This swim school is absolutely AMAZING - if you have not heard of it - go to their website, http://www.dolfinswimschool.com/ and take a looky-lu... The classes are held at private pools in the University Park and Preston Hollow neighborhoods - it is a trek for us - but, well worth the drive - and money!!! But, we do live and breathe swim school for those 2 weeks!
One thing that I think is SUPER important for kiddos is to learn to be strong swimmers. This school does that. The teacher/student ratio is great - one of the first things they teach the kids is how to roll over and "rest" if ever in trouble. Also, they will do a drill where the children have to come in long sleeves and long pants and "fall" in the pool. This is to help with the disorientation that can happen when you fall into a body of water when not expecting it - and, having to swim with heavy clothes and shoes on as well.
I can't say enough about this school - Maddie (at age 4) went from being terrified of the water and getting her face wet to diving for a rock at the bottom of the pool in 2 weeks!!!
This summer was Maci's first swim lessons - she did great too!!! At age 2 she is now able to "motorboat" the pool and swim to the bottom to pick up her rock!! The video shows her doing her "kangaroo jumps"...so cute!
