Megan S - Female

I have loved the water since I was very young, but it didn’t start out so well.  When I was 4, I went to swimming lessons where the teacher dunked me when I wasn’t ready.  I quit lessons.  The following summer I taught myself to swim.  I overcame my fear and have been in the water ever since.

I have been teaching or assisting with lessons for 16 years.  I received my Lifeguarding certificate at 15 and my Red Cross Water Safety Instructor at 16.  I have taught many people in many settings.  From young to old, beginner to advanced, in lakes and in pools.  I also taught with an American Red Cross Adapted Aquatics program for children and adults with mental and physical disabilities.  Most recently I have been teaching at the Y.

I teach all my students as a mom, I think that helps them to feel more comfortable in the water and with me.  I am proud to say that my 5 ½ year old son is a happy, floatie-free swimmer for almost two years.  My goals for your swimmer would be the same as my son: to love the water and be able to swim and have fun while being safe.  I look forward to hearing your goals and helping you and your swimmer achieve them!
