St. Louis, MO 
We’re so exited to announce Hadley as our student of the month for April! Hadley started with us as a 3-year-old minnow who was afraid of the water, but through a lot of hard work (and plenty of fun games) she has made amazing progress!
Here’s a note that her mom recently sent us that absolutely made our day!
I just wanted to send you all my heartfelt thanks for all you have taught Hadley over the past year and a half. We went to Disney this past week, and when we were not in the park we were at the pool. She was able to go down the water slide unattended! I stayed close enough to grab her if the current was too much but she would go straight to starfish and kick herself out.
She also participated in a relay race with the big kids. They had to swim from one side of the pool and back with a T-shirt on and then pass the T-shirt to the next kid. I did have her wear a life jacket, only because I knew she would get a little tired going that far. But, she kicked really hard and was only passed by the 8 year old she was up against in the last few feet. (She was the first swimmer). I am so impressed with how well she swims and how much more relaxing it is for me to take her to the pool! And, I can’t even tell you how many times she would say “Look at what Kayla taught me!” And then show me her shark fin or backstroke.
We’re so proud of her!
