Common+Questions

Below are a few questions that are often asked of me:

Q - Do you teach ISR (Infant Swimming Resource)? A - No, I do not currently have ISR certification. Do to the length of certification time, location and expense, it is not currently possible for me to get this training.

Q - What age do you recommend beginning lessons? A - While I have worked with students both young and old, I typically recommend beginning lessons at age two.

Q - What is the oldest age you teach? A - My oldest student so far was about 65 and was a beginner at Level 1.

Q - What is the most advanced level you teach? A - I teach all levels up until pre-lifeguarding. Only instructors with special certification can teach Lifeguarding.

Q - How long do your lessons last? A - I begin with one week of four 30 minute lessons. It is up to you (and scheduling availability) if you want to continue the same schedule into the next week.

Q - Where do you coach the lessons? A - This is the tricky part - my clients need to supply the pool. Usually, I coach at private home and housing community pools.

Q - Do you only coach one-on-one lessons? A - That is my preference, although I have taught many group lessons, as well. The one-on-one seem to produce the best results and give you more bang for your buck.

Q - What times of day do you hold lessons? A - Because I work full-time on the OSU campus, I am only available for lessons on evenings and weekends.
