We are only on week one of the summer swim lessons for my four year old and I am so impressed. We take water safety extremely seriously and feel that there is no room for error when it comes to non(or young)-swimmers and water. Despite my child only being four years old (she is not yet an independent swimmer), the expectation has already been set that she listens and is in proper attire at the beginning of class including swim cap and goggles, no exceptions.
