Ava – 2 years old
Ava started in our parent-tot class and was fearful and crying for many of her first few lessons. We stuck to it, helped Ava overcame her fears and she progressed very quickly. Now she is swimming across the pool without assistance at 2 years, 9 months of age. We are proud of her!
Jeanine, Ava’s mom had this to say…
I am so amazed and grateful for the progress Ava has shown. She started lessons at just barely two years old, and quite fearful of the water. The instructors at EVO are first class and the reason that we didn’t give up. Although at times it seemed as though she would never get through a lesson in Starfish (parent-tot) without crying, the EVO instructors were always calm and reassuring, while still helping her gain skill. After months of perseverance, and letting Ava set her own pace, she turned a corner and seems to have left any fears behind. After only a few months in the Otter class with Jennifer, she is now in Seal and loving her swim lessons each week. Instead of “no swim” with tears, I now hear “yeah, swim class!” I can’t tell you how proud I was the first time I saw her go from one end of the pool to the other all on her own. She is doing amazing things at only 2 years old because of the EVO staff. Thank you so very much.
