********** MK REVIEW **********
10 a day. That is the number of drownings per day in the United States. One of the most important things in life is to learn to swim. This was our second year attending the Mt SAC swimming program. The pool is extremely well kept and warm making for a great learning environment. The instructors were fantastic and were great in their step by step process for teaching kids the basics of surviving in the water. Typically swim lessons can get very expensive so I was thrilled to see how affordable private lessons were at Mt SAC. Parents are not allowed in or around the water which I found personally much better for the kids as there were no distractions during the lessons. The instructors all seem experienced and great with kids. They kept the classes fun and by the end of the second week they had my less than courageous son doing freestyle across the pool and confident enough to take on the diving board! Overall I was very impressed with the instructors, facility and prices.
