I am a retired public school teacher and administrator with many years of experience in and on the water. Sailing, kayak surfing, and snorkeling are water activities that I enjoy in my free time. I was a lifeguard and swimming instructor in college and have taught hundreds of children and dozens of adults to swim. I have also taught children and adults a variety of other water sports, including water skiing, sailing, bodyboarding, sea kayaking, and rowing. My many years of time on the water, experience as a swimming instructor, and years as a teacher have given me the skills to be an excellent swimming instructor.

I have been an avid swimmer and swim instructor for nine years. For the past 5 years, I've taught private swim lessons. I've worked for swim academies, teaching children as young as 6 months, water safety skills, and swim strokes, but I prefer the private setting as each child has their own needs and fears that need to be overcome. Unfortunately, you can't always get that in a group setting. My goal is to make your child excited about entering the water, and water safe, should an accident occur.
