“My oldest son was hesitant to go underwater, and with the teaching of coach Michael, he gained the skills to go underwater. Now, he is water-safe, diving, pushing off the side, and working on his freestyle strokes.”

“Our daughter was scared to put her face in the water and take her floaties off prior to taking swim lessons. On day 2 with Coach Rachel, she already trusted her enough to practice blowing bubbles and putting her face in the water.”
