Fun Fact:
Painting is my favorite thing to do! I paint on canvas, and I paint plant pots for the countless plants I have in my home.
Why did you go into Aquatics instruction?
I grew up on the St. Lawrence River and had been swimming for as long as I can remember! I spent my summers on the river or swimming in a pool almost daily. As soon as I could join the swim team, I did, and as soon as I could get lifeguard certified, I did. Being comfortable and having fun in the water is extremely important to me, and something I plan to pass on to my son, or anyone else I’m teaching!
