Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I come with every piece of equipment students will need for a swim lesson. This includes flotation devices, water "noodles," water noodles with pony "heads" for kids, surf boards, "magic carpet," bar bells of all sizes, toys of all sizes and for all ages and more. All adults have to do is to supply the kids and, the bathing suits and, if necessary, the swim diapers. Or all adult students have to do is supply themselves. I can make recommendations on where to purchase items and how and why to buy a wetsuit for a student of any age. I review every single lesson before and after, taking input at these times. And I offer suggestions on what can be done between lessons to help continue the learning process. Every lesson must end on a high note! I enjoy building trust with a student that allows that student to make progress. I love to see students overcome obstacles and grow in the water. I love to see new learners overcome fears and accomplish goals set for them by themselves or by the general progression of swim lessons. I love to see them learn to have safe fun in the water also. Every lesson should have dedicated fun time.

Deborah provided swim lessons to my two children starting from age three or four for over five years. She is an excellent instructor. Very professional. She is great at breaking down the steps of each stroke so that children can understand and learn each piece and then put it all together. She was specifically good at customizing her teaching style to the personality of each of the children, identifying what would best motivate them and make it the most fun for each of them. As the children got older, we moved into other topics like pool safety, what to do in different scenarios (such as someone falling in with their clothes on). My children are very strong and confident swimmers thanks to Deborah.

During the three years I had the opportunity to work with Deborah, she proved to be a knowledgeable and professional instructor, who truly cares about her students learning how to swim properly. From infants to adults of all learn-to-swim levels, she has the patience and dedication to teach the basics, and the experience to correct stroke mechanics to help her students be successful in the water, all while keeping them safe and in a relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend her without a doubt!

We worked with Deb last summer in a small group of young toddlers (11 Mo-1yr). She was awesome! The kids learned pool safety and basic swim strokes as well as some great songs. Would definitely recommend Deb’s lessons!

Deborah has been giving swim lessons to our kids for the past 3-4 summers. She is an excellent swimming instructor and very good with kids. I noticed big improvement in their stroke development and overall technique. Deborah is also great at teaching adults - she gave some lessons to my husband, who is a good swimmer but wanted to improve his stroke. She is a pleasure to work with, has good communication, and arrives on time.
