Hi!
I just want to let you know how impressed I am with Lyly’s method of teaching. She had my son (a four year old, who started off pretty fearful of the water) swimming after just four short lessons! She made my son comfortable with the water. Her encouraging method helped so much that he was willing to jump and put his face all the way in the water and swim a short distance. Her easy approach builds on the kid’s confidence and challenges him to do more. He’s about two months into lessons with her, and he swims the whole length of the pool all by himself. He’s got water safety down pat and is ready for the summer.
Thanks Lyly!
