So, why Alison?
At the end of the day, my goal is simple:
to help you (or your child) unlock your full potential in the water while ensuring you enjoy every moment of your swimming journey.
Lessons for Swimmers of All Ages and Abilities:
I offer more than just swimming lessons.
I provide personalized programs designed to help swimmers develop efficient and sustainable routines that align with their unique lifestyles and objectives.
Whether you're a busy parent juggling family responsibilities, a triathlete striving for peak performance, or a beginner of any age eager to dive into the world of swimming, I've got you covered.
From teaching first-time swimmers as young as three months to adults embarking on a new aquatic journey, I've had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life.
One of my most memorable experiences was coaching a medical doctor who decided to take the plunge and face her ultimate fears: learning to swim from scratch!
(It's not too late - or early - for anyone!)
As a parent of a sensitive toddler, I understand the challenges and anxieties that can accompany learning to swim.
That's why my first rule in lessons is that it's okay to be scared.
I emphasize patience, empathy, and encouragement paired with very specific feedback for actionable results. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where every swimmer can feel empowered to overcome their fears and build confidence in the water. I have experience teaching fun parent/child classes as well as critical 1:1 water safety skills for infants.
Athletic/Personal Training for Non-Swimmers:
Aquatic fitness is not limited to traditional swimming!
There are so many ways to enjoy the water and get a great workout in without swimming laps.
I would love to help you incorporate some pool time into a sustainable fitness routine. In order to expand my offerings, I am currently pursuing a personal training certification through the National Academy for Sports Medicine. I am committed to staying at the forefront of the industry and continuously expanding my knowledge and skills. This dedication enables me to tailor lessons to meet the diverse needs and goals of my students. I am so excited about the opportunity to combine my love of swimming with personal training when I finish this next certification!
Stroke/Endurance Training for Experienced Swimmers:
Believe me: you can trust a synchronized swimmer to teach you swimming endurance and technique!
I love helping kids and adults refine their strokes to improve efficiency either for swim team, or personal fitness. My unique experience as a competitive synchronized swimmer informs my different approach to teaching technique. You can learn to swim effortlessly working with a professional with the skill set needed to unlock results.
Regardless of your current level, I would love to help you build a swimming routine that is sustainable, efficient, and fun. Whether you're looking to get a good workout while keeping an eye on your kids or aiming to maximize your efficiency for upcoming triathlon events, I'm here to guide and support you every stroke of the way.
Let's dive in together and make a splash towards your swimming goals!
