03.01.2022 2 months ago Jett wasn’t able to even put his head under water without hesitation and holding his nose. Now he is able to glide and and able to keep his head under water and not breath out while his heads down. What amazing progress in such a short time. Is your child needing assistance in water safety? It’s play based therapy and Jett absolutely thrives off it.
