This won't take long.  I promise.  We at Suntastic value relationships.  Within those relationships we make sure we tend to customer service and excellent swim instruction.

Being a small "grassroots" business, it's important to us to develop relationships with others that can help spread the word about Suntastic Swim School and what we stand for.  We have attempted to advertise with many outlets with limited success. That's ok.  We knew this going in. 

That said, we still may not see a tremendous amount of traffic from Oakland County Moms Blog, but Lisa has demonstrated what relationships mean and how important it is especially to small business owners. Lisa was helpful and illustrated professionalism and collaboration as we communicated-starting about four months ago...

We have constantly touted through our social media outlets that we are about relationships.  This is not a tagline or something we take lightly.  In fact, it's quite the opposite. We feel that at the core of our values is developing relationships with clients-this allows us to educate, instruct and inform. 

It's about swimming but, really, it's more than that.

As many of you are aware (or not) this week is Autism Awareness Week. Did you know that 1 in 68 children and 1 in 42 boys are affected with Autism? 

Want to know more,  learn the signs of Autism.  If nothing else, read some of the experiences that parents and families go through.  It will open your eyes. 

That said, summer is an exciting time for all children.  Swim lessons and water safety are important aspects of any childhood this includes all children with special needs.  Research indicates that swim lessons can have a positive effect on children with Autism not only in the physical sense but also social improvements have been noted.   

We encourage families to explore their options and choose what is best for the special needs swimmer.  It is amazing to see the responses and reactions from these swimmers as they progress and gain confidence in the water.    

Below is a video from Autism Speaks that illustrates the importance of swim instruction and water safety for an Autistic swimmer:

Welcome to the first blog post! 

What can you expect from this blog?
We at Suntastic are committed to passing along information to you from other resources and partners in the swim instruction industry.  We don't have all the answers.  We will, however, bring you content that will help you make informed decisions about swim instruction and water safety.

What else can you expect from this blog?
Simply stated, interaction.  We feel at Suntatsic that relationships and connections are at the heart of what we do.  We pride ourselves on developing relationships with our clients which provides them a sense of security and the knowledge that there are companies out there that truly care about what they do and how they do it.

Additionally, we will be featuring stories about you.  Passing along content and ideas is one thing but there are many other stories to be told from our clients.  Some posts may be just a picture and others may include a story.  

We want to thank those of you who have supported our efforts.  We have been working on Suntastic Swim School for over two years and saw a need to bring a swim experience to people who were looking for that extra touch-that little extra personal touch that cannot be half-heartedly replicated.

As the snow melts, and temperature begins to warm, we looking forward to getting out to your pool and providing you with outstanding swim instruction and event management.

Check back often.  Leave feedback or a comment.  We value your thoughts and are looking to improve-daily!
