Rachael Swimming Lessons
About
I have been competitively swimming for 13 years. I spent about 7 of those years competing in USA swimming. I got the opportunity to compete in ZONE championships during my pre-teen years. I swam for my high school an currently swim for Ursuline college. My favorite strokes are butterfly, breaststroke, and freestyle. I like to swim sprint events as well as longer distance events. I do hold a few records at both schools. I have experience teaching lessons in a small group and one-on-one lessons. I know how to explain swimming in order for others to understand it.
Swimming is such an important skill to know, even if you don't plan to do it competitively. I remember being in swimming lessons and being afraid to put my face in the water. Swimming has become such an important part of my life and I love how far I've gone with it. I have watched all my hard work pay off after all these years and it is been nothing but exciting. Getting to see that same excitement with others is so gratifying.

Frequently asked questions
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I spent a year teaching at Goldfish swim school. Through them I learned how to take the most complex parts of swimming and break them down into simple steps to learn them slowly.
How did you get started teaching?
I've been in the water since I was a baby so swimming has always been an important part of my life. Watching my success pay off has not only been exciting to me, but to my coaches as well. I like to see those small successes through other people, there is not better feeling than mastering something.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with students ages 2-12. I've taught 30 minutes one-on-one lessons to a group of four children at once.
