Ahuvah FeldmanI have been teaching children and adults how to swim since 1980. Originally trained in adaptive swim instruction, I have experience teaching those with a wide range of confidence levels, physical abilities and/or learning differences. I firmly believe that anyone who is motivated to do so can learn to swim. Helping non-swimmers gain the skills to become independent swimmers gives me great pleasure. Water safety is an integral part of every lesson.

I have been teaching swim lessons since 2015. Whether my student is a new swimmer at the beginning stage, or more advanced and working on strokes, I make each lesson a fun, learning experience. Learning to swim is such an important life skill. I am proud to be a part of this process for children ages four years old through adults.

I have had the pleasure of teaching people of all ages and levels since 1996. I am trained in both Red Cross and YMCA swimming programs. One of my particular talents is the ability to support children with anxiety, helping them to relax and feel confident in the water.

Sky BloomerI learned to swim when I was seven years old and have been in love with it ever since. As a competitive swimmer turned swim instructor, the pool is where I am most often found.
