Introduction: I have over 40 years of experience teaching Swimming, so you can learn to swim smarter not harder! I love to see my students beaming with pride and confidence as they learn new skills and reach their goals! **I also teach the course (WSI) that certifies people in HOW to teach swimming themselves. I would love to help you overcome fears of water, learn basic swimming strokes or prepare you for Competitive Swim teams, Junior Lifeguard try outs, Lifeguarding, Water Polo teams, Triathlons, Military qualification tests, WSI certification courses, and much more. I have 6 years of experience coaching CIF level High School Swim teams, as well as 3 years with Special Olympics swim teams. I specialize in working with nervous swimmers. I also love teaching parent-child classes and teaching developmentally or physically challenged individuals.

Lisa is amazing! I came to the first lesson knowing nothing about swim styles but dreaming of performing in a sprint triathlon. To this day, we've had about 12 lessons in 6 months, and I can now swim a kilometer without stopping, which is incredible! Thanks to our sessions, I've been able to start training in open water, which previously seemed scary and impossible to me. Now I feel confident. What pleasantly surprised me from the very beginning is that Lisa showed me basic skills right in the pool, being right next to me in the water. In every lesson, I feel that all attention and efforts are focused on the session. Lisa is very focused on the process and the outcome, and I really appreciate that. We continue our work, refining techniques. Lisa vividly explains how to make the stroke more efficient, enabling me to swim faster and not get tired. I especially like that Lisa knows many interesting exercises to improve coordination and all parts of the body - I never get bored. So, if anyone asks me for a swim coach, I would 100 percent recommend Lisa. I'm happy working with such a professional coach and warm person!

Coach Lisa made such a difference in the skills of my swimmer! In the years my daughter worked with Lisa, she went from an apprehensive novice to a confident competitor. My daughter achieved the goals she set for herself, and Lisa gently encouraged her to move to the goal beyond her comfort zone -- and from there, to the next goal. My daughter always looked forward to working with Lisa; even if she was sometimes reluctant to swim during the colder months of the year, seeing Lisa was always more important than staying home. Thanks to Lisa's instruction and encouragement, my daughter has recently become a lifeguard, a goal she would not have pursued without the skills she has learned from Lisa.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have Private rates, Semi-private, Small group and Group rates. I also offer discounts for packages of 8 lessons booked and paid for up front .
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I will talk to them and get to know their goals. Then at the first lesson, we will go through some skill evaluation so I know where we are starting from. At the end of the first lesson, together, will decide which skills they want to work on the most. I will use all of my experience and my entire "tool box" of progressive teaching methods, to improve their chaotic and nervous body movements into fluid and efficient stroke so that they are swimming with confidence and ease. We will work together as a team, until they reach the goals that they have set for themselves.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
WSI-T (Trainer for the American Red Cross), CPR and First Aid Instructor with HSI
