Swim Lessons

For the past 4 summers Mady has attended swim lessons at Double R in Chuluota. We love their program and their approach with the kids. It is definitely intense and parents are asked to leave if their child is uncooperative. KK is now 2 and ready for swim lessons. They don't start until age 2, so we know she is ready. She loves playing in the pool, so we knew she not only needed swim lessons, but was ready for them. Mady is a great swimmer and is there for moral support for her sister, as well as working on her dive and perfecting her strokes. This will probably be Mady's last summer of swim lessons, but KK will continue for the next couple of summers.


At the first lesson they let the little ones get a feel for the water and practice kicking and arm strokes above the water. The second day and from there on is a whole different story! We are now practicing swimming to the steps under water!




Mady's class immediately went to the deep end so Mrs. Allison could assess their strokes and see if they've regressed from last summer. By the end of the class they were swimming laps! They are now working on diving and learning the different strokes.
