You might ask why we have a photo of a cute, cuddly, wet dog in our front office? You'll recognize this photo if you follow us on social media. Although we used the photo as an April Fool's joke, there is a real story behind the image.
In 2016, this friendly pup followed one of our families to swim class at our Sharpstown location. He was really ready to swim! Before we knew it, he had jumped into the water! You can imagine how excited our students were...although his "swim class" was short lived; our staff quickly brought him out of the water and dried him off in the front office.
The story has a happy ending. We posted flyers around the neighborhood and found the owners!
And that's the story of the wet puppy photo.
From the very first day I could tell my daughter felt so comfortable and I knew she was in good hands...
