The best swim lessons so far

We have tried swim with Ian for about 3 years. Never has clicked. But I worked very patiently on getting him interested in the water. That plight was successful so now it's even more important for him to be safe.

This man is amazing with him. He's the aquatics director for Leapz and Boundz, a therapy center. And he's fabulous at what he does. Our 2nd session he tried to turn us over to a new instructor and I declined and explained why. Ian is a complex guy with a very full schedule. We don't have the time to work with someone inexperienced. Lucky for us he understood and agreed to take him on his own schedule.

He's already saying how great his kicks are. Which is remarkable because we did a session last year and this summer with one of the top instructors in Los Angeles who couldn't get him to kick at all. And he gets about a thousand kids a summer to swim in a week. Of course most all of them are neurotypical.

We are very excited to see how these go. Will post again soon.
