I have been a competitive swimmer from the time I was 8 through my freshman year of college. I coached my summer league neighborhood team for two summers in high school with kids ranging from age 4 to 16. During this time and up to a two years ago I was teaching private lessons to any age range but mainly 4-8 year olds. I do have experience with teaching adults to swim as well. More recently I have worked with an adult client to help improve their swimming skills for a triathlon.

I swam for Dads Club swim team from the time I was 10 until I graduate from high school. I also swam for Memorial Highschool during my time there. I qualified for regional championships and would go on to qualify for conference on a collegiate level my freshman year of college.

The content of a session will vary from client to client. I have worked with clients that have a great fear of water and in their cases we take things much slower than I would with a client that has experience with swimming. Lessens can range from simply getting comfortable submerging the face in water or teaching a toddler how to float on their back to working on efficient stroke technique. The first lesson with any client will be used to asses their skills and talk about their goals with swimming. From that point we can talk about the best approach for their lessons. If its just that mom and dad want piece of mind that their child can be safe in the water then great! Lets work on getting them pool ready. If you are more interested in perfecting your stroke and becoming a more efficient swimmer then we can tackle that too!
