About
Swimming is one of the most important skills to learn at any age. It is my goal to teach those skills. I have been swimming since I was 6 years old. I was on the local swim team and swam in high school. I started out as assisting swim lessons at the age of 12 and then became a certified Water Safety Instructor at the age of 16. I have been teaching children and adults of all ages for 8 years now.
It gives me joy when students gain the skill I have taught
