About your swimming coach
I have 14 years of swim training experience and a strong passion for helping others feel confident and capable in the water. I focus on stroke technique, water safety, and endurance while working with swimmers of all ages and skill levels. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and tailored to each individual. My goal is to create a safe, positive environment where students can build skills, gain confidence, and enjoy swimming.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first private will vary with difficulty depending on age. But to sum it up it would look a little something like:
1: introduced and Safety chat (I want to make sure we’re comfortable with each other before getting started)
2:Water Comfort Assessment (Just a real quick assessment to see where your at and so I can know where exactly to start with you)
3:Staying Afloat Skills (Depending on skill level)
4: Kicking and Movement Techniques
5:Fun Challenge and Review
In summary, for the first one I’ll aim for 25% assessment, 50% Skill Practice, and 25% fun, confidence building. To me, a successful first lesson isn’t “learning freestyle”. It’s having the swimmer leave feeling safe, successful, and excited to come back.
Lesson 2-3Session 2 Goal: Water confidence & Basic Propulsion
1:Warm-up 2:Body Positioning 3:kicking 4:introduction to freestyle 5:fun challenge/game
Success marker:Comfortable moving independently for short distances and confidence to stay afloat.
Session 3 Goal: Put together beginner freestyle and basic backstroke
1:Warm-up 2:freestyle progression 3:backstroke basics 4:endurance & confidence 5:review and goal setting
Lesson 4-10For lessons 4-10, think less about exact lesson plans and more about progressive milestones. I’ll adjust based on how quickly the swimmer learns. Here are some basic goals for the lessons.
4: Swimmer can move independently using basic freestyle (not long distances)
5:Swimmer can swim longer distances with fewer interruptions.
6: Backstroke development so swimmer has two ways to travel through the water
7: Increased safety and independence in the water
8: Endurance, swimmer can sustain swimming for longer periods
9:confidence in treading
10: Review and Assess
Lesson 11+Lessons 11+ will differ with the swimmers progression.
If they’re still struggling, I’ll continue building their abilities and skills with breathing, endurance, techniques, treading, deep water confidence, and water safety skills.
If they’re swimming independently and confidently, I’ll focus on better body positioning, efficient kicking, freestyle and backstroke timing, streamline push-offs, and wall turns.

Youth players
Working with kidsThe biggest adjustment with kids is the attention span and motivation matter as much as swimming skills.
Main goals: water comfort, safety, listening skills, and having fun!
What works: Games, imagination, lots of praise, and short activities.
Working with teenagersWhile I work with teenagers I try to make them feel like I treat them more of an adult rather than a children. So instead of playing games I work more on improving efficiency, speed, and strength depending on their needs. A big things is goal setting with a chance of a reward. I’ll occasionally(with parent’s approval) offer rewards (ex- a gift card or new swim goggles) if they are able to reach a goal they’ve been working really hard on.
What you need to bringAny equipment they have, but especially goggles.
What I can bringI have fins size 7, and extra swim caps.
