I was so extremely touched by the magnitude of care EVO swim school displayed to Trey and myself this past Wednesday! Trey has been trying his hardest to pass the test to graduate himself into the next level of swim lessons (from an Otter to a Seal)...bless his heart! EVO has a guarantee that if you don't move up to the next level within 3 months, they will give you a discount on your months dues until your child is able to advance. I explained when we began that Trey may not be able to progress at this rate. After three months was up and a few weeks of trying, Wednesday the instructors (Jennifer and Larry) worked with one another to try to figure out were Trey was laking the strength to be able to complete an exercise he needed to move forward. Jen, the PT, showed up and together after trying the kick board, paddle board, noodle and vest, an ankle float wrapped around Trey's waist would give him the help he needed to build the muscle's required of him to continue to the next lever at EVO. I thanked all three of the instructors with tears in my eyes and again told them that if this wasn't the right place for Trey then we understood and would look into more of a PT/swim lesson. Larry said he had spoke to the owner, David and without hesitation that this was the place for Trey to be and that they would help Trey as much as possible to achieve his/mine and their goals. At the end of the lesson Trey got to float in a boat for a bit just before Miss. Jennifer tipped it over to test how Trey handled finding his way to the side of the pool without assistance - no problem. We are in the right place alright!
The following Friday I explained to Miss Stacy at Spectrum Spine that we would like for Trey to build the muscles in his wrists, forearms and shoulders and again, without hesitation she modified his pool and gym PT to incorporate this goal.
Watch out Michael Phelps, Michael Trey will be on your "fins" in no time!
