What I Believe
"I want every athlete, kid or young adult, to understand their inherent value as a person is dictated by things far greater than what the scoreboard of performance says."

Swim Lessons

Safe. Skilled.
Confident.

Before I was a collegiate athlete, I was a swim instructor first. I have successfully taught over 500 private and small-group lessons, with over 6 years of experience working with swimmers from newborns to middle-age adults.

I know what it means for a parent to trust someone with their child in the water. I have taken that seriously for almost 8 years now, with CPR/AED, USA Swimming SafeSport, and Lifeguard Training Certifications. Safety is always the foundation, everything else builds from there.

I came up through competitive swimming myself. Six years with Shockwave Aquatics before swimming at the Division I level. I know the sport from the inside: the technique, the training, and what it actually takes to get faster. Wherever your swimmer is in their journey, I know how to meet them exactly where they are.

30–45 Minute Sessions
Every session is focused and purposeful. Length is matched to the swimmer. A young child gets a shorter, age-appropriate session built around how they actually learn.
Quick Pre-Session Form
Before we start, parents fill out a 60-second questionnaire so I understand your swimmer before we ever hit the water.
Parent Debrief
After every session I sit down with the parent. You'll always know exactly what we worked on and why.
What to Bring
A swimsuit and their favorite goggles. That's it. I handle the rest.
Lesson Options
For the best results, I recommend 2 to 3 sessions per week. Consistency is what builds real progress in the water.

For Athletes
Who Want More

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Coaching and Performance Science with an emphasis on Organizational Leadership. I have a framework of education that most coaches don't have. I work with competitive athletes and teams on the factors that actually separate good from great. The mental, relational, and structural side of performance.

I'm not here to replace a coach or administrator. I'm here to give you the tools they may not have had time to teach.

What We Work On
  • Video Stroke Analysis: Film your swims. I break down mechanics frame by frame and deliver a written report with priorities.
  • Dryland Programming: Strength, mobility, and power training built specifically for your events.
  • Race Strategy: Splits, pacing plans, dive execution, turn efficiency, and taper structure.
  • Mental Performance: Pre-race routines, pressure management, and competition mindset.
  • Recruiting Guidance: For high school athletes, how to position yourself, communicate with college coaches, and make the most of your final seasons.
