As natives of Southern California and Long Island, my husband and I have been in or around a body of water all of our lives. The ocean and the lifestyle of living by the ocean are very important to us. Naturally when we found out we were having a baby we started planning for swimming lessons! We wanted to start our baby as soon as possible and we knew we could do that at Murray Callan Swim School. What we had hoped is that our child would eventually be a very proficient swimmer but we realized that we got a lot more out of swimming. Chloe learned to adapt to her instructors and peers who then helped her adapt to other environments. Because of her early instruction at Murray Callan Swim School we have never seen any type of stranger anxiety and we attribute it to being in a fun yet structured setting like Murray Callan Swim School. She sleeps like an angel after swimming, which is great for us! She has a healthy amount of stimulation from her classes. So that is the mommy and daddy side of the story; the Registered Nurse side of me knows that this is an invaluable skill to possess, especially living in our great city. Accidents and children go hand-in-hand but if we can give Chloe the gift of swimming we are giving her a life-saving tool for the future. Like we needed additional reasons to love Murray Callan Swim School, the facility is super clean, the water is nice and warm and the staff genuinely love the kids. We feel very lucky that Chloe has MCSS!
