    We have two daughters (age 2) enrolled in Mini2. We started because our girls were terrified of the water and we wanted them to lose that fear. Swim Instructor STEVE is such a wonderful teacher! Within 4 weeks our girls were participating entirely in every lesson. They now look forward to the lessons. It is such a relief that they have lost their fears and are learning basic, important safety lessons while in the water! Thank you Goldswim!!!
