Murray Callan has been such an amazing experience for my son amd myself. He started when he was 7 months old and is now 15 months old and able to swim to the bottom, jump off the side of the pool and swim to the instructor and actually plays in the shallow water swimming from side to side with his head under water for 10 seconds. Our instructor Brett always goes above and beyond to make sure my son gets the most out of his lesson. If Jake is grumpy and we have to quit early, Brett makes up the time in another lesson. Brett has gone out of his way to make sure parents with two kids can swim at the same time. Brett is excellent with children and understands how to get the most out of each child. Some parents complain about all the rules they have but in the absense of rules there would be complete chaos. I find Murray Callan to be easy to work with and very accomodating. Most places would not let you do classes in advance if you are going to miss or allow you to call in last minute to come later in the day if your son is sleeping. Lastly, I know friends who have taken their kids to the ""quick"" swimming lessons and it has back fired making their kids afraid of the water instead of comfortable and safe in the water. Like any sport, it takes time to become good at it and being a personal trainer I understand this better than anyone. Jake would not be this amazing and comfortable in the water if his lessons were too advanced for his level. Thank you Murray Callan and most of all thank you Brett!!!!!\r

P.S. I just read the review from the temper tantrum Moms and anyone who can say those things about Brett needs to take a look at themselves. I have watched Brett talked to irrate parents and he is always calm, understanding and listens but does not allow people to abuse him or his staff. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. Get out and enjoy what life has to offer instead of dwelling on not getting your way. The only one that loses in your situation is your child.
Pros: Excellent instruction
Cons: Nasty parents in the program
