Lesson Information
What to Expect
I offer swim lessons for individuals of all ages, starting from infants as young as 6 months old to adults.
My lessons are tailored to the specific needs and abilities of each age group, so the content may vary, but my core approach emphasizes building water confidence and mastering essential swimming skills. I maintain a safe and supportive environment throughout each lesson, ensuring that every student feels secure and motivated to learn and grow in their swimming journey.

Lessons typically range from 30 to 60 minutes. The length of the lesson will vary based on the age and skill level of the swimmer, as well as individual preferences. I offer flexibility in lesson durations to cater to my students' needs, ensuring a comfortable and effective learning experience.
I am very flexible on location to make lessons convenient for you. I’m happy to come to any home or local pool within my teaching area. There are also a few public pools I can suggest if that would be helpful.
I also offer group lessons for up to four students who are at or around the same skill level. Please contact me to discuss.
Assessing Your Skills
Prior to our lesson, we will schedule an initial phone call. This crucial conversation is an opportunity for both you and me to get to know each other, discuss your swimming goals, and assess your (or your child’s) current skill level. This call is the foundation upon which your swim lessons will be built. It's a chance for me to understand your (or your child’s) unique needs, goals, and preferences, and for you to gauge my approach, experience, and teaching style. You can read more about what to expect from this initial phone call here.
