I was a junior coach for my rec swim team and taught at Splash Swim School and Little Swimmers. I've taught ages 6 months to 14 years and have experience with special needs.

Hi, my name is Nicholas and I have been a swim instructor for the last 5 years! I love to work with kids and I fundamentally believe that water safety and swimming are foundational skillsets that all children should know to be not only safe but to have fun! I incorporate a lot of play based activities because I believe that a child who associates the pool with happy feelings will be much more inclined to try the harder and scarier things in the water. I grew up with a pool so I have been in and around the water for my entire life. This gives me practical experience being in the water and being able to assess where your kids are at and how to best help them succeed in what can be a scary environment!
