Resa, 51, "Family Fun for a Very Special Family"
I met Resa a couple years ago when she brought her son, Jack (now 12), to me for a swim lesson. I spent the better part of that half hour working on desensitizing him and just trying to get him into the pool. Jack has autism, is non-verbal and is a member of a very special family. I'm always amazed at the ripple effect of autism on families.
Barbara "Accomplishing The Ultimate"
I started Barbara's lesson the way I start almost every single one of my swimmers- blowing bubbles. This is the most important part of swimming! Inhale, exhale. Relax. Breathe in, breathe out. Relax.
Fran, 62, "I can't breathe!"
Fran emailed me with a worry. She has never really been comfortable with water.
