Frequently Asked Questions

🏊 Lessons & Progress

  • I work with swimmers ages 4 and up.

  • No experience is required! I do recommend that children feel comfortable being in the water and having water on their face before starting.

  • You can choose a lesson length that suits you in 15 min increments of one-on-one instruction.

  • Many children show noticeable progress within 2–3 consistent lessons. On average, a full level can be completed in 10–15 lessons.

  • For the best progress, I recommend 2–3 lessons per week. Consistency is key to building confidence and reinforcing new skills.

  • Yes. My Level One class teaches safety basics such as jumping into the pool, rolling onto the back to float, rolling forward again, and safely reaching the wall.

  • That’s okay! Many beginners start out nervous. I use a gentle, encouraging approach to help children feel safe and comfortable while building confidence step by step.

  • Not at this time.

  • I specialize in private, one-on-one lessons. While group lessons can be fun, I believe every child deserves focused attention tailored to their learning style and abilities.

📅 Scheduling & Payments

  • Yes! New students are encouraged to book a free assessment class. This allows me to evaluate the swimmer’s skills and create a personalized lesson plan.

  • Please contact me through my website to schedule your free assessment or call/ text me at 623-226-8486

  • If a lesson is canceled by the instructor you will be able to make up the lesson on a Saturday as offered.

    You bookings are saved for you on a recurring basis. Because of this, any client cancellations of a scheduled lesson will result in forfeiture of the lesson.

  • If your child is ill, please let me know as soon as possible.

  • Yes! I am an ESA homeschool mom myself, and invoices can be submitted through Direct Pay in ClassWallet for all of your lessons.

  • No. I am an approved Vistancia Village A HOA swim instructor, and my lessons are open to both residents and non-residents.

🛟 Safety & Logistics

  • I am certified through the Red Cross in Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid. I also bring over 10 years of experience as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and competitive swimmer.

  • Lessons are always one-on-one to ensure your child has my full attention. A CPR rescue mask is always on hand. For safety, no siblings are allowed in the water during the lesson.

  • Absolutely! I encourage parents to watch and be involved. Talking with your child about what they’re learning helps reinforce skills and boosts progress.
