Our Testimonials
“From the very first lesson, my son, who minutes before was petrified of putting his head in the water, was sticking his face in the water. He made giant leaps of improvement at each lesson. In three lessons he was completely swimming under water! The gentleness and method of this program absolutely has saved our summer and probably saved our son as well. I could not be more thrilled and impressed with the calming manner and ways that Elaine was able to help my child be brave, over come his fear, and be safe in the water. Now he finally gets to be a kid and enjoy it so much. Thewater is now his favorite place to be, And that is all because of Elaine and Swim Angelfish.”
