My 1 & 3 year olds took lessons this summer from Josiah M. He was great - and my son can swim now! It's amazing to see how he can kick and hold his breath and swim to the wall. He can even jump in the pool from the diving board and swim to the stairs! Josiah was so patient with both kids - and they can both be a little difficult. He also was incredibly flexible and stress-free about scheduling. Great experience overall and well worth it!
