Hey! I absolutely love swimming! Safety is my number one priority, but I still like to make it fun and enjoyable for all ages! Ive worked with kids as young as 3 months and many adults. I have a lot of experience working with individuals with fear and distrust of the water. In the past Ive made and taught specialized lesson plans for individuals with disabilities. My goal is to make sure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the water and to learn about the wonderful benefits of swimming!

Id be in the pool all the time if I could and felt that way since I was 5. The love of water turned to speed and afforded the ability to train with olympians and world record holders, earning myself a place alongside those exceptional athletes in the finals of the 2004 Olympic trials. Since then I appreciated the opportunity to develop swim lesson programs for an early childhood center/community center, but I feel a greater sense of accomplishment when I teach, having taught ages 3 to 72 and assistant coached a team of 250+ swimmers in middle and high school. I feel lessons are most effective when we can create a comfortable environment to encourage openness to learning, and use my experience to tailor lessons to each individual.
