​Ahuvah Feldman

I 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.
