Hello! My name is Zachariah Leary-Bignayan, but you can call me Zach. I have been swimming for about 11 years, and I have been coaching on and off during that time. Most of my swimming experience comes from firsthand knowledge. Additionally, my coaching and learning style involve visual demonstrations. For example, I start off on the deck and then get into the pool with the swimmer. I encourage the swimmer to continuously ask questions to better understand their performance and how to improve upon it. Before we start our lessons, I would like to know the swimmer's goals they would like to accomplish during our time together. View my personal progress: https://www.swimcloud.com/swimmer/811186/
