2012 Spring and Summer months was a huge success and I want to thank all the parents and guardians that brought their loved ones in for swim lessons. Thank you!
Now is the perfect time for swim lessons, get your loved ones ready for the 2013 swim season.
Here are some more comments from customers that have brought their loved ones in for swim lessons:
"There is an amazing swimming instructor at Superior Athletic Club. Her name is Miss Deane. She taught my grandson to swim. She taught him to be safe in water. She taught him to have FUN in the water. But most important, she taught him that when something looks difficult, if you will only TRY, you can do it. And the feeling you get when you accomplish difficult things is the best natural high in the world! My little grandson has esperienced that feeling, and I know that his positive swimming experience will impact his approach to difficult things in his future. He loves the water now, but it hasn't come easily! He was so scared!
Miss Deane is a "no nonsense" teacher. She has rules. You must always ask to enter the pool. "Pool, please, Miss Deane". You never say, "No" to Miss Deane. You say, "I will try, Miss Deane". I can't is a big no-no.
But she is always right by your side, in case you flounder. My six year old grandson really didn't know what to do with her. She meant what she said. And she wouldn't let him get away with "I'm scared". Uh-oh. He had to try.
Because of his sheer terror, my older grandson has been a challenge to teach. But Miss Deane has been SO patient. She never let him get away with any of his usual tricks! AND IT WORKED. He is swimming and loving it! He remembers when he was afraid of water. And he tells me, "But I'm older now, and I know that you just have to keep doing it. Then you learn how!" I'm trying very hard NOT to say "I told you so!" Truly, if you want your kids to learn to swim, take them to Miss Deane at Superior Athletic. Club. She has worked nothing short of a MIRACLE with my grandson.
Thank you Miss Deane.
Lonnie Fernald"
"I enrolled my children in a swim class at Superior Athletic. Club, their instructor is Miss Deane, she is wonderful with the kids and she had my 3 year old swimming on his own by the third lesson.
Miss Deanes' methods are great for the kids, my son, now immediately goes into the turtle swim when he hits the water. Miss Deane has also improved my 7 year old daughters swimming, she already knew how to swim but had no form, she is now doing laps like a pro. I have much more confidence whn my children are in the water. Thank you Miss Deane!!"

I would love to teach you or your loved ones how to be safe in the water and to learn how to swim.

Are you paying for play time instead of swim lessons?
The students in our program learn fast to think for themselves in the water.
Please read recent comments from parents that have children in our Superior Swim Lessons Program:
"Colton's Story"
"After being enrolled for a few months at another facility, I stopped swim lessons a year ago with my twins because they were already very comfortable in the water. After getting a referral to Ms. Deane from a family friend, explaining she taught more about safety than the "water play" that we had been paying for, I decided to try again. After just a few months of swim, I was so impressed with the progress my two year old twins had made, I knew I had made the right choice. However, it was after my son had a nightmare, that I knew Ms. Deane had actually made a potentially life saving impression on my child. The morning after my son awoke screaming and scared, my husband asked him what had scared him.. he told us he was fishing, "oh" I said, "and why was that scary, did you fall in the water" and his exact words were "No, if Colton fall in the water, he flap, flap, kick, kick, penguin swim and starfish." I was amazed at the fact that he actually had a plan in his head of what he would do if he ever fell in, and that falling in the water was not scary thought to him. That, is what I would call priceless. Thank you Ms. Deane for all that you do!"

Two summers spent at the YMCA taking swimming lessons and my daughter, Emily, had made very little progress. I was looking for someone new and we found Miss Deane. Thank goodness! She was an answer to my prayers! Before Miss Deane, Emily wouldn't put her face in the water and she still used floaties. By the middle of her first lesson Emily ditched the floaties and was face down in the water! I am so happy with her progress and she says how much she LOVES swim lessons. Emily's confidence in herself and her swimming ability has skyrocketed - all thanks to Miss Deane and her "no nonsense" approach. Run, don't walk, to sign up for swimming lessons with Miss Deane!

More comments from parents that have their children in our swim program:
"My wife and I are so pleased we found Deane Wilson at Superior Athletic Club for swimming lessons. Our six year old daughter was scared of being in the water without being constantley held by an adult. We tried several teachers around town but she was not making any progress and her swimming lessons often ended in tears. Deane's fun and consistent encouragement combined with her clear expectations has made all the difference. Our daughter now looks forward to swimming and loves seeing Deane each week. Her confidence, inside and outside the pool, has increased and she is more willing to undertake other challenges after conquering her fear of the water. Joe Davis"
"Miss Deane has worked tirelessly to teach my very strong-willed daughter to swim. The reults are nothing short of amazing! Her consistent approach is dependable and predictable. My daughter knows that try as she might, she must put forth her best effort and Miss Deane expects nothing less of her. Miss Deane celebrates her successes and makes my daughter feel like a star when she reaches each swimming milestone. I wish we had started swimming lessons with Miss Deane from the very beginning! Thank you again for all you have done and are doing to keep her swimming! Kelly"
"Swim lessons with Miss Deane have been a blessing in many ways. My nine year old son went from having no swimming skills to being able to swim with grace and style in multiple strokes. He went from being tentative (fearful) of swimming to confident and enthusiatic about swimming. The whole body workout while swimming has also given him a wonderful outlet for all the energy he has. He has taken lessons with Miss Deane for 3 months, three times a week. I believe the instruction and frequency of lessons play a huge role in his amazing progress. Swim lessons with Miss Deane have given him many skills he will use in his lifetime. Kelly, Mother of Abrahm"
"In two months of lessons with Miss Deane my son has made up for years of fruitless summer-time swim lessons. My 9 year old son has had numerous summer lessons through the Parks and Rec Dept. I know each time has been helpful, (he
has had some water fears) but he still had not learned how to swim. Imagine the shock I felt seeing him actually
swimming (an easy free-style!) during just his third lesson with Miss Deane. Miss Deane teaches in a no-nonsense, yet fun, sort of way. She uses very amusing and easy-to-understand instructions for the kids to grasp. Obviously, it was just what my son needed as his swimming skills have exploded. His weekly lesson experience fluctuates between "Aha!" moments and gaining proficiency. I know now that it wasn't him that was the problem with his
swimming, it was the instruction he was receiving (or not, as the case was.) I am extremely proud of him and the hard work he has put into these lessons. Thank you so much, Miss Deane, for bringing out the swimmer, and the confidence, my son had inside of him. Edyth Narlock"

SWIM LESSONS AT SUPERIOR ATHLETIC CLUB
Check out some comments from parents that have their children in our swim program at Superior Athletic Club located at 727 Cardley Avenue, Medford, OR 97504
Our story is not uncommon. We tried the other swim programs in the valley. Some were fun. Some were informative. Some were just plain scary. None were focused nor purposeful - teachers lacked passion and attentiveness. And all failed to deliver what we required, an instructor who commands respect and that motivates her student to swim and learn pool safety. Then one day we were steered in the direction of Miss Deane and everything changed. At our first lesson, our daughter's first instinct was to reach for a swim noodle and bob around until the timer buzzed or someone took interest in her. Not this time, "Is this noodle class or swim class?", asked Miss Deane. After a thoughtful pause, our daughter replied "Swim class, Miss Deane." And from that day forward, swimming is what was taught and learned.
Six months later Abby (4 1/2) can swim the length of the pool - from the "cold end" to the "warm end" using backstroke one lap and perhaps "rainbow arms" another time. She dives to the bottom - propels like a torpedo and most importantly - she has developed a respect for the water and for her teacher.
Thanks Miss Deane.
The Lazorisak Family
Three months ago we decided it was time for our daughter to become acclimated with swimming. Coming from a family of swimmers, we knew summers and vacations would revolve around water. I signed her up with Miss Deane because the talk was that she was "the instructor to go to" in the valley. We are new to the area and accustomed to people over glamorizing, having a master's in education I was skeptical, but thought we would give it a try. Even if Miss Deane was ok, she could still teach our daughter to swim couldn't she?
Miss Deane has continuously surpassed our expectations. She clearly has lesson plans from a large pool of techniques yet is able to adapt and customized each lesson based not only the children but their moods. Miss Deane treats the children with respect (which is vital for my three year old), has high expectations that challenge even the most stubborn of children and yet is caring and compassionate towards them when needed. Each class integrates new methods with the old. The children are forevermore being challenged and yet feel comfortable because they are always able to succeed.
I, too, now am one of those parents who proclaim Miss Deane's class to be "the class to go to" in the valley for swimming. If watching my three year old child float, working on strokes like the butterfly and swimming unassisted after less than three months wasn't enough, my daughter's begging to go to swim class does it.

Our daughter has been to YMCA, ABK and even swimming lessons at Hawthorne Park and she made some progress at each one though slowly. At some, lessons were inconsistent and ineffective, or the classes were too large and students would also distract one another. Teachers underestimated students and kept the swim classes "dumbed" down.
At Superior the first half hour had our daughter doing things the other classes had not managed. Casey, her instructor, is both positive and assertive keeping all the kids in his small class on task and is brilliant at refocusing them on their swimming methods. My daughter not only has fun but is now eager to perfect her swimming. Kids aren't put on the sideline and ignored if they try to wimp out, but persuaded to test their limits. It works.
Superior swim class is a huge positive after a long sting of dissappointments.
My thanks to Casey & Deane for such a high quality program for kids.

My family took swim lessons this summer from Miss Deane. My 7 year old, 5 year old, 3 year old children and I, all took lessons. I am an adult who never learned how to swim. I was previously terrified of the water but did not want to go through the rest of my life not being able to swim and enjoy the water. We have had our children in swim lessons with different instructors since each of them were 2 years old, but they were still unable to swim. One summer with Miss Deane changed all of that. Not only is our 7 year old swimming like a Dolphin, our 5 year old and 3 year old have also learned how to swim! And the biggest news, at age 40 years old, I am now able to swim!!! Miss Deane was patient and taught me not to be afraid of the water. For the first time in my life, I am able to swim with everyone else. It is truly amazing. This summer has literally been life changing for me and my family all thanks to Miss Deane's exceptional teaching and skill in the water.

Here are some comments from parents that have their children in our swim program:
Our 4 year old son son has been taking swimming lesson from Miss Deane for 2 1/2 months. He has gone from flailing in the water to swimming the length of the pool 3xs using three different strokes. She is amazing with children. She has been able to bring out the best in Xander - having him work hard in the pool all the while he is laughing and smiling. Every day he asks if he gets to go swimming with Miss Deane. We have taken swim lessons at Rogue Valley YMCA, ABK, Rogue Scuba and Medford Parks and Rec. None of these instructors have come close to providing the level of instruction and enthusiasm Miss Deane provides! She is wonderful! And we highly recommend her to everyone!
Dr. Ira & MJ PoveyMiss Deane has been giving our 2 children (ages 6 & 8) once a week swim lessons for the last 4 months. Within 2 lessons our 6 year old was swimming better than he had after 10 lessons at another facility. Our 8 year old, who could already swim, improved her technique and ability just as quickly.
Miss Deane immediately instilled confidence in our children and set a tone of firmness regarding water safety. The children love their lessons with Miss Deane introducing new ideas and concepts through a variety of methods and games. And sometimes we wonder who is more excited when a challenge is met or a techniques is learned... the children or Miss Deane with her shouts of encouragement and praise?
We would strongly recommend Miss Deane to any parent who would like to see their child develop a sound swimming ability and water safety awareness.
Hala and Dennis SchepmannI am amazed, at each lesson, the progress Ava and Bradley are making. At the beginning of the year Bradley had to be coaxed into the water. Now he is swimming 1/2 length of the pool! I can only attribute that to Miss Deane's patience and her enthusiasm. Ava is swimming with confidence (and even grace - a little synchronized swimmer!) I only wish Miss Deane taught pre-school as well.

Ask yourself this question.......
Why wait until the summer months to provide swim lessons for my loved ones?
The benefits of fall/winter swim lessons are numerous.
* class sizes are smaller which means more time is spent with each student
* provides for total body exercise on those cold and rainy days of winter
* fun activity for all members of the family
* students will be ready for the sun filled water days of summer

Here are some recent comments from parents that provide their children with swim lessons during the fall and winter months.
I enrolled my daughter, Brenna, into swim lessons at a different facility when she was 4. She is now 6 1/2. She had group swim lessons twice a week during the school year and unfortunately came out of that without learning how to swim and still very afraid of the water. I enrolled her in another 6 week class during the summer, thinking that I would give it another try. At the end of that additional 6 week class I found that she was still terrified of the water and still didn't know how to swim. I look back now and realize she wasn't excited to go to swim class. She was full of anxiety, however, I felt it was important to continue because I feel learning how to swim could one day save her life. Brenna's first lesson with Miss Deane was a very proud moment for Mom! Mainly because I saw how proud Brenna was of herself. She was swimming on her first lesson. A little nervous - but
SWIMMING! Her next lesson was even better. Not so nervous and swam her little heart out. She even jumped in without a flotation device on - something she never did at the other facility. Brenna has a blast in Miss Deane's swim class and looks
forward to each and every lesson - with excitement! Thank you Miss Deane! You are a amazing teacher!
Susan - Proud Mom of Brenna
Our seven-year old son, who is mildly autistic, had spent almost one year in group lessons without being able to put his face in the water or letting go of his grip on his teachers. In short, he was no close to feeling comfortable swimming than when he had started group lessons. In six half-hour private lessons with Deane Wilson, he is now voluntarily blowing bubbles, opening his eyes underwater, and "turtle swimming" the length of a 25 yard pool, without the aid of a flotation device. Deane understands our son's apprehensions, but continuously cheers him on and inspires him to overcome his inner blocks by pushing him out of this comfort zone while respecting his fears. She does so with radiant facial and vocal expressions that are critical cues for many autistic children, but simultaneously continues to set goals for our son, always setting the bar higher and never settling for mediocrity or lack of effort. We would enthusiastically and gratefully recommend Deane as a teacher and an inspiration.
David Mathieu & Ivonne Martinez Razo
It has been wonderful to watch our children learn important swimming skills from Miss Deane. Each of them have different personalities and skills levels. Miss Deane is extremely competent at teaching them in a group setting, while focusing on individual growth. Miss Deane has an awesome relationship with our children. She allows them to enjoy swimming while maintaining a learning environment full of respect, growth and love.
Annie & Derek Kane
Give a healthy gift that will last a lifetime to someone you love...swim lessons!

There is ample room at pool side to watch the lessons or you can relax in a comfortable room with a flat screen television while your loved ones learn how to swim.

SWIMMING! Her next lesson was even better. Not so nervous and swam her little heart out. She even jumped in without a flotation device on - something she never did at the other facility. Brenna has a blast in Miss Deane's swim class and looks
forward to each and every lesson - with excitement! Thank you Miss Deane! You are a amazing teacher!

Our seven-year old son, who is mildly autistic, had spent almost one year in group lessons without being able to put his face in the water or letting go of his grip on his teachers. In short, he was no close to feeling comfortable swimming than when he had started group lessons. In six half-hour private lessons with Deane Wilson, he is now voluntarily blowing bubbles, opening his eyes underwater, and "turtle swimming" the length of a 25 yard pool, without the aid of a flotation device. Deane understands our son's apprehensions, but continuously cheers him on and inspires him to overcome his inner blocks by pushing him out of this comfort zone while respecting his fears. She does so with radiant facial and vocal expressions that are critical cues for many autistic children, but simultaneously continues to set goals for our son, always setting the bar higher and never settling for mediocrity or lack of effort. We would enthusiastically and gratefully recommend Deane as a teacher and an inspiration.

It has been wonderful to watch our children learn important swimming skills from Miss Deane. Each of them have different personalities and skills levels. Miss Deane is extremely competent at teaching them in a group setting, while focusing on individual growth. Miss Deane has an awesome relationship with our children. She allows them to enjoy swimming while maintaining a learning environment full of respect, growth and love.
