I typically suggest at least 8 - 14 lessons to become pool safer. Depending on your goals, the individual person, etc. it might take more or less lessons to get pool safer and reach your specific goals.

I teach from 12 months to adults.

Yes. If you want a private lesson for each of your kids, or if you have multiple families using your pool you can purchase a private lesson and split that time between each kid. Each kid needs a minimum of 15 minutes of instruction in the water during each lesson.

I provide everything for lessons except for goggles, a towel, and clothes/diapers that need to be worn in the water.

I currently offer lessons 7 days a week!

I can typically start lessons as early as 9:00 am and can go as late as 8:00 pm. If nothing on my schedule works for your availability, please contact me and I will see if I can accommodate your scheduling needs.

You can book directly on my website under the "Book Online" tab.

I offer lessons that vary in length from as short as 15 minutes to as long as 90 minutes. Go to my bookings page using the "Book Online" tab to select whatever works best for you and your needs!

I offer both private and semi-private lessons. I also offer mommy and me lessons for both the parent and child.

I offer lessons for beginner, intermediate and advanced swimmers. Click on my “Programs'' tab to read more about each type of service to decide which one best fits your needs. Please contact me if you need a consultation on which skill level to select.

Yes, I encourage any parents or guardians who want to watch the lessons to feel free to do so!

No prerequisites are required! If the student has no prior swim experience, I recommend booking a beginner course.

Depending on the type of special need I can. Please reach out to me before scheduling if you are booking for a student with special needs to confirm accommodations can be met and to discuss any arrangements that need to be made.

I ask that you cancel up to 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment time to avoid being charged. I do not charge for cancellations that are due to illness or inclement weather.

There are several solutions. You could use a friend or relatives pool, or I have access to a couple pools we can use. We can also use Swimply.

If it is thundering, lightening, or other extreme weather that is unsafe to be in the pool we cancel lessons. I do not charge for lessons that get cancelled in advance due to inclement weather. If it is light rain, we will not cancel lessons.

Patience. Every student has the ability to swim. Some require a slower experience when learning to swim in the water. Sometimes we will take breaks from putting our head under. Sometimes we will take a slower approach and get the student comfortable putting each part of their face under the water. This can help those who are more apprehensive towards the water. We can also accommodate meet and greets if students are not comfortable with strangers.

The first swim class will depend on what experience the student brings to the class. For beginners, I expect that they will put their face under 3 times, do monkey crawls, float on back (assisted), swim on the belly with two noodles, and do the pancake song (flipping from back to belly). We will teach bubbles once the student is comfortable putting their face in the water. It typically takes students 3 classes to get acclimated and really take off on their swimming journey. Students with some experience will start with a warm up and then go into stroke practice.

For students who are beginning their swimming journey, the big thing I am looking for is that they willingly putting their face in the water. Once a student is putting their face in the water by themselves, then they can start swimming on their own for short distances. Here we will combine skills and start flipping on the back after swimming a few feet. Once a student is more comfortable with flipping, we can introduce backstroke. Once they are comfortable with both, we will introduce breast stroke. The last stroke we introduce is butterfly. Once a student can flip on their back on their own, then I will teach them side breathing. Aside from communication and being able to comfortably meet certain milestones, there's body language and other cues I look for when deciding if a student is willing to take the next step.

I am located in Richardson, TX and I travel all over the DFW area for the convenience of my clients! I prefer to not travel more than 35 miles outside of Richardson.

Yes, I take swim safety very seriously and that includes having an up-to-date CPR certification!
