What families say

“There are no words to describe how great Melissa is. She has been teaching my now 19month old for several months and he LOVES it. He can float on his back, holds his breath and can glide underwater. She recently started working with 4 yr old who was TERRIFIED due to poor teaching from other schools and she made him comfortable and also got him floating and diving. My whole family loves Melissa.” — Lucila M.

“We are thrilled with our experience with Infant Aquatics West U. Our daughter started lessons with Glenda at fourteen months, and the survival skills that she has learned have given us a lot of peace of mind. Glenda is great with kids, and our daughter loves her lessons.” — Anna Valkovich Kavanaugh
