This is my 12th year being a swim instructor at Five Points. Each year I have the opportunity to work with countless swimmers, of all ages and ability levels, feel safe and confident in the pool.

I have been swimming competitively for the past 9 years of my life. I think swimming is a very important skill that every child should have the opportunity to learn. I love working with children of all ages. I especially love introducing little ones to the water and helping them grow in their confidence with swimming. I am currently a Freshman at Washington Community High School and was able to compete on their swim team this past fall. This experience has taught me how to teach better and instill proper technique. I have several young siblings and have experience working with all of them in and out of the water. I would love to have 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!!

I am a certified lifeguard, and I love being in the water and helping people learn how to swim. I took swim lessons at Five Points myself when I was younger, and I did summer swim team as a kid.

I believe that it's important to work hard and put forth your best effort when learning and teaching new skills. I’m available and excited to teach beginners and intermediate swimmers of all ages.

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!
