Hi, my name is David Skehan. I have been teaching swimming on and off since February 1986. I have taught at least 50 people over the course of my life. My last few students were autistic individuals in their 20s. I am retired, so my time is flexible. I love teaching. I have taught during my career in military police school, automotive mechanics, and lastly, autistic children. I meet each student where they are so that I can help them overcome any fear they feel towards the training we are going to tackle.

I have two grown children and a 5-year-old granddaughter. I was in healthcare for 23 years and now am a full-time rideshare driver, so I have more flexibility to teach my students. I love the water and am one of the few in my family who learned to swim. I have taught all the children in my family and would love to help your family reach their swim goals! Thank you, and I look forward to working with y'all.
