To Whom It May Concern:

I, Heidi Mielke, mother of Reece (15 months on starting) would hereby like to confirm Reece’s attendance and completion of the Kids Aquatic Survival School, intense swimming course. Reece attended to course from a Monday to a Friday over a seven week period. The course was held on an individual, one on one basis with Richard Beesley the instructor. This individual attention allowed Reece to develop a bond with Richard, giving him the confidence that he was safe at all times, even in an unfamiliar situation.

We had done one season at the local leisure centre in a group situation, but felt that Reece was not developing a skill that would help him survive a fall into a pool or off the side of a boat, it was more a play session the pool, always supported by someone or a floatation devise, and never allowing him to experience swimming on his own.

The K.A.S.S course has taught Reece to be confident and relaxed, yet still cautious, around water, whether it is a swimming pool or the ocean. He now really enjoys swimming, and looks forward to our next swim.


Kindest Regards

Heidi Mielke
