HomeLearning to swim can be the most rewarding experiences of childhood & adulthood, as it offers many emotional, social & physical benefits. I travel to your homes to make it an easy, stressfree & personal experience. I bring all my equipment with me. What a better place than having your lesson at your convenience, on your schedule. (NB: If you do not have a pool please let me know)
Children:
With my positive teaching methods, a child-centered approach & a progressive pace, your child will share joy & gain trust that will be built ensuring a unique opportunity to develop their skills & techniques in the water.
I do not force or traumatize my fishes in order for them to learn how to swim. This only stresses them & is simply unnecessary.
Learning through songs, interactive games & group activities appeals to a child's sense of wonder & play. All this is complemented by colorful toys & other engaging aquatic aparatus.
As soon as your child is capable of moving independently, they are capable of getting into water and drowning. Therefore, swim lessons should begin as soon as possible. (Please read "Babies in the Water" for details.) Initially, they will not learn to swim per se. They will be learning: "roll over, float, wait for help". History shows that this response saves lives because it "buys time" for the parent/caregiver to realize that the child can float and wait. Tragedies occur when the child can't perform that skill. Once they have mastered this, then "real swimming" begins.
You may have some friends that want to join together as a Small group, or maybe you prefer semi -private & I of course offer private lessons . You can sign up for 6,8 or 12 sessions. See class options to decide which one suits you & your fish better & rates for more details.
Adult Swim 4 Fitness:
Regardless of ability level & experience, people of all ages can swim. As we age, it's important to consider adding low impact aerobic exercise to our physical fitness routine.
Water based exercise is an outstanding way to get (&/or stay) in shape, minus the aches & pains land based workout can cause. I customize the lesson to cater your learning progress & needs. They are tailored to suit you & achieve your ultimate goal.
If you like the idea of "lap training" I will analyze your stroke or if you prefer having a water aerobic style lesson (to or not to music) I offer that too. Both of these are fun & have a modern approach.
Private & semi-private lessons available.
Other Information:
Gift certicates are now available. What a perfect present to give to a family member or friend. Or even give to a work colleague.
