I love to swim and it’s a huge part of my life! I swim on the high school swim team for Washington, and I have been swimming on PAWW since I was eight. I like to teach 3–12-year-olds with any kind of skill level. I think being able to swim is an amazing life skill, so that’s one of the many reasons why I love to teach lessons! Another reason I love teaching lessons is getting to share something with kids that I love and am passionate about. I’m also never bored when working with children, and they are always coming up with amazing new ideas and perspectives. As an instructor, I think it’s important to be patient and empathetic when teaching. I would love to get the opportunity to teach and get to know your child!

I am super passionate about swimming as a valuable life skill and also as a sport, and I’ve swam for 7 years now, on summer teams, PAWW, and for the Washington high school team. Outside of swim, I love 2D and 3D arts, playing the trombone, and spending time with family and friends. My favorite thing about teaching is seeing the kids get excited when they do something that didn’t think they could or get over their fears. When it comes to teaching, I feel like building trust and connections with the kids is really important when it comes to being able to communicate and encourage them to do their best.

I’m available Monday Wednesday Friday after 4, and most weekends. I’d love the opportunity to teach your child!!

I love to swim and I believe it is a very important skill to have. I have been swimming for about 5 years now on my swim team. I love to work with kids ages 3-9, my favorite part about teaching lessons are the connections and growth that I get to see with the children. I chose to teach lessons because I feel as if this can both be a fun time in a pool and a lifesaving skill to know. One fun fact about me is that I have an identical twin brother! I do believe that swimming is important in so many ways. I would love to be able to teach your child!!
