Hi, Im Coach Aaron its great to meet you! Im a former competitive swimmer who has been teaching swim lessons and coaching since I was 16. It was my very first job, and Ive been passionate about it ever since. I have worked personally with swimmers of all ages and ability levels. Although I expanded my work to include competitive swim coaching and strength and conditioning, I never stopped doing what I first loved: private lessons. I deliver results by using my experience with swimmers of all ages and abilities to guide students through discovery, problem-solving, and skill development. My goal is to make sure each swimmer becomes fundamentally sound and more importantly, falls in love with the process and everything swimming has to offer.
