What if swim lessons could be fun, safe, and welcoming for every age and stage? This week on What’s Up Waco, I chatted with Ashley Major, Director of Operations for SafeSplash Swim School, about how they’re helping families build confident, capable swimmers. SafeSplash is already making waves in Temple and is bringing that same energy to Woodway with a brand-new location opening in November 2025. What I love most is that they start as young as four months, teaching littles not just to float but to actually get to the edge of a pool or body of water—giving them real, practical safety skills. They also provide space for competitive swimmers to grow and for adults to finally learn in a comfortable, non-judgmental environment. In this episode, we talk about why water safety is more than floating, how lessons build confidence from babies through adulthood, why adults love the program, and what families can expect at the new Woodway location. If you’re a parent who wants your kids to develop lifelong water safety skills, an adult ready to feel confident in the water, or just curious about what SafeSplash brings to Central Texas, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Water safety is about more than floating—kids learn to reach the edge and stay safe in real situations


• Lessons start as early as 4 months and go through adult programs


• Competitive swimmers get the training and confidence they need to grow


• Adults have a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental space to learn and improve
