“Melissa Meris  was amazing from the beginning. She has complete control over the sessions/kids and make sure to give you feedback during and after each session. She is very knowledgeable and extremely patient. At the end of the 6 weeks, my now 15 month old son Jackson is capable of doing a full swim, float, swim series and i couldn’t be more happier with the service she provided. We will definitely be back for maintenance and for my future children.” - Crystal T

 

“Working with Melissa for swim has been such a rewarding experience. My son was 21 months when he started and on only the 2nd day he was floating independently with minimal guidance from her. Through and through, as the weeks passed on we were able to see such a progression in his skill and boost in his confidence, as he learned to trust the process and conquer this important life skill. He would cry when we would pull into the parking lot, but as the days continued he was so happy to come ‘swim’ and be in the water with Melissa. Melissa is patient, kind, knowledgeable and anticipates any scenario and adjusts accordingly. We were hesitant at the beginning to commit to 5 days a week for 6 weeks, but Melissa is SO ACCOMMODATING and flexible in working around your schedule and making it work for you. She is always a text away and is ALWAYS willing to work with you. Do yourself the favor and enroll your little ones now. The sooner the better and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I cried every session at the beginning (happy tears!) because I was so proud and impressed with my little guy and his progress. It’s so rewarding to witness!” -Nicole P.“

 

Last year I enrolled my then two year old and 11m old in a 6w daily swim session with Melissa.Reason being, I refused to have a child of mine be included in the number of child drownings that occur each year. My family thought I was crazy for committing to that type of schedule… And I definitely had my reservations.  A part from committing to 10min a day for 6weeks, I was also worried that my kids would have an awful experience and end up not enjoying the pool.  I was actually going to back out the night before our first class; however, I am so happy we didn’t. Did my kids cry during the first few sessions, yes… and honestly, during the first few days I still struggled with continuing but I also saw immediately how Melissa was instilling skills in them that could save their lives one day, so we stuck with it.  After about week 2, my kids stopped crying and started enjoying being in the pool… it was as if a light switch went on in them… my oldest could float, swim and jump in the pool all without any assistance and my baby learned how to float and stay calm in the water incase he fell in… priceless! It is actually a sight to be seen and I am so thankful to Melissa for giving them the skills and confidence to be super swimmers and me peace of mind whenever we are around water.  Most recently, we completely our second summer session and I was left feeling amazed and full of gratitude towards Melissa.” -Jen F.

 

“I'm completely blown away by how quickly and effectively my 3 year old has learned life-saving skills and how to swim. Melissa Meris was always kind and patient with my daughter during her lessons. She communicated instructions in a way that was fun. I am so grateful to have discovered this program and recommend it to everyone. Specifically, Melissa made it a wonderful experience. We are going to miss spending our mornings with her!” -Cathy R.    

 

“Melissa is a wonderful instructor. She was so good with our daughter and so patient! Would recommend her to anyone!” -James M

 

“So happy we did this! We hadn’t really exposed our 20 month old to water yet and wanted to make sure the swim class we chose would take their safety and understanding of water seriously - we didn’t want a frou-frou class just getting our son used to the water, we wanted a class that would teach him exactly what to do if he fell in. So happy we found Melissa Meris - our son learned to swim in 4 weeks!” - Mallory J

 

“Melissa is a necessity. It is amazing how much kids can learn and accomplish practicing 10 minutes a day for a few short weeks. My 2 year old and my 4 year old made astonishing leaps. My 4 year old went from not being able to swim at all to learning how to float and then magically swim- giving him the ability to swim the whole length of the pool, even the deep end, in a very safe way. My 2 year old would naturally assume the floating position when in water. Having themlearn these skills was invaluable!” -Nika F
