Narrator: Sandy Scheider, Flipkick Swim Academy Client
My son Pryce when he was 17 months old, we had just built a new house out in the country, we had stock pond. They had finished the swimming pool, it was filled and we were working on getting the fence put up. We were leaving to go load up the car to go visit my grandfather and he climbed out of the car and snuck around the back of my house, without me seeing.
So when I went to get in the car, I didn't see him. Paisley was there, but he wasn't. So I opened the door and I called to my husband and I said "Do you have Pryce?". And he was upstairs showering, about to get in the shower, and he's like "No I don't have him".
So I walked in the door, walked from our garage through the kitchen and I could see the water moving. Like something was in there and I could see him, full clothed, tennis shoes, full diaper...a foot away from the steps and he was crying and visually upset, but on his back. But his face, the water was here [pointing to her temples].
When I went to sleep, for the rest of the week, all I could see was that. But he did what he was suppose to do, he floated. I'm so thankful for Flipkick and Kona, because I have my son.

I have 2 daughters, we started with Flipkick when my younger daughter was 6 months old and my older daughter was 3 and a half. There were a lot of reasons why we decided we wanted our kids to swim early. One was safety. There are a ton of residential pools in the area, and we like to spend a lot of summers at the lake. So, we knew they needed to be safe in the water. I was not a good swimmer. I learned how to swim in my thirties.
What brough us to Flipkick, my older daughter was swimming in the summers and was great, was doing wonderful, but by the next summer we had to take lessons all over again, because they just don’t remember it. So, it was playing catch up. We found out from a friend about Flipkick and it sounded perfectly, because we could do it anytime of year we wanted to, 10-minute lessons… perfect…. and we went to take lessons and it was incredible.
The little one got put in the water and within minutes, I don’t know, they figured out how to flip her around, she was swim-float-swimming, I couldn’t believe it you know. I’ve never seen a kid that young, dropped in the water swimming. Then the big one, within a week, was even better than she’d been all summer. I decided we would stay in the program as long as the girls were progressing. I think I’ve counted, it’s been five years.
It works with your schedule; however, you want to make it work. It’s a short amount of time. You see progress immediately. The instructors are calm and patient, both with the kids as well as the parents, cause it’s unnerving to have your kid in the water, especially at such a young age. I just rave; I tell everyone about it. It is completely worth it and you can do it all year round, so that your kid doesn’t have to learn then forget and then relearn.
