Hi! Im Megan, and Im 19 years old. I was a competitive swimmer for around ten years, starting when I was 9 and continuing through high school. I have been doing private lessons with young swimmers since I was 12 and taught at a swim school where I gained experience with small groups of kids ages 4 months to 13 years old. I have experience at all levels in the pool and am always happy to help a swimmer, no matter if they are a beginner or if they already swim competitively. Its important to me to have a good line of communication with parents about their childs progress and what they are looking for. I look forward to sharing my love of swimming with others!

Id be in the pool all the time if I could and felt that way since I was 5. The love of water turned to speed and afforded the ability to train with olympians and world record holders, earning myself a place alongside those exceptional athletes in the finals of the 2004 Olympic trials. Since then I appreciated the opportunity to develop swim lesson programs for an early childhood center/community center, but I feel a greater sense of accomplishment when I teach, having taught ages 3 to 72 and assistant coached a team of 250+ swimmers in middle and high school. I feel lessons are most effective when we can create a comfortable environment to encourage openness to learning, and use my experience to tailor lessons to each individual.
