Before starting swim lessons, Savannah’s teacher, Ms. Harris, described her as timid and quiet. But now, thanks to swimming, she has blossomed. “Swimming has given her a boost of confidence, and she has come out of her shell,” Ms. Harris shares.

The Learn to Swim program didn’t just teach Savannah a life-saving skill, it also transformed her self-esteem and confidence. At her final lesson, she sat down with Coach Aponi to reflect on her journey.

Interview with Savannah

What’s your favorite part of swimming?
“I can’t choose because all of it is my favorite!”

How did you feel about swimming before and after lessons?

If you had the chance to take swim lessons again, would you?
“YES!”

Savannah’s story is a testament to how swimming is more than just a sport; it’s a confidence builder, a skill for life, and, most of all, fun!
