I have been an avid swimmer and swim instructor for nine years. For the past 5 years, I've taught private swim lessons. I've worked for swim academies, teaching children as young as 6 months, water safety skills, and swim strokes, but I prefer the private setting as each child has their own needs and fears that need to be overcome. Unfortunately, you can't always get that in a group setting. My goal is to make your child excited about entering the water, and water safe, should an accident occur.
