Happy Spring Swim Families!
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful winter and stayed warm through those crazy cold days! I am sure that you are just as ready as we are to start playing outside and enjoying these beautiful spring and summer. Once again the summer is going to be here before we know it, so we are starting group and private lessons on April 19th to make sure your family is ready for all of the summer activities.
This past winter has been a whirl wind for me. I married an remarkable man, Chad, in October that loves me even though I sing the ABC’s and School Bus song in my sleep! J I have also been working hard on getting an online scheduling and payment programming up and running. It is going to make it easier to book and pay for both private and group lessons at the pool or from your computer at home. I hope your family enjoys the program as much as we do!
We are also happy to let you all know that after many requests we are offering two new types of group classes. Safety Techniques I and Safety techniques II that are 40 minute classes structured like private lessons but have a maximum of four students. The classes will be offered both in the mornings and evenings at my homes pool in Pine Castle. Please check out the website at www.Lane4SwimSchool.com for class descriptions to see if they will be good fit for your family.
When you log onto the website and look under Camps/Classes link you can see all of the group classes, times, dates and descriptions that are offered this year. You can pay right away online for the class or you call me and I can reserve your spot and pay when the class begins. For private lessons, look under the appointments link and you can see all of my open time slots for a specific day or for the entire month! In order to reserve a time online for private lessons you must pay immediately but can call me and I can reserve you time and you can pay the week of the lesson.
Don’t worry I didn’t forget about you adults out there. I am also offering a triathlon group for all adults of all ages and swimming abilities. Classes are three times a week at College Park Community Pool. An amazing group of professionals hit the water together at 6am for a workout filled with technique and endurance training followed by a run through the College Park neighborhoods. It is amazing how much success you can have when you workout and compete together as a team.
Ms. Emily, Ms. Jennifer and I look forward to seeing you soon and sharing our love of the water with you and your family this summer.
God Bless,
Jillian Wilkins

I received this amazing letter and wanted to share it with you…thank you to all who believe in me and what I am doing…

Dear Jillian,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the tremendous gift that you have given to my family. Because of your caring and child-centered approach to teaching swimming lessons, Rylee and Reid love the water, are confident in their swimming skills and have no fears about the water. This was never more apparent to us than on Wednesday evening.
Like most two-year-olds, Reid is fearless and like most mothers of two-year-olds, I am fearful. My husband and I often joke that Reid missed the memo that he is only two because he swims all over without regard for anything and he just goes, thinking he is ready for the Olympics! This is certainly a change from a few months ago. You may recall that when we first learned in January that we were going to be buying our new home with a pool, my first phone call was to you. I expressed my concerns to you about my children not knowing how to swim and I even said that if my two-year-old ever falls in the pool, I want him to be able to survive. You assured me that you could help us putting my mind and heart at ease almost immediately.
As parents, my husband and I had hoped that our children would gain the necessary skills to swim and be safe in the water, but we never hoped that they would have to use them for anything besides having fun. We did, however, want them to be ready if God forbid, they ever needed them. Thanks to your methodology, Reid was ready, willing and able to use the skills that you have taught him when he needed them the most. When he fell in the pool on Wednesday, he sank to the bottom. When he came back up to the surface, he did not cry, and he did not panic. Instead, he swam directly to the steps and got out. He took off his wet shirt and handed it to his dad as if to say that the only unusual element was that he had a wet shirt! This was an incredible response from a young child who could have just drowned. Your instruction not only taught him how to swim but also how to react positively upon hitting the water. This reaction was extremely important in this situation. Sixth months ago, I am positive that with the exact same situation the outcome would have been much different and could have been tragic.
You have always been Rylee and Reid’s biggest cheerleader and now we are your biggest cheerleaders. You have a gift in your ability to work with children and teach them to not only swim but to love the water as well. Thanks to you sharing your gift with my family, we still have our gift from God. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do. You will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
Sincerely,
Rebecca McDaid
