"To the SWIM AND SURVIVAL ACADEMY,
Just a quick note to say thanks for all the work you have done with Brock over the past term and the school holidays.
Brock has certainly come a long way in the water. I could never have imagined that he would blow bubbles or voluntarily kick his legs in the water.
Brock was enrolled at a different centre previously and used to be in such a state that he would run out of the centre and onto the road trying to escape lessons. They put him in the "too hard" basket and told me to try again in a couple of terms. So as you can appreciate we are deeply grateful for the work you have all put in with Brock.
The height of his progress was obvious to me on the last weekend. I took the boys to Warrnambool. It was too cold for the beach, but we did visit the indoor pool facility there. Brock was actually excited to go! He hoped in the program and "fun" pool with no encouragement at all. He had a ball- for the first time playing with his brothers in the water and chasing them through the water of the pool. He even left the side of the pool and kicked on a kickboard. And blew bubbles.
I know the lessons with Brock have been demanding on you all, but you have all treated him with such patience and perseverance that I felt it must be acknowledged. Without you guys he wouldn't be as happy to in the water as he is. So thank you.
Kind regards
