Since I was a small child I loved swimming like a mermaid in the water. I wanted one day to share my passion and love for the water with others. Growing up, my family were members of a swim club, where I learned how to swim. I swam on the AAU swim team from grammar school age until the end of middle school. I taught swim lessons for 6 years which was a lot of fun, especially being there to witness how much confidence it gives children.
