About
Hello! My name is Tamela. I teach lower level through advanced swimming lessons beginning with overcoming fear of water. Swimming lessons is a passion of mine to a health standpoint. Swimming is beneficial to people with arthritis, those who are overweight and provides a great alternative for running. Age 3 + beyound can begin swimming lessons with Tamela. I am Life Gaurd Star Gaurd certified, CPR & AED certified. I travel to you or you can travel to me. I teach year round.
I enjoy seeing the progress that my students make lesson by lesson. My lessons are tailored to each student for the best results.
