“I am so glad we found John’s website this summer. My son had an incident in a friends’ spa where he almost drowned and needless to say, I was desperate for him to learn to swim. Fast! Max is 7 years old and has a form of dwarfism, which makes his limbs shorter than the average child. Despite having lessons in the UK for a year, Max had never learned to float and couldn’t seem to balance in the water.
I contacted John after reading his testimonials, hoping he would help. John explained some breathing exercises to work on with Max prior to his lessons. I hadn’t realized that he had trouble holding his breath for any length of time. Within 20 minutes, he had it mastered and was ready for lessons.

During the first lesson, John taught Max how to float on his stomach with his head in the water… I was amazed! After 4 lessons, Max gained enough confidence to collect items from the bottom of the pool and to swim underwater whilst holding his breath. Max now loves swimming and has been practicing his new skills at the pool. He is so proud of himself.

Thank you so much John for restoring Max’s confidence and giving him the freedom to enjoy the water. I can’t wait to see the progress he makes in the next 4 lessons.”
