Jessica
My life has been centered around the water ever since I can remember. When my mother had me she was a CPR instructor, swim instructor, and lifeguard. So at a very young age I learned CPR and swimming techniques. My first ever job was a lifeguard at the YMCA, I worked there for four years and for my last year I was head lifeguard. While lifeguarding I obtained my swim instructor certification and taught there for two years. I then branched out and decided to work in the education system at local schools, until I moved to Sarasota last year where I began teaching swim lessons privately and remotely. I also received a water Aerobic instructor license and taught for the county. Being that close to the water made me realize just how important swim safety is. Over the years, I’ve learned several different techniques and teaching styles that work best. I have four main concerns that I like to address throughout the sessions; comfortability, safety, technique, and fun. Comfortability comes first in my eyes because if a child or an adult doesn’t feel safe or confident in themselves it may lead to an overall negative experience. Safety is also extremely crucial especially being in Florida where there’s ponds on every corner so that’s a definite component. Next I dive into technique, this is where I go into more strokes such as freestyle breaststroke and backstroke. Lastly, I love to incorporate fun in anything I do because that’s what really makes lessons stick with children. I currently have my CPR, first aid, AED, and water aerobics certificate.
