My passion for swimming has expanded my teaching career to include water safety. My specialty is infants from 6 months to 3 years old. I focus on 3 components of swimming: breath control, floating on the back, and entering the water face first, then rolling over to the back and staying in a float position. Building rapport and trust is crucial to their success. As a grandmother, I have many years of experience working with children and the ability to recognize their strengths and go from there. I look forward to sharing in your childs swimming experience, beginning with water safety.
