What parents say
“Madison is the combination you need—an experienced and focused instructor with an impressive aquatic background who still makes lessons fun and kid-friendly. Otherwise, you know they're not going to want to go! My son was not only happy at the end of each lesson, but it was amazing to see his confidence and pride in himself grow every time he made progress in the water.”
“Madison is incredible! She helped our daughter begin swimming in just the first lesson. She learned to blow bubbles, started swimming with confidence for the first time, and began learning how to float. Madison is a kind, patient, and caring instructor who takes pride and passion in making such a difference in children’s lives. Highly recommended!”
“My 9-year-old daughter had never felt comfortable floating on her back and would often panic. During her very first lesson with Maddie, Maddie playfully explained our bodies’ natural buoyancy through a ‘statue game.’ She then encouraged my daughter to float on her back and look up for birds and planes, and within ten minutes, she was doing it without panicking. Later, while her brother was having his lesson, my daughter was still playing in the pool. A helicopter flew overhead and we all pointed it out. Without any prompting, she immediately floated onto her back to watch it for around 12 seconds. THAT’S the Palmer Swim Method with Maddie.”
