TexasTomballCassie GarnerFast Track SwimmingIn addition to our standard swim lessons, for ages 6 months to 4 years we start with survival swimming so the kids can learn to flip on their back and kick to the edge.
TexasTomballYaya (Elizabeth) EddsFast Track SwimmingI have a deep passion for drowning prevention and doing what I can to teach infants to self survive as 1 layer of protection. I teach breath control, floating on back, rolling from belly to back and other progressive skills. Their learning does not stop, as they continue to progress into graduated swim skills. I Teach ages 6 months to 3 year olds. All kids are welcome. The lessons are a fun mixture of play and learning so as to keep their interest and attention. Play is also used as a distraction from parent separation during the early days. We build trust and rapport quickly which calms and enhances our learning environment.
