I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with CAST and all of the staff there. They have become like family to us and have taught our kids the importance of water safety and the skills and confidence to help them survive if ever in a life threatening situation. The progress that both of our kids have made is truly amazing. It’s definitely a commitment, but one that I will never regret doing!
