down okay we got a little guy coming in
he's two years old his name is Cadet
Jake he's been swiming with me for about
eight months I only see Cadet Jake
though once a week and you know I don't
see him every week I got to say he loves
the pool he's really good at swimming he
enjoys his experience here and that's
what matters most to most families yes
could he save himself if he fell in say
there's an 80% chance but um you know
because I only see him once a week it's
definitely not
guaranteed but that's not the idea the
idea for his lessons is to be fun to
show him the skills to make sure he
enjoys the pool as much as possible and
then over time he's going to be swimming
all around this pool with ease and
simplicity so I'm going to show you some
of those steps today with Cadet Jake
whenever he gets here um I'm going to
show you how he's going or what exactly
I do to get him swimming to get him
floating on his back even though I see
him uh only once a week so I hope you

to too much for
you byebye see you later
I hope you guys enjoyed that lesson with
Cadet Jake that is definitely a more fun
survival lesson again I only see Cadet
Jake only once a week and that's if we
even do the lesson um he was having a
blast he's extremely confident is he the
safest no but we are close and we are
getting there he understands he needs to
roll over he does flow pretty well um
you know and and for as often as I see
him that's pretty good progress so I
think the main focus of those lessons is
keeping that insane bravery keeping that
confidence trying to com uh combine
those two things with the survival
skills in the pool this is not the ideal
path for every single child but it is a
good path for individual once a week
