Do You have the Thunderstorm Blues? Swim Lessons, Swim Safety, & Customer Service

One of the most frustrating things for parents, swim teachers, and
swim school owners to deal during Summer Swim Lessons is
thunderstorms. Parents get mad when we cancel, parents get mad when we

A Different Approach to Teaching Kids How to Swim

Two brothers, Luis and Juan, called us and said, "We'd love to learn to swim! Our mentor will send you a check." Luis and Juan are ages 16 and 10.

These two boys are first generation Americans. Their parents can't afford lessons for their kids. But Luis met Jim at his gym and asked if Jim could help him put together a fitness program for himself. The two got to talking. They became friends this past winter.

Jim noticed Juan outside the gym playing in the parking lot waiting f… Continue
