Comments from Students and parents that have their children in our Superior Swim Lessons.
"It is a rare teacher that can be as equally effective with two-year olds as well as 73 year olds. Miss Deane is one of those people! It was my good fortune to take a swimming lesson from her. She immediately spotted some things I could do to improve my performance in the pool - or the ocean- after reinforcing what I was doing correctly. Even though I have been swimming for about 65 years, I believe there is always room for improvement.
Miss Deane is positive, fun and firm. The combination is perfect. I have often watched her teaching very young children and see those qualities on display each time. As a retired teach (English, not swimming!) I can recognize good teaching and the qualities one needs to use for the best results. Her teaching allows her students to know how to become their best!
It is a pleasure to recommend Miss Deane without reservation!

"My daughter, Bella is 4 and a half years old, we have been to SEVERAL different locations for "swimming lessons" however never has she learned any swimming techniques! I was so tired of paying people to "play" with toys with my daughter instead of teaching her basic water survival at minimum.
Then I found Miss Deane at Superior Athletic Club. She should be the ONLY swimming teacher in Rogue Valley - why? Because Miss Deane teaches children to SWIM!!!!!
Bella has gone for nearly a full month of twice a week group lessons and one private lesson and as of today, 26th day of March, Bella has gained so much confidence, she would never ever jump into the pool, or "Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall" and then fall into the water, TODAY she did so many Humpty Dumptys that I lost count! And for the first time, she jumped into the pool! I was so thrilled that she is finally jumping in without fear. Mis Deane has instilled a "trust" for Bella and Bella knows it, and she continues to do "Turtle Arms" and "Flap Flap Kick Kick" even at home after her baths. She remembers and she talks about swimming with Miss Deane every day!
Miss Deane, you are a sweetheart for having the patients and skills to teach my Bella to swim and I can not thank you enough.
A month ago when we came into the pool for the first time, Bella was not having any part of falling into and definitely not jumping into the pool! There was not much cooperation on Bella's part in the pool. I am so thrilled with her progress and your work with her, that I think we'll just keep doing lessons until she is ready for the Olympics!
You will forever have my heartfelt thanks for working with Bella - as you are the one person who is "teaching her to swim".
Sincerely,
Sandy Cathey"
