Tracy D - Female

I have been around water since I was born and have been involved in competitive swimming, within a private swim club, since I was three. I continued swimming through High School where I held the butterfly title for three consecutive years.

I have been teaching at Making Waves Swim School for over a year now and I enjoy every moment. I enjoy the children and their expressions from the beginning when they have a fear of the water until the end when they are able to swim strokes and race me across the pool. I feel very proud when a child comes to me and says that they are now joining the swim team. I feel a great accomplishment.
I teach all age groups from potty trained to adult and also special needs. I am very patient when it comes to those that have a fear of water. My main focus is confidence and after that the rest will fall into place. I go the extra mile to make sure that I have taught them to the best of my ability. I am fun and enthusiastic and I believe that it shines through in every lesson.

I currently hold a certification for Lifeguard and CPR and I have an associate’s degree in Criminal Justice.

I am happily married with two sons. In addition to Making Waves I work a full time position five days a week.
