I also wanted her to love the water and be safe around it. When she was 18 months old, she started the program at Aquachild. And so, I completed over 200 hours of hands on training with Brian and Scotty, beginning of 2012. Since then I've been working at Aquachild. And knowing that I'm making a difference with something I'm so passionate about is really fulfilling! My first experience at Aquachild was when I was invited to attend my nephews initial program graduation. I remember sitting there watching and tears falling down my face uncontrollably as I watched him nail everything at only 11 months old. I was blown away!! My passion has always been teaching young children dance since I was 15 years old. When I saw this swim float swim method I was determined to learn and get certified. I completed 250 Hours at AquaChild in May 2015 and was offered a position and have been working with the AquaChild team ever since. Thanks to this opportunity I feel privileged in making a difference in these children’s lives while teaching them the skills to become self-reliant. Stroke & Maintenance instructor at Aquachild.

However, we offer a unique and comprehensive survival-swimming program that helps add an additional layer of protection for your child in the event of an accident. These lessons are just the beginning to a lifetime of safety and fun in the water. Practice is essential to a child's skill retention and progression.There is no such thing as being  On August 23, 2007, after returning home from a beautiful family trip to Disney, our then four year old daughter had a near drowning accident in our backyard pool. We have a pool fence and there were many adults around in the yard. She was in the middle of learning how to swim with just the ordinary swim lessons that summer. We Are Extremely thankful and lucky to still have her in our life, however she did suffer a severe amount of brain damage and still remains in a coma with us at home. People take it for granted and think that this could never happen to my child. We thought the same. Most people will think, OH, if my child will fall in, I will hear it. Well, we can say drowning is what they call a "silent killer". Nobody heard my daughter when her accident happened. Statistically most drownings will occur between one year to five years of age. Two years went by and we received a flier from our older children's school about a swim program called "Aqua Child". We enrolled our then two year old daughter in the program. A few weeks later we were so impressed with the swimming and survival skills she learned. Brian, we can't thank you enough for doing such a wonderful job teaching our daughter to swim and survive in the water. It made a whole world of a difference and gave us peace of mind knowing that she didn't just have the swimming skills but survival as well. Today she is four years old and swims like a fish. Scotty, we couldn't wait to enroll our youngest daughter who is now ten months old in your program. She is on her fifth week and we can't believe she knows how to swim before walking. Thank you Scotty for teaching her the swimming and survival skills that is so very important to know. Thank you for having the patience to teach such a young child. We are looking forward to seeing her graduate soon. Brian and Scotty are amazing swim instructors. Their knowledge and patience is incredible. If anyone wonders is this the right way to teach my child how to swim, Well we have to strongly say stop wondering and sign up today. This is the best and we think only way people should teach their children how to swim. It can really help to save lives. As a matter of fact we have a friend that came here with her kids to teach them to swim. She had an encounter with one of them and the skills they learned here help to save their life. The kid fell into a pool and was found lying floating on their back waiting for help to arrive. Thanks again Brain and Scotty for teaching our children the skills they know and for making their learning experience a whole lot of fun. My 2 1/2 year old just finished a 3-week series of swimming lessons at Aquachild. Her first week was tear-filled, her second week was dry-eyed but still with calls of, "Mommy," and her third week was full of smiles. A full series of lessons is usually 6 weeks, but we came in from out of town specifically to take lessons there because we saw what they accomplished with my niece when she was 2. After just 3 weeks, my daughter could propel herself to the stairs/edge/other destination by kicking, she could easily float on her back and, most importantly, she could get to a float on her own. Half-way through the third week, Brian through her in the water with no warning (exactly how it would be if she were to fall in by accident) and she calmly got herself to a float. They also bring the parents into the ...
