"Eat your veggies, then you can go to swim lessons!"
I love making swim lessons so much fun that it is a REWARD for eating veggies, cleaning a room or finishing homework!
As your child's instructor, I will make every learning activity a game! Your child will be having so much fun they won't even notice they are learning to swim!
I taught swim lessons at the YMCA and FOSS Swim school. In my spare time I love to bike, jump in the lake, play volleyball or read a good book.
