My daughters love their swimming lessons with Emily. They have fun and have improved significantly, thank you!

About Emily A.

I've been teaching swim lessons for almost 10 years, both privately and for public classes. I love being in the water and helping someone reach their goals. I've taught infant classes, with and without parents being in the water, the swim to survive program, as well as modified lessons for rehabilitation/injuries or learning to overcome a fear.

Teaching philosophy

I meet each swimmer where they're at and go at a pace that feels safe and comfortable. I teach with patience, empathy, and clear simple guidance, tailoring each session to your pace and goals. I believe in creating a positive environment where you feel supported as you learn and improve. Swimming should be fun!
