random #KidStuff - I can’t say enough good things about the “British Swim School” for kids swimming lessons. It’s a franchise, so there may be one near you, wherever you are, but at ours the instructors are plain awesome with the kids - even the ones that can be a little challenging. I have no idea how they do their hiring of instructors, but every single one here in Lancaster is downright awesome.
