Callen started lessons at just over a year old. In knowing that he had developed a mild case of stranger anxiety, his mom Kellye asked us if we would do 5 lessons per week to help get him used to us and hopefully over this obstacle. Coach Suzie and her husband Coach Cesar were also teaching his older brother and sister at the time which helped Callen get used to them, however it wasn't without tears and screams. Callen was quite combative, very stubborn and above all else filled with anxiety about the lessons. He loved the water but really didn't want to like or trust us. However after a few weeks of playing, watching his siblings have a blast during lessons and finally accepting that he could enjoy himself, Callen fell in love not only with the lessons but also Coach Suzie (so much so that he would be jealous of Coach Cesar anytime he would come close haha).
Callen loved his time at the pool and started to "join in" with the swim squad practices while his siblings swam, becoming Coach Suzie's mini me. Overtime Callen grew his skills and was able to become a part of the swim squad this year, joining his siblings and other awesome swimmers who enjoy swimming as much as he does!
We are so proud to have Callen in our team and love when we get the opportunity to be a staple part in our swimmers lives like we have with him!
