelon Swim Riverview! My two- and four-year-olds have been in lessons for almost a year and have made great progress! The instructors are extremely thorough and kind. We have loved the instructors we’ve experienced: Lindsey, Kate, and Sophia. The front desk staff is amazing, too! They are so accommodating and helpful with [schedule] changes. I highly recommend Watermelon Swim Riverview!

Rain or shine, it’s swim time!

All four of our locations—South Tampa, Lutz, Riverview, and Wesley Chapel—are sun-safer, rain-proof indoor swim paradises. Our pools are always the perfect temperature for toe-dipping comfort.

Our facilities are exceptionally clean, too. We keep the deck, pool, and changing rooms clean and sanitary and regularly check to maintain our high standards of cleanliness.

We also have plenty of comfortable seating for families to watch their little swimmers, which is ideal if you have to bring a younger or older sibling along.

We have been coming to the Lutz location for 5+ years, and it has been a wonderful experience! Ms. Morgan and Ms. Nicole manage the program so well and the swim instructors do an incredible job with the children. It’s amazing to see how much they learn, especially regarding water safety. 10/10 would recommend!

Team Melon trains to entertain (and educate)!

Our swim instructors are the real MVPs—trained to the gills in safety and fun, they’re here to cheer on every paddle, every lap, and every new swim skill. Team Melon swim instructors undergo extensive training and take several professional education courses annually.

If your child needs extra help, the instructor is right there to guide them. They ensure that children understand the skills and engage with the lesson. We also celebrate each victory, however small.

Your instructor gives you feedback on how your child is doing and lets you know when they’re ready to level up. If your child wants to join a swim team, Team Melon even offers swim team prep lessons to help them reach their goals.

We want to get to know you and make your family a part of the Team Melon family!

We love Watermelon Swim, South Tampa! My daughter has been swimming at this location since last November, and we have loved it from the very beginning. She has already learned so much just within three months. All of the employees are friendly, kind and very helpful. We love Ms. Savannah and have recently also swam with Ms. Julie & Ms. Kara. We love all of the instructors she’s had so far and look forward to her future classes at WS!

Small classes, big splashes!

Small class sizes—our smallest group class consists of just four swimmers—means we can give your child plenty of attention. It also keeps everyone safer, as your instructor can carefully monitor each child.

Parents love the individual attention their child receives, and children enjoy the extra attention (and extra cheers!) that a smaller class provides.

Making waves with accessibility!

Swimmers with disabilities find their flow with us, too. Watermelon Swim is proud to welcome swimmers with disabilities. We offer group lessons for children and adults. Classes are small enough to give each swimmer the extra help or encouragement they need.

We take the time to get to know your swimmer, how they learn best, and any limitations they have. Our instructors are flexible and patient, and our facilities are ideal for swimmers of all abilities.

I highly recommend Watermelon Swim to anyone! My sons are on the Autism Spectrum and have had great instructors to work with. Christian, Olivia, Nick, and Malanie are patient and intentional with them every session. The staff and front desk are always welcoming. We arrive and leave with smiles all around.
