🏊 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.
Each session is 30 minutes 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.

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.
Booking is simple through my website. You can select recurring weekly slots or schedule sessions individually based on your availability.
You may cancel or reschedule up to 12 hours in advance with no charge. Cancellations within 12 hours or no-shows are subject to a $20 fee.
If your child is ill, please cancel or reschedule as soon as possible. As long as it’s more than 12 hours before the lesson, there’s no charge.
Yes! A monthly membership is available for $350, which includes up to twelve 30-minute private lessons.
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.

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.
Lessons take place at the Vistancia Mountain Vista Club Pool:
29701 N. Sunrise Point, Peoria, AZ 85383
Yes! The pool is heated year-round to provide a comfortable learning environment.
Yes, lessons are available throughout the year since the pool is heated.
If rain or lightning is expected, lessons will be canceled and you’ll be able to reschedule for another day.
I provide all necessary swim equipment. Please bring a swimsuit, towel, water, and sunscreen. Goggles are welcome for comfort, but I also ensure children can perform skills without them for safety.
