Special Needs Swimming Lessons San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Benton and I have been teaching ages 2 to adults how to swim. My passion for working with kids started when I taught swimming at a summer camp. I also founded a speech and debate program that taught kids 10-14 at my old middle school. My mom was a natural swimmer and swam for her high school team. Since then, she has also been a natural teacher in making sure I learned how to swim safely and well from a young age. I love to have fun while seeing kids succeed.
