Swim with the Stags
Sunday, August 24, 2008

They run the lesson program in both the fall and the spring semesters to help fund their trip.

Testimony from Spring Swim Lesson Program:
Dear Kaitlyn and Carolyn,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting together such an outstanding swim program. My two year old daughter, Layla, thoroughly enjoyed the lessons and became very confident in the water as a result. Her teachers were very patient with her even when she insisted on jumping into their arms when it wasn't her turn. I took her to Florida a week after her lessons and she was eagerly stepping off the side of the pool into the water. Even though I had her in a swim vest, I'm positive that it was because of this class that she was able to kick, reach and ultimately get her self to the other side of the pool and back entirely on her own! Her teachers did an outstanding job and I thank them very much!
We look forward to continuing with this program again in the Fall. Have a great summer and go Stags!
Sincerely,
Sarah Puerini
