I have been teaching since I graduated from university, and I really enjoy the teaching process. I have been teaching for 25 years. My students range from 10-month-old babies to 72-year-old adults, and I'm happy to see how much confidence they gain from my teaching. What makes me most happy is that my students have gone from being afraid to go into the pool to now being on the swim team.

My favorite memory of swimming is Diving under a huge wave with my siblings, surfacing to laughter and cheers! Breaststroke is my favorite swim stroke

I enjoy instructing here because SwimQwik has state-of-the-art teaching equipment, a fantastic team of instructors, and most of all visionary leadership.

My teaching approach focuses on creating a positive and encouraging environment where each swimmer feels safe and supported. I emphasize fundamental skills through fun, engaging activities, adapting my methods to each student's needs and learning style, and celebrating progress to build confidence and a love for swimming.
