Introduction

Through the US Masters, I am certified to teach adults (ages 18 and above) how to swim. I only teach adults. I teach at the PWCS Aquatics Center near Hoadly Rd. and 234 (behind Colgan H.S.) in Prince William County, Virginia. Students connect with me because I teach from my own experience. For me, swimming is a work in progress. That's why I focus on students' own goals, for example, learn how to breathe properly, flutter kick, master new strokes or swim 25 yards without stopping. I believe everyone should know how to swim for his/her own safety. As important, swimming is great for the heart, bones, muscles, joints, and emotional health. I love working with adult beginner and intermediate swimmers. They're motivated and focused. I enjoy celebrating their progress with them.

Q&A

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

Lessons take place at the PWCS Aquatics Center in Manassas, Virginia. The center sets the fees for private and semi-private lessons, and weekly classes.

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

I ask them what experience they have in the water and what they want to get out of their lessons. I let them know that we'll focus on their goals.

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

I'm a certified Adult Learn-To-Swim Instructor (October 17, 2015). I swim with my local US Masters team (Freedom Aquatic Club).

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started swimming with my local US Masters swim teach ten years ago. For me, swimming is a work in progress. It takes a lot of focus, coordination, and practice. I am committed to sharing my experience of the water with other adults.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Adults from 16 to 85. Beginner and intermediate swimmers who need coaching with breathing, stroke techniques and swimming 25 yards without getting tired! Athletes training for triathlons.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Look for someone who knows how to teach adults. It's very different from teaching kids. Look for small classes or private lessons. The instructor should focus on your goals and needs. No cookie-cutter classes.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

How do you teach non swimmers or fearful swimmers?
