Hi, my name is Lexie. I started swimming at the age of four and eventually began coaching a youth swim team consisting of children age 4-17. Over the last five years I have worked individually with swimmers from 6 months to adulthood. Once swimmers are comfortable and safe in the water, I work on swimming to the bottom and back up, swimming longer distances, and eventually the foundations of the four strokes.I look forward to helping your child achieve their goals!
