Here are some more comments from parents that have had their children in the Superior Swim Program:

"Summer of 2013 my kids are 9 and 5. We had never had access to a pool long enough to get swimming lessons until now. We live way out in the middle of nowhere. So for the very first time we were able to get both our kids in for 5 days of swimming lessons. We were very excited when we found Miss Deane and read her reviews. She sounded like a great swimming instructor. Day one:
with both kids afraid of the water. She got them to get in the water within the first minute and they were floating on noodles, the 5 year old both noodle and arm floats. By the end of the first lesson 9 year old was swimming across half the pool with the help of a noodle and blowing short bursts of bubbles. The 5 year old has put the arm floats on the side of the pool and was  comfortable using only the noodle. Day two: Just noodles today they both did great, Miss Deane is amazing. In just two days she transformed 2 kids from being afraid of the water to enjoying it. They are now jumping in the water from the side of the pool. Day three and four: Both kids are swimming short distances with no flotation devises. They are also learning to float on their backs and are more comfortable with putting their faces in the water. My 9 year old started swimming short distances underwater after just 3 lessons. Day five: My 5 year old swam through a hula hoop underwater today.
I am amazed that in just 5 lessons they can go from being afraid of the water to being able to swim underwater. My 9 year old now a few weeks later jumps in the river near our house and swims back to shore. There just aren't enough words to describe how amazing Miss Deane is. She doesn't allow them to say "I can't" she has them say "I'll try." We plan to have our kids take more lessons from her soon. I can't wait and neither can the kids. We love you Miss Deane!!! Thank you!"

More comments from parents that have children in the Superior Swim Lesson Program:

"My four year old has been in swim lessons off and on for about two years and was not even comfortable on a noodle. It seemed like her previous lessons were just play time, or the class was too large and chaotic. By her fourth lesson with Miss Deane she was swimming half the length of the pool all on her own. She was comfortable rolling on her back and swimming unassisted. I was amazed!
Ms Deane is able to judge exactly how hard to push the kids without making them panic. She has the right balance of tough swim time and fun time to keep the kids entertained and challenged. Lastly, I think it is clear that Ms Deane's goal is to make sure kids are safe in the water. That is what I appreciate the most! 5 stars and 2 thumbs up for Ms Deane!!!"

"I am so thankful that I stumbled upon Miss Deane's swim class two months ago. I was googling private swim lessons for my boys and Miss Deane popped up. I read the other testimonials of moms, and they all had similar experiences that I have been going through, trying to find an instructor that would teach my children how to swim.

My boys have to know how to swim, it's not an option, their grandparents have a small lake out their back door, I don't want my boys to be a victim of drowning. And thanks to Miss Deane they won't be!
My oldest boy who is 3 1/2, and who has been in swim class since he was 8 months old!, could not swim at all, also he was terrified of the water if I wasn't in it with him.

Mommy and me classes are nothing but a disservice to you and your child.

After 1 1/2 months of swimming with Miss Deane my 3 1/2 year old is jumping into the water turns onto his back and floats and swim on his back, all by himself!!! He jumps into the water, turns around and swims back to the wall, while putting his face in the water and blowing bubbles!!! All this without any floatation device! He loves swimming, no longer afraid!

My 1 1/2 year old, who also has been in swim class since he was 8 months old, swims the length of the pool with his arm floaters on, Miss Deane has to bring him back to the class, he loves the water! He jumps into the pool turns around and swims back to the wall, puts his face in the water and blows
bubbles while swimming!  

Miss Deane is an amazing swim instructor, she's taught my boys how to swim and to be safe in the water. And she really enjoys the kids and what she's doing with them, my boys are excited about swimming now. The first 3 lessons my boys were screaming because they didn't want to be in the water, I had other members yell at me to get them out of the water, because they were so disruptive, now the 1 1/2 year old is crying when the lesson is over, I have to drag him away from the pool.
My 3 1/2 year old can't wait for the next class!

Thank you Miss Deane!!!

Jeannie, Roman and Mason"

"Before swim lessons with Miss Deane, my two children were afraid of the water and would not go in without a life vest or arm floaters. Neither one would put their heads in the water or liked being splashed in the face. After just one lesson my daughter put her face underwater, blew bubbles and emerged with a huge smile on her face. I was proud and absolutely amazed! The day of their fourth swimming lesson was a Saturday, so I decided after the lesson to take them to a local swimming pool. They both jumped into the pool fearlessly and swam around as though they'd been swimming for years!
My daughter swam around in deep water expertly, while my son swam underwater for long distances with the most perfect form and technique I'd ever seen on a six year old. His turtle arms were magnificent!! I absolutely and without any doubt recommend Miss Deane to all parents with children who are looking for a swim instructor. It's every parent's nightmare to have a child who can not swim, I now breather a great sigh of relief. I can't thank you enough Miss Deane, for what you do for our children.

Most Sincerely,
Vivian Garcia, mother of Sabina 9 yrs. old and Magnus 6 yrs. old"
