Swim East – Making the water a safer place. We have sung the praises of Swim East and Swim West for years, and are continuing to do so. Only a few years into swimming, the eldest of our kids can be found doing backstroke the length of the pool. And we’ve seen the magic first hand that turns a child that transforms from hating the water to laughing and giggling all throughout class. With so many places to swim in and around Madison, having a child who is safe around water is a must. And we find the warm pool added fun in winter!
