TESTIMONIALS

This was the best swim class my kids have ever taken.  My  then 5 year old was deathly afraid to put her head under the water.  I will tell you that after the first lesson, it was rough. She kicked and screamed the whole time.  The second day, was no better. It was a bear trying to get her to class. But after finishing the second class, she looked at me and said, "Mom, that really isn't that bad."  From then on, she has enjoyed swimming.  Mickey and Brooke were awesome in the way they handled the kids. My four year old took classes from Mickey last summer, and let me tell you, she didn't forget any of it.  She loves to swim and is a fish this year.  I can't believe how well she learned to swim at 3, all thanks to Mickey and Brooke.  I highly recommend the class to anyone.  They are great with the kids and really know what they are doing.  Thanks so much for getting my kids over their fears and teaching them how to survive if they fall in the pool.  Your classes rock!!!  Thanks, Tricia

I really feel like Mickey and Brooke have given our family a precious gift in teaching Elkan the survival swim techniques.  This is our second summer of lessons, starting off at age two, last summer.  This year at age three, Elkan is swimming!  What a blessing!  We're all enjoying the water so much more.
 
We're constantly having people at the water park say how amazed they are that Elkan is swimming!  He's got such a confidence and yet he seems to understands there's still some limits.  He won't get to far out, but springs into action when he hits that boundary he's set in his mind, getting to the safety of the side.  He LOVES jumping, twisting and even diving off the 3' diving board at the water park.  I won't let him go off the high dive yet, although he felt he was ready to tackle it.  Three is still a little young, at least for this mommy's comfort zone.
 
I also really appreciated how the Kindred family incorporated all my other children while Elkan was getting his lessons.  They were always quick to offer swimming and diving tips, as well as just having lots of fun pool play while Elkan was in his lesson.  Everyone looked forward to swim time, well Elkan didn't at first, but now he love swimming!  He's got a gift for life...the ability to get out of a pool in a crises situation and to swim in it safely for a summer's worth of fun.
 
Thank you for pouring yourselves into Elkan and the rest of the family in such a loving and caring way.  We are all so thankful!
 
Blessings,

Mickey,

When we brought Ashleigh to you last summer I wasn't sure what to expect.  My daughter is a very strong willed child and I was afraid of what may happen.  But you and your assistants were awesome!  You encouraged Ashleigh, "made" her do things beyond her comfort zone (in a very Christ-like, loving manner), and helped her self-confidence.  Thank you for that.  Now, we have a "fish" who loves to swim.  But more importantly, I know that she has the skills to save herself, stay calm, and do what she needs to do in case of a fall or accident in the pool.  Of course, this doesn't preclude my responsibility to watch her around water, but it is an invaluable insurance policy.  And for that I will be grateful for as long as I live!

Have a blessed day!

My 2 sons took swim lessons from teacher Mickey a year ago and I am so glad they did.  My 5 yr. old had some experience in the water with floaties and I felt he needed more of a push to help him with his confidence. My 2 yr. old didn't have any experience and after watching teacher Mickey's website I wanted him to learn survival skills.  

At first I didn't know what to expect and I was a little apprehensive, but once you see teacher Mickey with the children, you know your child is in good hands.  He knows your child's potential and knows how to help them achieve the "goal".  My children were afraid at first which made me afraid for them, especially my 2 yr. old, but when I saw him in the water holding his breath and kicking his feet I was in awe of his accomplishment when he reached the side of the pool.  Teacher Mickey put my children at ease which in turn put me at ease and he showed incredible tolerance and patience. I would definitely recommend anyone with small children to take these lessons.  It was truly amazing to see them use the skills they had learned. 

My children had so much more confidence in the water after the lessons and I felt safer when they were around the water.
