I know I've talked on here before about swim lessons with Mr. Brendan and I wanted to shoot some video so you could see first hand just how much our child has improved with swimming. When we came to Mr. Brendan, we had paid for 8 months of swim lessons with Centennial Sports Plex and our child was terrified of the water. She refused to let go of us in the pool and we felt like if she fell into a pool or another body of water, she would definitely drown. So, we started lessons with Mr. Brendan and the results are amazing. She had one week of lessons (which consists of 5 consecutive days for one hour each day) last Summer and then she had six winter maintenance sessions (which consisted of six one hour lessons....three in October, one in November and two in March). She has also had three weeks of swim lessons this Summer, which included two in June and one in August this past week. You can check out the results for yourself....they are simply amazing!

Zoe Patiently Waiting for Her Turn
There is no greater lesson in swimming than being able to roll over to your back and save your life should you fall into a body of water. Check out Zoe rolling to her back when she jumps in:
Zoe doing her back stroke across the pool.
Zoe going off the slide and swimming across the pool. Not too shabby for a child who was so fearful of the water that she refused to turn loose of Mark or I while in the pool!
I have to brag on Mr. Brendan for a minute. This man, his family and his team of coaches are simply amazing. He has made it his mission in life to teach children to be able to save themselves in a swimming pool and you can't put a price on that. He is so passionate and it literally kills a piece of his soul whenever he hears that a child (or an adult for that matter) has drowned. We owe a lot to Mr.Brendan and we will continue to pay whatever amount is necessary as he helps our daughter continue to learn to swim! Thank you Mr. Brendan! We love you and think you're the greatest!
