Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Generally I try and get the student comfortable in the water with different exercises, focusing on water safety. Then when I'm positive the student is ready, I focus on strokes and competitive swimming.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have competed in swimming for four years in High School and in a private club. I have been a lifeguard for five years where I have been trained in teaching lessons as well as water safety, first aid, CPR etc. I have coached a metro team for two years so I work very well with children!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $30 per hour. I would recommend at least four hours a week but of course it is up to the student and the pace they would like to learn at.
How did you get started teaching?
I was a lifeguard at West Mesa Aquatic Center and went through their teaching program where I learned the most effective ways to teach. Before that I was a swimmer so I'm familiar with the technique and it is a passion of mine.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all ages from 3 to 18 as well as adults. I have dealt with autistic students and those with ADHD.
