I recently graduated with a degree in Elementary Education from ISU and currently teach in Peoria. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to teach swim lessons at Five Points. I’ve been fortunate to work with an endless amount of terrific children and families. I swam competitively since the age of six for several local swim teams. I was an assistant coach for the Water Warriors and Metamora Area Swim Team. I’ve volunteered for HISRA’s Special Olympic Swim Team, I’ve taught at several facilities where I have worked with all ages and all skill levels! I have a lot of incredible experience working with children with special needs and view swimming as an essential skill to have for all learners. I am still just as much a student as I am a teacher in the water. I am constantly learning new ways to help others feel safe in the pool.

I believe being a strong swimmer is one of the most important skills to learn at some point in a person’s life. I learned to swim at a young age, and quickly learned that it is a fun activity and a great way to exercise. I work well with kids and adults of all ages and I hope to get to know you and/or your child so swim lessons can be comfortable and fun!

I have always loved swimming, and think it is a very important and useful skill to learn. I am able to teach beginner to early intermediate swimmers. I am also able to teach children with special needs. Growing up I played many sports so I understand the time, dedication, and patience it takes to learn new skills like swimming. I would love the opportunity to teach your kids all the wonders of swimming.

Swimming is something I love to do, and I want to share that love with others. I have been swimming for my high school swim team for about 2 years now. I love working with kids ages 2.5-8 and I want to have the opportunity to put a smile on their faces when they are in the water learning or pick up on a new skill. Kids make my day brighter and I hope to make their day just as bright was well. I am very patient and understanding with children and I feel that is very important when teaching. I want the best for your child when it comes to learning. I would love the opportunity to teach your child!
