My 5 year old son has a vision impairment and had been moved from a larger pool in the area (due to the children having to get out without assistance, walk around numerous parents/obstacles unaided and then get back in down the other end). I was actually checking out another option after visiting Swim Stars but felt totally relaxed talking to the owner (Sam) and observing others in the pool. Classes are smaller, it's $2 per lesson cheaper than other schools and they do not make you pay for school holidays. My son was also very stressed about putting his head under water due to the trial lesson at the other bigger swim school. He was yelled at at the other one and forced to put his head under water so was very stressed about doing any lessons anywhere.
The staff at Swim Stars were so gentle and the swimming teacher (another Sam) listed to all of my concerns. My son loves attending Swim Stars and has no fear of going under water. His progression from zero water skills to now is a testament to the time spent on each child and the method used to teach. Absolutely love the place. :)
Approximate cost: $17 per lesson
I searched a number of party suppliers for the Paper Eskimo Sherbert Blue party range. Let's Get This Party had the entire range, shipped quickly and was reasonably priced. Items were as described.
Approximate cost: $40
