My favorite part is watch the little ones blossom with new found confidence in the water. Its also nice to see the peace of mind that comes to parents when thier child is safer having learned how to "save themselves" by gaining the skills to float competently, consistently & effectively so if they fall into deep water they can call for help &/or get to edge alone. Water Safety is my number one goal.
They joy in that I see when students can accomplish goals and feel enlightened with reading and writing well.
