Testimonial

In August 2008, whilst we were on an extended holiday in Bali, our son William who had just turned 3 years old fell into the pool when he was reaching for a ball. He was being supervised at the time by a Balinese nanny who could not swim.

William surfaced, turned and made his way to the edge of the pool and monkey crawled to a location where he could climb out himself.

We observed this happen, after hearing the splash and scream of Ketut, the Balinese nanny.

Fortunately, William had been to swim school at MSAC since he was 6 months old and learnt these skills and was able to immediately apply this practice to a real life situation.

Following on from this, he gained much confidence and by the end of the extended holiday, he was able to take long jumps into the pool and safely return to the pool edge and climb out by himself every time.
