Having done synchronized swimming and water polo, my relationship with the water is one of understanding and cooperation. I played at San Diego State University and competed as an adult. I coached high school polo for 16 years, so I have been coaching since February 2009 and have worked with students 7 months and up. I specialize in establishing a working relationship with the water. My approach is focused on common-sense survival. Being comfortable and at ease ensures water success. I work specifically with clients who have experienced trauma, causing fear and anxiety. First-time swimmers, who have not had the privilege of swim lessons, find success with me. I work with those who have disabilities, ASD, are non-verbal, and those who are fearful. Please feel free to have a conversation about desires and expectations.
