About Us

My name is Pat Sullivan and I have been in the Lubbock area since 1975 when I moved here to attend Texas Tech. My wife, Sherry, and I have lived in Ransom Canyon for over 25 years.

 

I was a life guard, a competitive swimmer in High School, and am a certified scuba diver. My love for the water lead me to build a pool in our yard which has proven to be a great family gathering place which we enjoy with our eight grandchildren. My youngest granddaughter took an Infant Aquatics course and is now an avid, capable, and confident swimmer.  She was my inspiration to become an instructor in Infant Aquatics.

​

I am certified in CPR for adults ,children and infants. I completed a six-week certification for Infant Aquatics with Kim Emery as my instructor in Decatur, Texas. I participated in over 100 hours of in-water training including studies in Child Development, Behaviorism, Psychology, and Anatomy and Physiology.  I am the instructor and Sherry is our business manager.

​

Our children are constantly around pools and lakes which makes water safety of the utmost importance for our families. Children must learn water survival skills to keep them safe and allow families to enjoy water activities around any water conditions. We started Little Flippers Infant Aquatics and Swim as a way to share our love of water, connect with our community, and give children water safety skills for life and parents peace of mind.  We look forward to teaching your children!
