History
Little Flippers Swim Academy originally began in West Jordan opening in June of 2008. After 7 amazing seasons, we relocated to Lehi, Utah in August of 2015 and opened for swimming lessons in June, 2016 under the name: Life Skills Academy, LLC, dba Little Flippers Swim Academy.
We are a small, personalized business with classes taught by Kylee, Lexi, McKenzi and Trent Hunt. All Instructors are American Red-Cross Water Safety Instructor Certified. Our out-door pool is an in-ground fiberglass pool with salt-water chlorination system. This system is much easier on eyes and hair than chlorination systems found in most commercial pools.
Our pool is enclosed which allows us to be a little more protected on bad weather days.
Trent is a Red-Cross Water Safety Instructor. His love of the water and teaching began years ago in Lawton, Oklahoma when he managed a summer camp for kids and taught swim lessons. He loves being able to teach kids how to be safe in the water. Trent has a B.S. Degree in Industrial and Mechanical Engineering and works as a Sales Engineer by day. Trent has also taught an evening class at BYU in Engineering/Construction Trades.
Valerie has formerly worked as an Executive Secretary, has graduated from the University of Utah with a Master's Degree in Speech/Language Pathology and worked for Jordan District and Primary Children's Outpatient Rehab for a combined total of 10 years. She enjoys being Trent's Business Manager and partner. Valerie provides Speech/Language therapy through Life Skills Academy, LLC.
Our daughters have all completed level VI and assist us in the pool during their growing up years.
