"Jim Reiser has produced a wonderful collection of educational tools that parents and teachers alike may draw useful techniques and ideas for fun, effective and developmentally appropriate learning experiences in the water. Jim is a strong voice for the Safer 3 Drowning Prevention message and he is to be praised for his effort to bring the message not only to his swim school students but to school children and families in his region and now through this video to the whole country."Johnny JohnsonPresident, Swim for Life Foundation

"It's refreshing to see teachers out there who truly care not only about the quality of their teaching, but more importantly prioritizing the happiness and well being of their students throughout the learning process. Your use of songs/games and positive reinforcement is most refreshing, as opposed to exploiting parents with guilt bearing fear tactics and imposing forceful backfloat or submersion methods on the children. Thanks for stepping up to the plate."Rob McKayAuthor of "Learning to Swim" and Diaper Dolphins

"Coach Reiser has produced a superb learn-to-swim video. Young children will be introduced to swimming in a way that will make the sport both safe and fun."Phillip WhittenEditor in Chief - Swimming World Magazine
"I have just gone through the "Parent and Me" class for the first time and I will tell you that I am set to enroll again for the next session. This experience has been invaluable both in terms of putting my son, Trent, at ease in the water as well as providing Trent and me a new way to bond as father and son while we learn together. I have watched Trent's improvement with a great deal of pride. There is no way that I would have had the skill or the courage to attempt some of the progressions that we now go through so effortlessly. I especially appreciate that you do not force the children to go through these progressions, but rather provide them a fun environment that motivates them to want to try the next step. This has made it easy for Trent and his Dad to have fun in learning. We look forward to seeing you in many future swim sessions. Many thanks!"Michael Seaman, PH.

"As a former collegiate swimmer and a diver with a teaching background, we had high expectations for our daughters swimming teachers. Coach Jim and his staff have exceeded those expectations and then some. Our daughter has gone from being very nervous at the start of her to crying because she doesn't want her lesson to be over! We are so happy that we are able to give her the opportunity to learn to swim in such a warm, fun, child centered environment".Nicole, Keith, & Isabella IwinskiCollege Diver

"Jim Reiser has done it again. His Bathtub Baby 101 is a wonderful gift for young parents looking for a way to introduce their infant to the water in a way that provides a foundation for later learn to swim lessons. Jim presents valuable ideas and most of all establishes the concept of safety right from the start of a child's aquatic journey. My slogan is :Great Beginnings...Lead to Great Finishes" and Jim has certainly provided an opportunity for many more "Great Beginnings".

His methods will cause children to look forward to their swimming lessons rather than fear them. Because his methods stress fun as well as skill mastery, they will signal a lifelong love affair with the water for your young swimmers."Ernest M. MaglischoLegendary Collegiate Coach

"Your Swim Lessons University teacher training system has very much changed the way I teach little ones. The swim school is a new venture as previously most of our business was in stroke improvement for Triathletes so I was a little worried about teaching the kids, hence the purchase of your video. The one thing that stood out for me on the video was that the children should be upset because they don't want the lessons to end, not because their parents make them have swimming lessons. I now have parents saying their children can't wait for the next lesson which is really great to hear and also great for business, so win, win. Thanks again, Jim, and I'm looking forward already to your next one!"Glen WalkerSlipperly Fish Swim Clinics, United Kingdom

"Your videos are wonderful. I have been teaching swimming for over 35 years, and always seeking new and effective methods! I especially like in your videos that you have chosen students at various skill levels, and emphasize the fact that we learn from the student, and that each has a different learning pattern. Repetition, practice and praise -- works every time, but tailored a bit for each student!"Judy LemkeOwner AquaMANIA Swim Instruction, West Sacramento, California

“I was recently hired as the new aquatic director for the Central Florida YMCA, where I was brought in to revitalize the learn-to-swim program. The timing of receiving Professor Reiser’s new “Parent & Me 101” video could not have been better. It is engaging and dynamic, and it’s making training my teaching staff easier. That’s why they call him “The Swim Professor.” And the former coach shows you exactly how to do it! As an ASCA Level 5 coach and former Division 1A collegiate swimmer myself, I have an extensive background in swimming. But now I have an 18-month old daughter and I am in charge of swim lessons. Teaching babies and toddlers is a whole new ballgame. My daughter Aubrey and our students have already benefited. I am fired up, and I promise that you'll be fired up too after you see this amazing video!”Curt KlausnerCentral Florida YMCA Aquatic Director

"I taught special education for 10 years (mainly deaf and hard of hearing students) and you have created a great checklist!! I will definitely incorporate it into our program (giving you full credit, of course!). I hope to meet you at an USSSA conference some day! I have enjoyed watching all of your videos!"
