We teach safety and fun, in that order. We teach back floating as primary. THEN we teach swimming. We have taught over 100 swimmers who ranked in the age group top 10 in America. But your little Olympian must be able to float from any position and as long as needed in any situation before we teach even freestyle. So please be supportive, be patient, and have fun with the process, even when it’s loud and messy :) Steve has taught over 10,000 kids to swim. Yours is the most special!
