How it works

Youth players

Working with kidsI turn every skill into an adventure: safety rules become a “treasure hunt,” kicks are “rocket boosters,” and streamlined glides earn high fives! By weaving games, bright visuals, and quick praise checkpoints into each lesson, I keep attention high while quietly layering real stroke fundamentals underneath the fun. Progress is measured in tiny, confidence-building wins, so even the most timid swimmers leave the pool smiling and excited, which will ultimately help them feel the most at ease in the water

Working with teenagersWith teens I shift from play to purpose. We set clear performance goals (drop 2 seconds in the 50 free, nail a legal breast pullout) and back them up with data such as split tracking, and video feedback that they can review on their phones. Lessons mix challenging race-pace sets with targeted drill work, plus short “why it matters” chats so athletes understand the biomechanics behind each tweak. The vibe is collaborative and empowering: they own their progress, I provide the tools and accountability to get better.
