Hi, I'm Lizzy! My love for the water started as a competitive swimmer. Over the years, that passion grew into a career in aquatics from lifeguarding at country clubs, Walt Disney World resorts, and water parks to coaching age-group swimmers (614) as a USA Swimming certified team coach. Today, I focus on private, one-on-one swim instruction for children of all ages. Safety is always my number one priority but making sure your child has fun is a very close second. I use games and creative activities to turn every lesson into an adventure. When kids are laughing and engaged, confidence in the water follows naturally. I can't wait to meet your little swimmer!
