Our 4 year old and 18-month old were in lessons this summer with Coach Heather and we couldn't be happier with both their progress! Especially for our 4 year old - last summer we tried a different lesson program and it was a total bust (lots of tears, frustration from both my kid and the college aged instructor who clearly had not worked with toddlers before). So this year we enrolled in Swim Lessons with Coach Heather. She did a phenomenal job of wrangling all three boys in his class, keeping them motivated and offering frequent praise and encouragement. She gained the trust of my shy and sometimes stubborn 4-year old within 2 lessons, and had him comfortably putting his face in the water and swimming confidently within the first month. And this was a kid who always wanted to wear a puddle jumper and hold a pool noodle, usually stayed on the steps in the pool, and NEVER would put his face or head in the water! 8 weeks later, he is comfortably "swimming" around our pool with just a thin layer of floatation. We will definitely be back next summer!
