   The instructors and program is AMAZING! My 4 year old hated getting water in her face and didn’t know how to float or swim. After just minutes she was putting her face in the water and smiling! The instructors are so expertly trained and inviting for young ones, so impressed! With just 4 sessions remaining my little one was able to swim herself! Can’t wait for the next session and to see what she’ll be capable of!

   Our 4 year old son has sensory issues directly related to water. From 18 months to age 3 he screamed at bath time and would never put his face in the water. I did not have any hopes that he would ever learn to swim. Foss changed that! My son has just completed Littles 2 and LOVES swimming! He can swim under water independently, dive for rings, and is smiling the entire time. The instructors are fun, patient, and AMAZING. It’s been a miracle!
