Here are some comments from recent students' parents:
Was asking a friend out in the Applegate where to take my son for swim lessons. So she named a few places but then said, "if you want your son to REALLY learn to swim, take him to Superior.... Susie Doss
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.
Sincerely,
The Chmelir Family
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 students to swim and learn pool safety.
ReplyDeleteThen 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 month 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,
