Hi, friends!
Starting August 1st, I will have availability on Saturdays only from 1-3pm for Private Learn To Swim Instruction at Virginia High School.

These are 30 minute, one on one, progressive lessons and geared towards Ages 5 and up.

These are ideal if you were unable to find lessons this summer or if your child took lessons but just didn't quite get the hang of it before summer ended.

The dates are as follows:
August 1
August 8
August 15
August 22
August 29

You must be able to commit to the full August Session, as it leaves gaps that cannot be filled in my schedule. Full Payment for the Session is due August 1.

Message me for availability, as my availability is limited and my slots fill very quickly.

Starting Mid March, I will have limited space available for Private Instruction on Saturday afternoons at Virginia High.

These 30-60 minute spaces are available for Advanced Stoke and Refinement Skills geared toward competition swimmers or swimmers who are interested in competition.

No Learn To Swim Lessons are currently available.

If you're interested, message me for more details.

Due to scheduling conflicts and club swim team obligations, I will not be offering Private Learn to Swim Instruction for 2025.

If you are needing quality Learn to Swim Instruction, our club Red Piranha Swimming offers Swimamerica Learn to Swim School at Dobyns Bennett High School. This is a progressive learn to swim program format taught in small groups and we teach year around.

The link below provides our curriculum, swim school levels, as well as the sign up link.

Have a wonderful summer!

Such a sad loss for the Northeast Tennessee Swimming community today with the passing of Tom Schumann. He was an inspiration to so many with his passion and dedication to the sport and will be missed terribly. Tom, thank you for your 40 years of commitment to Swimming. You're a legend.

In other news...
I had the incredible opportunity to become certified to teach infants and toddlers recover safely if they fall in the water.

Special Thank you to Infant Swim of America and Mighty Merbabies Swim School for allowing me to be apart of helping to reduce drowning in our community!

If you have a child ages 4 and under, I am taking students in Bristol, TN for sessions beginning in March 2025. Contact me with questions or to secure your child's spot.
