Rita was amazing! An excellent instructor with years of experience and it shows! Our kids were so comfortable with her. I hired her for private lessons for my 3 and 6 year old boys. Both who were very afraid of the water. Upon our first conversation she was informative and responsive. She arrived early to our first lesson and came equipped with toys and swim stuff which made my boys more comfortable immediately. Shes very patient with the kids, even through the crying, fussing, and fear she not only taught them but comforted them through these moments.
After our first set of lessons, my boys are no longer afraid of the water. My 6 year old is mastering his freestyle arms and my 3 year old can float on his back, return to the wall, jumps in unafraid. Its amazing to see the growth in such a short time. I will be signing up again to further my childrens skills.
Im so glad I found Rita, overall a great warm hearted caring matured woman, who is highly skilled, patient, honest, on-time, and dependable. I usually wouldnt take the time to write a review but I wouldve loved to have a more in depth reviews to read prior to booking our first session. Her reviews didnt do her enough justice. A trustworthy instructor who I have recommended to all my friends and family. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MS RITA!!!

I did not have a positive experience with Rita. Rita Bourne insisted that I pay for all 6 classes at the end of my first class with her in cash. I paid via Zelle. She hasn’t returned my call, nor has she responded to my messages to schedule my last two sessions with her. Basically she showed up for 4 sessions and disappeared. I’ve requested a refund from her for the last two classes. No answer from her.

Rita is an excellent teacher and a mentor. I remember my first day full of anxiety and fear. She guided me through my fear and changed it to my strength. Now I just love water and have learned so many techniques in less than 6 lessons and being 27 was really hard for me to get that flexibility and strength which I have now. I cant believe how much I enjoy swimming now all thanks to Rita. I would miss you.

Rita was an excellent teacher and a friend. She changed my view of fear from water to something that I enjoy now and gained strength as well. I really love her teaching style and the techniques I learned makes me feel like a professional now. All I can say is practise and practise and practise.

Frequently asked questions

 As a Swim instructor making an introduction to the new student is most important, it creates trust and calms the child so that their introduction to their swim lesson be a success. 

American Red Cross trained and certified as a Water Safety Instructor, CPR. As a WSI, I teach all levels of swimming from Parent & Child, School Age children, Adults and Private instructions, including swim skills techniques.

I was a competitive swimmer in college and after years of teaching I was motivated to share my abilities with others and underserved communities.

I have worked with Parents & Tots, School Age children, Adults, Private instruction, and Coaching after school Swim Team.

The Olympic Swimming trials always captures my attention.

I would tell my students ,"Just Have Fun" and enjoy the water and experience. Once they become comfortable the fear will change to confidence.

Swimming is a commitment , so students have to be dedicated to the learning from start to finish and they would be successful.
