Dear Judy,

It has been almost eight months to the day since we started Emma in your program, and I want you to know what a success it has been. Today we were at our neighborhood pool, and while I was chatting with another mom on the pool deck, Emma fell off the step into the pool. I didn’t realize she had fallen in until I heard her scream for me to come get her. There she was floating on her back, amidst a sea of other children. The older kids were watching her and were amazed by her control and focus. They didn’t think she needed help because she didn’t sink, she didn’t panic and she didn’t swallow any water. She knew exactly what she needed to do and she did it. HURRAY!

Following a near drowning experience at the same pool last August (where two year old Emma was rescued from the bottom of the deep end), we made the commitment to your program with the objective of having all of our kids water-safe this summer. It was the best decision ever, and the results are there to prove it! Today’s experience gave me confidence (and Emma too) that she is water-safe, and it is truly a joy and relief to see her swimming and loving it. Thanks to you and Kyla and Moriah for being amazing teachers and for your continued commitment to making our kids water-safe!

If you ever have a parent who is on the fence about committing to your program, please feel free to share Emma’s story with them. I wish I had started her in Infant Aquatics when she was younger and possibly could have avoided the stress and trauma of nearly losing our two year old. She was a tough one to teach and has come a long way. I am so thankful for your program. It is the best!
