Pittsburgh, PA
Meet Lilly Bryan, a swimmer from our Robinson location. Lilly was 3 ½ years old when she started Minnow. Now she just turned 5 and is a Shark 1.
Then
When you began, what was your swimming goal? It’s a tie: Not having to wear a life vest at the pool and beating her brother and sister in a swimming race.
What is your first swimming memory? Being so excited on her first day and learning to float!
What was your instructor’s name?
Mr. Ryan
Now
What is your swimming goal today? To learn how to do Butterfly with perfect dolphin kicks.
If you could swim anywhere, where would it be? The wave pool at Disney World.
Would you like to teach others how to swim? No, I want to be a Scientist but I will send my kids to the British Swim School.
What is the most valuable lesson swimming has taught you? How to save myself if I would accidentally fall in the bathtub, pool or ocean.
From Lilly’s mom: “We are very happy with Lilly’s experience at BSS. Her teachers have been very nice and she has learned so much in such a short time. Whenever we were at a public pool this summer, at least one parent would ask where she learned to swim because she looks so small going off the diving board and swimming in the deep water. Lilly has had some challenges since starting BSS with reoccurring ear infections, pneumonia and stitches in her chin but she has still made great progress!”
