About
We are very knowledgeable and patient. Have taught all ages and bring years of teaching to each session. We enjoy,am thrilled with each bit of progress our student athlete gain. I have focused the past 15 years on developing methods to teach water safety to people on the Autism spectrum. I specialize in teaching children with disabilities having met with renown program leader’s world wide. We are looking at abilities to build skills. Most on our team have license to touch and liability insurance along with CPR training and seasonal auditing. Safety along with survival skills are practiced at each 30 minutes session displayed in a waterproof iPad on the deck with custom swimming tasks. We never allow can’t, never ask what can’t but insist on I’ll try what feels like a big ask at the moment. I love the joy the moment the body and mind line up and the hard work is paying off. Let’s meet at a pool or lake soon. Summer is beautiful here in Minnesota with over 14,000 Lakes

I can't express how grateful I am for Julie's dedication to our girls! She always arrives promptly, and it's been so heartwarming to witness the incredible progress in my 2-year-old daughter when it comes to swimming and being in the pool. In just under two weeks, she went from needing a life vest in the pool to swimming confidently without one! Julie truly has a special gift with children; her patience and understanding shine through in everything she does. I wholeheartedly recommend her for swimming lessons; she has made such a positive impact on our family.

Besides being very professional, punctual and responsive to our queries, Julie is a gifted teacher. Her package deal for three beginner adult swimmers was very reasonable , and included oodles of caring patience, insight into individual swimmer needs, and fun pace.

I began first lesson fearful of the water because I had not been swimming for 40 years. Three days later, I was enjoying the water and swimming backstroke and freestyle. Endurance and technique need a lot of work but I have made great progress in a short time. Pro began by helping me feel comfortable in the water. I'm looking forward to becoming a confident swimmer.

Our seven year old was having trouble putting his face in the water and feeling confident swimming without a floatation device. After three private swim lessons with Julie, he's made more progress than two summers of other swim classes. She's very patient but direct with him, and took extra steps to get to know his learning style. She follows all appropriate COVID safety protocols and we are the only family in the pool area during the lesson. We love watching our son build his skills and confidence!
