I am a passionate instructor and lifeguard with exceptional experience teaching; beginner tots, swimmers with developmental disabilities thru to adult beginners, advanced stroke revision as well as parent and tot settings. During our first lesson together we will assess your skill set and develop a plan to meet your swimming goals! Your personal plan will help to track and motivate each swimmer to help build a fun and inspiring experience that fosters love for the water and personal success! A bit about me!
