Lessons Info
Learning to swim can be a frightening experience, but it is a critical skill that everyone must have. The team at Mabry Swimming Lessons help students learn to swim through firm instruction, motivation, and lots of laughing. Over the course of a week, sometimes two, we help students overcome their fear and develop an appreciation for the water and the sport of swimming. We strive to develop students swimming skill, as well as the confidence to use that skill. Ages 18 months and up are accepted. All skill levels are accepted, from not knowing how to swim at all to perfecting strokes and diving in preparation for swim team.
We now offer private lessons for 30 minutes a day Monday through Friday (Memorial Day week will be Tuesday through Saturday). We will be offering one-on-one instruction at your pool. All you need to do is provide the pool, pick a time slot in the registration form, and we will come to you to provide private swimming lessons. At this time, we are no longer offering group classes at a private location with multiple instructors like we have done in the past. We look forward to working with you and your child!
Private lessons are $300 per child per week. All payments must be either via cash or check and are due before lessons can begin. Checks are due by May 1, 2025 via mail. More information regarding check payments can be found in the online registration form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we no longer offer group lessons?
Most of our instructors are no longer available for 6 weeks of Mabry Swim, so we have decided to downsize. Our owner, Maddie, is an incoming senior at Mississippi State and no longer has the time to run a full scale swim school anymore! It has been a good run and we are excited for this new chapter of small scale privates.
Why did the price increase?
As you know, things have gotten much more expensive, and running this business is included in that! Since we are coming to you and instructors will be driving all over town throughout the summer, the rise in price is to compensate for the extra spending in gas! We try to make it as fair as we can for our customers and employees.
How old must my child be to register for lessons?
Your child must be at least 18 months or older (by the time lessons begin) in order to register for lessons.
Will class be canceled if it rains?
No. We will meet in our regularly scheduled classes unless you are contacted. We will reschedule classes in the event of heavy rain or lightning.
How do I register multiple children for lessons?
You will need to complete a registration form and pay for each individual child.
If you are planning to register multiple children for private lessons, you will need to register your other children for an adjacent time slot to the first one or at another time/week. Each lesson is 30 minutes long with each child and we are only able to work with one child at a time.
How do I register my child for multiple weeks?
You’ll need to go through the registration process again for each time slot you are wanting to sign up for.
When is payment due?
Payment is due immediately before lessons can begin. We are only accepting cash or checks at this time.
Check Payment Policy: If you are paying with a check, payment is due via mail by May 1, 2025. Checks are to be made out to “Madelyn Mabry” and mailed to 36 Fisher Pt, Lumberton, MS 39455. Once you have placed the check in the mail, please text Maddie at 601-549-2115 and inform her that your check is on its way.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We are only accepting cash or checks at this time.
How do I cancel my registration?
If you are looking to cancel your registration, send us an email at marymabryswim@gmail.com and we will cancel your registration.
If I cancel my registration, can I get a refund?
If your child becomes sick and you have provided a doctor’s note or you have a family emergency and we are unable to reschedule for a future week, partial refunds will be granted. For all other cases, refunds will not be granted.
How do I switch my child to a different time slot?
Once you have picked the new time slot, send us an email at marymabryswim@gmail.com and we will cancel your previous registration. Be sure to include which time slot that you are needing to be canceled in the email so that we don’t accidentally cancel the wrong class. We will switch you to the appropriate time slot, if it is available.
Meet Our Owner
“Hey y’all, I am Maddie Mabry and I have been working with Mabry Swim Lessons since I was old enough to swim myself! Not many people know this, but our business was founded nearly 70 years ago by my great grandmother in Metairie, Louisiana. Since then, the gift of teaching children to swim trickled down to my mother and aunts, my sisters and brothers, and now myself! We have significantly expanded in the last few years becoming one of the most widely known swim lessons businesses in the Pine Belt. All my instructors and myself carry a passion for delivering such a vital skill to all ages in the community. We are excited for another summer under the sun and cannot wait to meet you and your kiddos!”

What Parents Are Saying
Casey & Brett Wilberding
I cannot say enough about Maddie and the crew at Mabry Swim. All 3 of my boys have been and we are so thankful. It is so important for our kids to know how to swim, as they are around the pool all summer long. The team is kind, patient and knowledgeable. It isn’t always easy to watch your kids learn how to do something, but this team makes it as easy as possible. My soon to be 3 year old will be back this summer for a refresher and we can’t wait to see Maddie and her crew!

Mabry Swim taught my oldest son to swim in two weeks. It may seem intense, but it absolutely gets the job done. On day one, he could barely blow bubbles or kick, and by the end of the two weeks he could jump off the board and swim to the ladder with a smile on his face. We did lessons for three years, and each year they learned more and more. Mabry Swim made him a confident swimmer and I am forever grateful! Sending a huge thank you to their fabulous instructors!
Kelsey Hester
The experience at Mabry Swim was incredible for Hayden! She has always loved the water, but was terrified to go beyond the shallow. By the end of the week, she was a deep end diva! It was worth every penny for me to have a peace of mind all summer! We’ll be returning this year for a refresher course and she can hardly wait!!
Katelyn Freeman
Water safety has always been one of my top priorities with my children. We started my son in 2020 at 3 1/2 years old. I was very nervous because he is globally delayed. I was worried first about just his muscle strength and being able to swim, period, but also, as a mom, I was worried if anyone would have enough patience to work with him. One of the head instructors, Maggie, is an absolute angel and put all my worries to rest. Her nurturing ways made her the perfect person for my son that year. 2021 rolled around and I signed my son up again, but this time I had a little sister there with me and we surprisingly got her in the pool that week too. I was worried she would be too young but it was perfect! By this year I was confident my son would be able to get to the side of the pool for safety if needed. Fast forward to 2023, by this time I needed someone with patience but wasn’t going to baby my son either. Sometimes he needs a little tough love and motivation. Maddie was phenomenal for that position but still had the patience of a saint. By the end of that summer, my son was diving and retrieving items from the bottom of the pool and my daughter could safely get to the side of the pool. This summer, my baby boy will be 18 months and there is no doubt in my mind where we will be attending this summer. I can’t sing enough praises about Mabry Swim.
