RE:
in praise of K.A.S.S. Aquatic Survival School
Dear
Richard and Rachelle,
I feel extremely passionate
about the Infant Swimming Resource program and thank you both for all your
hard work and efforts in bringing this program to Australian children.
As you know, I am well aware of
the alarming infant drowning statistics in Australia and therefore strongly
believe that young children should be taught to respect and understand the
water and to rescue themselves in a drowning situation.
My daughter Tarryn’s safety is
of the utmost importance to me so I wanted the safest, quickest and most
professional swimming lessons for her. I studied what was available and
then choose the ISR program because of its strict safety protocols, well
researched lesson formats and impressive results.
I am proud to say that thanks
to her ISR lessons Tarryn has never worn “floaties”, has always had a
healthy respect for the water and has been self-reliant in the water since
she was 9 months old - even in heavy winter clothes and shoes. This year,
thanks to you in particular, Tarryn has developed increased confidence and a
love for practicing her aquatic skills.
Richard, in my opinion you are
a very talented and skillful Instructor. Tarryn looked forward to her
lessons and learnt quickly. She would tell her friends about lessons and
even invited her pre-school teacher to watch a lesson. By the way, her
pre-school teacher is involved in “Little Nippers” and was extremely
impressed to see a three-year-old demonstrate the aquatic skills Tarryn
performed.
I too am extremely impressed.
I am impressed at how quickly Tarryn completed her refresher program, how
competent and confident she is in water and how well she has retained her
aquatic survival skills. I would not even consider putting her into any
other type of “swimming” lesson.
Thank you again Richard and
Rachelle, Tarryn and I are looking forward to attending lessons later in the
year and hope that many other children have the opportunity benefit from
your lessons.
Yours
Sincerely,
Vanessa
