My husband and I have always felt strongly about teaching our children to swim. We originally took our first born to our local community center and assumed he would learn survival skills as well as how to swim. We quickly realized the classes were too big and the instructors were not necessarily experienced with teaching young children. One of our friends recommended Sarah’s School of Fish and we have been “hooked” ever since! Our son took his first lesson at SSF at age three. To our amazement, he was swimming and had passed his swim safety test (fully clothed/ shoes on) within a month! He took lessons about twice a week for the first month and then tapered down to once a week. He is now 6 and has continued to take more advanced, “refresher” lessons periodically to help his swimming strength and technique. This past summer was his first season on a swim team. He had such a great time and was completely prepared---he even came in 1st for his backstroke! \r
With the success we experienced with our son, we started our daughter at SSF when she was about 18 months old. To say she was a “tough case” would be an understatement! With amazing patience and diligence, the teachers at SSF have helped her develop into a very strong and confident swimmer. She just turned 4 and she is already beginning to work on her breaststroke and is so excited to join her brother’s swim team next summer! Her eyes always light up when she hears she gets to have a swim lesson with Mr. Mike! Her older brother actually gets a little jealous when she gets to have a lesson and he doesn’t! We will soon enroll our baby in lessons at SSF as well!\r
Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah’s School of Fish to anyone interested in having their children learn to swim. The instructors are so warm and caring and the private, one on one lessons have given our children the individual attention they have needed to become strong, safe and confident swimmers. \r
