Paul C

Bradenton, Florida 34211

I was born and raised in Somerset, New Jersey, and recently moved to Florida. At the age of 6, I got my start in competitive swimming when my parents signed me up for our summer league swim team. This led to joining my local Y swim team, then high school and college swimming. I have worked with students ages 1 and up, including adults. I use the problem-posing method of teaching, which incorporates questions, verbal instructions, and demonstrations. Ex: If your hips are sinking, what can you do to make them pop up to the surface? Press head & back.
