We really love having M as an instructor for our son and he really likes her a lot. She's been so patient and positive with him. Thank you so much for everything she's done for him over the last 9 months. We know he's a handful and she's really taught him so much, while keeping him focused. We really appreciate all of her efforts! She has been a wonderful teacher and a mature, responsible, kind and caring young woman!
I'm so happy that the Y is helping children learn how to be safe in
the water. My daughter has been to two classes so far and I already see a
big difference in her confidence level. My daughter loves it here so
much! - M. Velez
