Greetings all- Teaching and training is a passion of mine. I have been teaching for 30 years, all ages, levels, and abilities. When teaching kids, its about having fun while learning skills and teaching safety. With adults, its learning new motor skills while being safe. Continued practice after lessons is key to mastering skills. I am an American Red Cross Lifeguard, Lifeguard Instructor, and Instructor Trainer, which means I train the trainer along with holding the Water Safety Instructor and Instructor Trainer positions. I have coached swimming, taught water aerobics, and have run pool programs for various organizations. Before moving to Texas, I was promoting safety for the state of Florida, encouraging communities to take an active role in water safety among other topics.

Hi, Im Coach Todd! I have been coaching swimming since October 1998, as well as working with triathletes. I have coached young childrens swimming exclusively since October 2015. I have coached people as old as 70+ years and as young as four years old. I have seen a lot in my days, and that has helped me identify what people need when it comes to proper swimming technique! And make no mistake, technique is everything. Water is almost 800 times denser than air, so your every movement needs to be with the least resistance possible, and I can show you that! I look forward to helping you on your journey to become a swimmer or a better swimmer!
