Meet Traci
Your Expert Lifeguard & Swim Instructor
Hi, I'm Traci, the founder of Swimmingly.
I am a former lifeguard and swim instructor with the American Red Cross, with over 20 years of experience teaching swim. My passion for swimming and unwavering commitment to water safety have driven my journey in teaching individuals of all ages, from the tiniest water enthusiasts at just six months of age to seasoned adults looking to improve their skills.
A Specialization in Special Needs Instruction
My true calling lies in special needs instruction. I have extensive experience working with individuals who may be fearful beginners, have sensory processing issues, or are differently abled. As a mother of five, including two special needs children, I intimately understand how transformative and life-enhancing swimming can be. It's not just about mastering strokes; it's about enhancing the quality of life.
A Safe and Enjoyable Learning Environment
My teaching philosophy revolves around fostering a genuine love for swimming while prioritizing safety. I'm committed to creating a secure, supportive, and enjoyable learning environment where every student can thrive. Whether you're embarking on your first strokes or looking to refine your swimming technique, I'm here to work with you to achieve your goals.
When you choose to learn from me, you're not just getting an experienced instructor; you're gaining a mentor who is passionate about instilling confidence and a lifelong love for the water. I'm here to guide you through the waters, one stroke at a time, ensuring you have the skills and knowledge to enjoy swimming to the fullest.
