What does it mean to host lessons?
If you don't mind having other children trained in your pool; you can earn free lessons. You trade the use of your pool for lesson fees. Your child's lessons would take place at a time of your choosing, either before, after, or in between the others. Only one child is in the water at a time.
When you host 5 or more children at your home your first child's lessons are absolutely free. That's my thank you -- to you, for helping educate other children in your area. I ask for a commitment of 7 weeks for new students or 3 weeks for refresher students.
There is almost always a waiting list for training in Oviedo and Winter Springs. You need not be concerned about recruiting students for lessons at your home.
Your pool must be consistantly warm (83-89 degrees) and chemically balanced (chemicals must be checked daily). There must be a clear exterior walkway from the street to your pool deck, so that no one must enter your home. You need not be present to host.
I am completely insured to provide this service and I am happy to provide you with a copy of my insurance policy as well as copies of my certifications to teach.
Happy New Year Swim Family!! I am so excited to begin planning 2020 swim season, my 20th year!! 🤯
But first, I would love to hear from you if you would like to host lessons at your home pool! The benefits of hosting go beyond free lessons, you become an incredible blessing to your community!! Helping me to provide lessons to those children in your community that might not otherwise be able to get to a pool each day.

Every year I receive survival stories. This sweet little 18 month girl took lessons this June and learned the full swim float swim survival sequence. Mom sent this text yesterday. We never know when our children will get to the water unsupervised, but please know it will happen! in this case mom was close by. I am so honored to have been given the opportunity to teach her.
