At Little Shark Survival Swim School, we're guided by a passionate belief: every child deserves the ability to confidently navigate water and embrace a life-saving skill. Founded by Angela Tirpak, a seasoned aquatic educator with a lifelong commitment to water safety, our school stands as a beacon of trust, expertise, and personalized instruction. 

​

Angela is from Erie, PA where her upbringing was immersed in water sports, fostering a lifelong affinity for aquatic activities. She attended Edinboro University and studied Early Childhood Education. In 2005, she moved to Riverview to raise her children in the endless sunshine and outdoor lifestyle Florida offers. Angela devoted herself wholeheartedly to nurturing her two children, guiding them into remarkable adulthood.  Driven by a fusion of her passion for education and her profound love for swimming, Angela embarked on a new path, dedicating herself to imparting survival swim skills.

 

Located in Riverview, as well as servicing surrounding areas, our swim program provide parents a piece of mind while building confidence and independence for their children in the water and out. Using PediaSwim instruction, we offer the gentlest, most effective lessons available teaching infants/children to swim and float independently for fun and safety. Our goal is for children to be safe, have fun, and excel in the water!
