Enrolling your child in swimming lessons is one of the best ways to prevent drowning by teaching them essential water safety skills.

Penny C.
Markham, Illinois 60428
Penny was a wonderful instructor for our son Reed, who started off very fearful of getting his face wet and had never intentionally submerged his head in the water. She was patient but also pushed him to try new things, and he made a ton of progress in our 6 lessons. He is now readily putting his head underwater, floating on his back, and working towards swimming. Penny made the classes fun for Reed, and while he was reluctant to participate at first, he is now sad that they are over. - Brian H.
