“We really enjoy our time at Little Dippers because it provides a lot of joy for our son who faced health challenges. Just seeing how happy he is, makes us so pleased. He can be himself and be included in an activity while strengthening his body and having fun. The team at Little Dippers is wonderful and continues to help with water confidence. Thank you!”

“I just wanted to pass along some positive feedback for one of your teachers Jessie who takes the 8:30am class on Saturday. My son Cillian is very cautious and reluctant to join in the class and Jessie is so accommodating and welcoming, encouraging him without putting any pressure on us.”
