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!

After so many lessons with other instructors, I’m pleased to have found Julie. She is so detailed in her techniques, something I have never encountered before. She’s kind, patient and truly wants me to succeed and for that I’m thankful! Super excited to see how much I improve in the weeks to come. Highly recommend!

Julie is very patient with my children, and they can be a handful at 4 and 6. My son has high anxiety so her patience has been very helpful trying to get him acclimated to the water.

It has been a pleasure getting to teach your children. Looking forward to seeing the transformation that takes place as they discover how good the water can be to them.

I'm 24 year old adult who is going to bachelor party soon and needed to learn how to swim. Found Julie on thumbtack and saw she had great reviews so I thought I'd give it a shot! Just had my first lesson and learned so much in my first 30 minute lesson. She is great instructor and is very adaptable to the skill level of the student. She is really flexible in terms of scheduling, which is great for me since I have full time job. She also has lesson plan for every one she teaches and adapts her future lesson plans based on how previous classes went. I'd recommend her to anyone wanting to learn how to swim or trying to improve their technique! Doesn't matter what age you are, she is great instructor. Can't wait for my next lesson!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  My pricing is pretty straight forward, $75 for the goal setting half an hour meeting, After that the choice of having a monthly membership of $225. This is at a therapy salt water pool in Hudson. If I need to travel to your pool my price increases to cover the travel according to the distance and cost to use the pool I am visiting. This price point gets you in the hands of my training working with people in the Spectrum and adults. I constantly and studying and attending training's to tap into teaching so even the most challenged may learn.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  We set up a time to meet, go over where the customer is at and what goals we are looking to reach. I then plan out custom lesson plans that will most effectively help this individual. I look at their learning styles, challenges that will need to be addressed and what tools in my back ground will best aid in going for the goal.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  Have 30 years of working in programs with the Red Cross, YMCA and YWCA along with a Bachelors Degree in Holistic Aquatic Therapies and Principles along with a minor in Disabilities Studies. Certified through Minnesota AuMN to work as a professional for people with ASD. Assessment and goal setting training through USAT Olympics. With my custom lessons I write in a journal book for them each week what we did in the lesson and what can be practiced before our next lesson. I love staying fresh by reading online coaching tips for swimming and have books I refers to often, "Total Immersion" in one of my favorites.
