"I am not sure how to start out this letter but I will tell you why I am so passionate about writing it. My reasons are twofold. First, my children learned to swim! Second, I have always believed that people are not recognized enough for the good things that they do. On our first lesson, my children had no idea what to expect. For that matter, neither did I! We had discussed my desire to have the boys at least doggie paddling by the end. That was my goal. That goal was, literally, blown OUT of the water. Let me set the scene a little. BOTH my boys were the type that in the bathtub, I had to cover their eyes and faces when washing their hair. If a DROP of water got on their faces, they would yell 'I NEED A TOWEL!!!' and I would get them one…DUH! They both had 'floaties that we took everywhere. They were a crutch as much to me as to them. I was unable to endure the crying and choking that accompanied trying to teach them to swim myself. I lacked the skill and patience! So, on day one, the boys got their feet wet, figuratively speaking and their heads wet literally. The crying didn't start. Day 2 was ok too…by day 4 and 5, the 30 minutes of my son screaming my name was almost more than I could handle. I just kept cheering for him and telling him he would be ok. Day 6 got better and on day 7 something clicked. Today, my 2 year old son can swim. Not just doggie paddle, he can swim. He had the most amazing 'light bulb' moment yesterday and now will not get out of the pool. He went from screaming like someone was trying to kill him earlier in the week to begging for his turn in the water today. Everyone was amazed with this little guy but none could be more proud and THANKFUL than me. My 4 year old also did amazingly. Though he is not as crazy about putting his head in the water, he will and he can swim from one side of the pool to the other without help. He could NOT do anything like that before. To say that I am satisfied is not enough. To say that I feel it was well worth our time and money is not enough. Even saying that I am ecstatic, amazed, thrilled beyond belief sounds empty compared to what I feel inside. I am so very thankful to your company, but most importantly, to Kristen as she was the hands on here. I have been on the happy verge of tears so many times in the last 2 days. The boys love the water. Noah loves swimming under the water. It used to be that if he got a mouthful of water, that would be IT for the pool time. Now, he just shakes it off and jumps back in. I am truly in awe of what he has been able to accomplish. I want to somehow convey to you how extremely appreciative I am of what you guys did for my children. I have always felt that, in a state like Florida where there is so much water, you do a grave injustice to your children if you DON'T teach them to swim. I will refer whomever I can to your company and especially to Kristen. My whole experience was wonderful!!!" - Jessica |
