About

With over 20 years of experience as a swim coach, instructor, and former NCAA Division I athlete, I specialize in teaching adults and older youth (ages 8+) how to swim with confidence, efficiency, and purpose. My background includes competitive swimming from middle school through college, classroom teaching, and years of coaching individuals preparing for military swim tests, lifeguard certification, public safety roles, and SCUBA diving.

I focus on working with serious swimmers—those who are committed to learning and showing up. Whether you’re starting from scratch, overcoming fear of the water, refining your technique for lap swimming, or training for a fitness goal or career requirement, I tailor each session to help you progress efficiently and confidently.

Most of my clients are adults—some have never learned to swim, others are returning to the water after years away, and many are preparing for high-stakes assessments. I bring a calm, structured, and encouraging approach that gets results without wasting your time.

I do occasionally work with children ages 8 and up, but my focus is on clients who are ready to put in the effort and take their water skills seriously.

    I've worked with students ages 3 to 70. I've worked at the YMCA, Kidsfirst, Goldfish, and other places that provide lessons. In my experience and opinion, if you want to learn quickly, private lessons -2 to 3 lessons per week- are the way to go.

    Are you looking to learn to swim, or to get better with your swimming skills?

    Are you comfortable in the water?

    Are you afraid/anxious when putting your face/head underwater?
