Swimming Lessons
About
I have trained under an Olympian and I have taught children raging from 4 years old to 15. My lessons are based more on their techniques than recreation.
I was working as a swim coach for 2 years at Calphin Aquatics Club in California. I started as a lower level coach and then made my way to upper level and then to a Supervisor.
I have recieved awards for The Rising Deck SUpervisor of the year 2016.
