Hi everyone, I am a compassionate and knowledgeable swim teacher who has experience teaching all ages and difficulty levels. I love to cater the lessons to each individual's needs and learning styles, whether it's for anxious beginners, athletes who want to perfect their form for speed or efficiency, or people who just need to learn enough to safely play or enjoy recreational activities on or around the water. In my personal life, I am a former swim team member who still loves the water in the forms of surfing, kayaking, and scuba diving. One of my goals as an instructor is to help my students develop their own relationships with the water and to find the joy and fun in it that I did. I am looking forward to working with you!
