Ahuvah Feldman, FounderI 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.
