As a first-time dad, its overwhelming learning about all of the dangers that are out there, especially around water. Not only do Kara and her team give my daughter the skills she needs to thrive, but having a structured activity with other exhausted parents is truly uplifting."

After seeing how much extra training my oldest needed because she started in floaties, I knew I wanted a safer path for my younger two. Teaching them to float from the start has made all the difference—it’s even saved my little one during a few scary moments. I recommend swim lessons and water safety to any parent whose kids are around water!"
