Thank You, MarTar!

"On another note I wanted to give you my MarTar Testimony. Last weekend Monet was invited to go swimming with Kirsten and Emily. She really enjoyed herself. They were throwing the ball to each other. She was very comfortable swimming to get the ball. The girls all jumped in the pool together yelling "Cannon ball." Monet got out a few times and jumped in by herself (even in 5 feet). The girls had noodle races and she won a few times. Her confidence was so high she followed Emily to the diving board and wanted to jump. I stopped her because she has not been in water where her feet is not able to touch the bottom. The lessons at MarTar have given Monet a better quality of life to enjoy herself in social situations. I can't believe this is my daughter who last year Marty was prying her fingers from the lane ropes. Thank you for making a difference in our lives. The smiles and laughs from Monet brought tears to my eyes.
Have a nice day!

"I am very impressed with how their swimming has progressed. Kathryn wouldn't put her face (well didn't really like to) and now she is swimming all over the place. She is even working on her crawl stroke. Eric is also doing very well - he is all over the place. Eric loves jumping in the pool even when I'm not right there with him and swimming in the water to get rings, etc. I'm thrilled.
I owe this success to Brian's teaching and to my kid's desire to swim.
Thank you!!"

”Please pass on my extreme gratitude to Gola. It is amazing the magic that she has woven over my sons, especially my four year old. I was shocked that soon after moving him off the backpack, he has made such amazing progress . For her to get him swimming four laps by himself is incredible. He has such a newfound confidence in his swimming that today at the pool we belong to, he jumped off the diving board into 11 feet of water and comfortably swam to the edge of the pool to climb out. He didn't just do it once, he did it 6 times. The lifeguards were amazed. While I stood by the edge of the pool the whole time, it is wonderful knowing that he has learned the proper swimming tools and techniques from you all. I would recommend your instructors to anyone. You get what you pay for, and I am beyond pleased at the progress that both my boys have made, from the younger one who doesn't need me in the pool with him, to my seven year old who is perfecting his stroke and learning how to breathe to the side, it is a true pleasure to go to the pool. Thank you to all the instructors they have had over the years with you all, and thank you to Gola who has made this summer even better!!”

”We truly appreciate what Tara, Marty and the MarTar Swimming family have done to teach Malcolm how to swim. His transformation during the past year has been phenomenal. Malcolm has transformed from a boy who was afraid of the pool to someone who truly enjoys swimming.This change is due, in large part, to the MarTar efforts. We truly appreciate your dedication, sincerity and compassion.”

“I didn’t think my daughter, who has mild cerebral palsy and is developmentally delayed, would ever learn how to swim. At age 16, she started weekly lessons with MarTar last year. Today she is able to swim the entire width of the pool! Many kudos to MarTar and all their excellent aquatic instructors!!!”
