Infant Aquatics at Swim•Float•Swim!

Two of our boys started swim float swim program beggining of the summer. Me and my husband are very well pleased as well as amaze by the result. My 3 year old can now swim float swim in our 5ft pool with confidence instead of clinging to us the whole time we are in it. Our 9 months old who started at 8 months can roll over and float on his back if ever fallen under water. Ms. Darla did a marvelous job being patient and knowledgable to be able to teach this amazing skill to our children. Ms. Judy also has been great to us working on our schedule and communicating what is needed. Great staff, great program, satisfying result.

So, we have two boys who have gone through the Swim-Float-Swim program and we cant say enough about how great it has been for our family. We just returned from a week at a resort where the pool came right up to our room's patio and all the hard work we've done with Swim-Float- Swim over the past few years paid off in our children's confidence and skill in the water and our peace of mind. Ethan is 5 years old and has been in the program since he was nine months old. He is an excellent swimmer for a five year old and has progressed through the program to the stokes class. He is very comfortable in the pool and will spend hours diving to the bottom to retrieve toys, riding the big boy slides, etc. Emerson is 2.5 years old and has been in the program since he was 15 months old. He loves the water and gets excited anytime we mention swimming. He is survival trained and easily rolls over and floats when needed. When we go to the pool he loves to swim to the side, get out, jump back in and swim to us over, and over, and over again. Having a big brother who has gone through the program has made it easier for Emer. Ethan encourages him and Emer wants to do what Ethan does in the pool. The skill and patience of the instructors helped us through the tough times and the results have exceeded our expectations. Anytime we had issues, we talked it over with Judy and she diagnosed the problem and came up with a creative solution to work through it. When Ethan went from lessons with his dad in the pool to group lessons by himself (while changing instructors), he struggled with the new situation and cried. After discussing it with Judy, we put Ethan into private lessons with his new instructor. He regained his confidence, comfort level, relaxed, returned to group lessons, and hasn't looked back. We also put Ethan through snorkeling lesson prior to heading to the beach and he did great out on the ocean, checking out life below the waves. The program makes sense, is effective, and has produced fantastic results for our boys. Because of the results, we've referred several families to Swim-Float-Swim and cant say enough about how pleased we are. We would recommend it to anyone who wants their kids to be strong, confident, and safe swimmers.

Before I put my 8mo old through the infant aquatics program, I had heard and read that the program might be great for some babies but not working for others. I was hoping that my baby would fall into the first category because she liked going into pools so much, but sadly it didn't work out for her. And it backfired. She screamed pretty much the whole time through the 5-week program. I sticked it through as recommended by the instructors, even though it had been very hard for me to watch. After the program ended, she wouldn't go into the water any more even with us. She screamed and panicked. It took a long time for her to get over that fear. Now she is almost three and is happy to play in a pool with us again, but she still wouldn't go near anybody who looks like a swim instructor. In fact, she refuses to go in the water if there's someone who looks like an instructor in the pool. I just want to share my story so you know that the program may work out either way. I don't know what determines the outcome of the program. My baby is very strong willed but she is usually eager to learn new things. She is very healthy in general. I don't know why this program frightened her so much. Perhaps some kids are more intolerant of not being able to breathe under water? In any case, before signing up for this program, make sure that you can accept either outcome. If there're no strong reasons for your baby to learn water survival (e.g. have a pool at home, pond in backyard, etc), I suggest that you think carefully before signing up. Kids will all eventually learn to swim and there's really no need to rush unless there's a very good reason to.
