Hi, Im Grayson, and I enjoy teaching swimming because I can share a skill that has had a tremendous impact on my life. This is a necessary skill to have for safety when growing up near the ocean and with access to a pool. Learning this skill as a child allows more opportunities to have fun with family and friends, teaches them a lifelong skill that will keep them safe around water, and helps them develop control of their mind and body from an early age. I have experience working with students of all skill levels for ages 2 and up, including those on the autism spectrum.
