Dear Judy,

I thought that it would never be possible for me to feel comfortable having so many children around water. When my older kids were younger, going to the pool was a real challenge. Having more than one young child in the pool at once was stressful to say the least. Always having to hold one, we never really got to play and enjoy ourselves.

In contrast, after learning to swim-float-swim even having two toddlers in the pool is fun now. I know that they are safe and having a great time. They jump in and play. They feel safe and comfortable in the water so much so that I can relax and let them play. I don’t feel like I need to be holding them so a whole new realm of fun is open to us. They actually get to explore the water and all it’s properties.

They know their limits in the water too. They can tell when they can’t stand and know when to float. They don’t accidentally go too far. They simply swim back to the steps. I truly wish, as do my older children, that I had known about you sooner. We would have spent a lot more time at the pool. I will admit that during the individual lessons, my busy schedule felt crunched even more. But before I knew it, my little ones had graduated into group lessons and everyday in the water was fantastic. It is so worth the time and money. We swim almost everyday! I do not hesitate to recommend you to everyone I know who has children.

Thanks for making my summers fun again.
