Miss Maya's Swim Lessons

It is my priority to build trust between my students (and their parents for minors). I work hard to cultivate comfortable, professional relationships so that my students can challenge themselves in a safe environment. During my initial lesson, I run my students through basic swim skills -- water safety practices, class rules, breath holding, eyes in water, floats, kicks -- to assess their skill levels and individual learning needs. From there, I can develop individual lesson plans. 

I have current CPR/AED/First Aid and Water Safety Instructor certificates. I have had both of these trainings multiple times and I feel confident in my ability to keep people safe in and around water. My extensive experience lifeguarding, teaching, and training to become a swim instructor and lifeguard, qualifies me to offer exemplary swim lessons. 

Initial lesson: $10/half-hour, $30/hour

Private lessons: $30/half-hour, $60/hour

I offer discounts to families wanting multiple kids to learn: $20/half-hour, $40/hour

Parent-Tot lessons (6 month old-2 years old): $15/half-hour

I started teaching as a part-time job to save money and pay for college. I decided to pursue teaching because of my lifelong passion for swimming and my 15+ years swim team experience. I have worked at several private swim schools and now use my own knowledge and expertise to help my students succeed. 

I have worked with students across all walks of life and all different levels of physical, emotional, mental, and learning abilities. I am particularly experienced with people who have ADD/ADHD and intense fears of the water. My age range of students: 6 weeks old to 80+ years old. 

I would tell a student to find a teacher who they can connect with and relate to -- there's nothing harder than trying to challenge yourself when you don't feel supported by your teacher!
