Knowing that mom and dad couldn’t always be there to watch, Devon sent several awesome pictures and videos for us to enjoy. Within four weeks of lessons, I was amazed to see the changes in Olivia. Our friends and family members were shocked to see that after just two weeks, she was able to do a flip and return immediately to a floating position with no hesitation. My niece is now in the program. Olivia cried so hard the first week that it terrified me, I almost regretted the decision to take her to lessons every day. I was a nervous wreck watching her, but I’d do it over and over again. Each week she grew more comfortable with the water and her instructor and certainly looked forward to receiving her sticker when she was finished. The routine they encourage was exactly what my daughter needed. By the third week, she seemed very eager to get into the pool and was finally smiling and having fun. When mommy and daddy got in the pool with her, wow! That was exciting for all of Preparing
