How I can help Beginners?

If you love water and want to learn swimming, I can help you with all basics with a step by step approach. We start with introduction, water safety and survival , relaxation and floating, breathing, submerging to learn all the 4 basic strokes. I have a set of games and drills depending on age to make the lesson fun and productive. I understand the fear of water and work patiently with step by step approach to make water and swimming fun again.
Why does my child have to learn to float before they start “swim” lessons?

The back float is the ultimate survival skill. A child floating on their back is able to breathe and cry for help. As students advance, this skill is also necessary. If they get tired while swimming, they will know to roll over to rest and catch their breath. Swimming in open bodies of water that do not have a “side” to get to, is the best way to ensure safety. I always teach my swimmers to be fully swim safe in our survival lessons before they can even move on to the swimming lessons!
My child is scared of water. How do we introduce water?

I have taught very young kids and I am trained for managing this. The classes are planned to help all children acclimate to and be comfortable in the water before I work on developing their skills in a playful manner while having fun. We work really hard in the lessons to be sure that any fears a student has turns into confidence in the water.
How I can help Intermediate?

If you can swim a pool length without stopping in between, and know the basics of all 4 strokes and are looking to improve your technique to build speed and stamina, I can help you with that goal. I also focus on breathing fundamentals to improve stroke rhythm using your body length effectively in water to improve efficiency and make breathing and greater speed easier. Stand dives, more detailed breaststroke, butterfly, stamina/speed training, flip turns, open turns, breathing patterns.
