People are always surprised when I tell them that I teach swimming lessons for a living. What they fail to realize is that I don't just teach bubble blowing, floating and front crawl. I am teaching them a set of life skills that they will have for the rest of their lives. As a coach, I believe that having confidence is essential and I love to remind all of my students that they can accomplish anything, and everything, they set their minds to.
I remember my very first water safety class: I had a child I was teaching who was autistic and afraid of the water. His mom expressed that she just wanted her son to have fun in the water and feel comfortable, only. After three consecutive weeks of swimming lessons, this child learned how to safely jump in the water, climb out of the pool, and swim about 10 feet out and return to the wall securely. From that moment on, I knew it was my mission to be a swimming instructor because of the passion that I put into teaching.
That is just one story of the hundreds of stories throughout my four years of teaching swim lessons. I just enjoy teaching new skills to someone no matter if they are 6-months-old or 65-years-old, afraid, or not afraid. I think that the most rewarding part of it all is seeing a swimmer grow out of their fears and push past their limits.
