Introduction: Private swim instruction customized to fit your needs and schedule at your home or community pool - I come to you Whether you need just a few lessons to get a jump-start, once a week or a more intensive schedule, I can work with you I am an avid, lifelong swimmer with a background in youth through high school competitive swimming and actively participate in the US Masters swimming program and open water competitions. I have been teaching swimming to infants, children, and adults intensively for the past 15 years. Because every individual is different, I adapt my teaching approach based on prior swim experience, ability, and personality. I have achieved success with children and adults of all abilities including those with special needs. I also offer stroke clinics for advanced swimmers looking to improve their technique. I can work with you to create a schedule flexible enough to accommodate your already busy routine. I recommend 30-minute sessions for most young learners, more advanced swimmers typically can benefit from 45-60 minute sessions. Discounts are available for multiple lessons booked for the same location back-to-back Please have a pool in mind before contacting me. I cannot locate a pool for you

Donna came quickly to work with my child, (last minute with me contacting her via thumbtack) and my 4 year old child learned how to swim in 3- 4 days. Donna is professional and is very intuitive to children which helps a lot! She also has very good skill set in instructing swimming lessons. I would definitely recommend Donna!

Details: Young child (18 months - 5 years old) • No experience • Comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Yes, a pool at my home • 30 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Donna started teaching our boy when he was 13 months and it was amazing to see his progress. In just a few weeks he learned to swim under water and get to the steps of the pool, get in and out of the pool and hold to the edge. With an infant classes are not easy - a baby can’t understand many things and can be in a bad mood. Donna was very patient and results followed sooner than expected! We practice with our son every day (between classes) and look forward to continuing to work with Donna for our boy to acquire new skills! Definitely recommend Donna - always punctual, professional, and patient.

Details: Infant (under 18 months) • Beginner • Comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Become more comfortable in water • Yes, a pool that allows private lessons • 30 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Donna is simply awesome! She was immediately responsive and punctual. She evaluated and engaged both kids based on their ages. I highly recommend Donna and will definitely use her again.
