Where do I even begin with Miss Theresa? Theresa has taught both of my girls for a few years now. Theresa saw that my kids loved swimming and had turned that love into a passion. My oldest daughter came to Theresa as a 5-year-old doing semi-private lessons and just starting to learn the strokes. Theresa took the little knowledge that Ida had about the strokes and has turned Ida into a 7-year-old who can swim each stroke, do flip turns, tread water, and even dive off the block, all with great form. When Ida sees Theresa weekly, she gets excited to see what challenges she will face and overcome.
My youngest daughter Dorothy has had Theresa as an instructor for two years. When Dorothy started with Theresa, she was scared to put her face in the water and go to the deep end. Now, after two years, Theresa has Dorothy swimming laps in the pool, jumping off the block, and telling Theresa to watch my stand-up dive. Dorothy has a fun and crazy side, which could be hard for some instructors to wrangle. However, this is not a problem for Miss Theresa. Theresa laughs alongside Dorothy, having tea parties, but also has respect from Dorothy so that when it is time to focus, Dorothy will. This is a true testament to how amazing Miss Theresa is.
We are fortunate to have found her as a swim instructor, and we look forward to continuing to swim and be taught by Miss Theresa!
