Hello there! My name is Nicole. I've been swimming competitively since I was 5 years old and have been teaching for the past 6 years.
I have taught and instructed a wide range of skills and ages from beginner groups of 3-5 y/o, 6-10 y/o, 11-13 y/o to technique and consistency with adult groups. As a teacher, I strive to make every lesson unique and fun for all ages. One of my favorite things about teaching is seeing the confidence build in students as they become more comfortable in the water.
