My son would not go in the pool or kick with me, just sit on the step or in his car floaty because he was afraid. His first lesson he would cry and the instructor just put water on him and the second lesson he got the courage to get off the steps for a few seconds and now he is kicking, putting his head under water,…

My son would not go in the pool or kick with me, just sit on the step or in his car floaty because he was afraid. His first lesson he would cry and the instructor just put water on him and the second lesson he got the courage to get off the steps for a few seconds and now he is kicking, putting his head under water, and swimming like a fish. I give this swim school a 10 star if I could. They are super and amazing. My son looks forward to swim lessons now and loves to swim and is no longer afraid of the water.

This was our first year trying out swim lessons with Jorden and her team at Tesoro. Londen was our son’s instructor and she was SO kind and patient with him throughout the lessons. We could definitely see him become more confident in the water with each lesson. We highly recommend and look forward to him taking more lessons next year!
