Introduction

I am very knowledgeable and patient. I have taught all ages and bring years of teaching to each lesson. I enjoy what I do and am so thrilled with each bit of progress I see my student athlete gain. I have focused the past 7 years on developing methods to teach water safety to people on the Autism spectrum. I specialize in teaching children with disabilities looking at abilities to build skills. I Love the water and like bringing the inner fish out. We all started this journey from a very safe place surrounded by water and I believe everyone that wants to exercise in water can find strength and comfort there. Meeting an individual and coming up with their goals and using my creative skills to help them find their way and become the swimmer and athlete they dream of. I love the joy the moment the body and mind line up and the hard work is paying off.

I began first lesson fearful of the water because I had not been swimming for 40 years. Three days later, I was enjoying the water and swimming backstroke and freestyle. Endurance and technique need a lot of work but I have made great progress in a short time. Pro began by helping me feel comfortable in the water. I'm looking forward to becoming a confident swimmer.

My 7 yr old already knew how to float. He learned more in 10 minutes w/ Julie than a whole month at a local swim school w/ 3 other kids in his class. If you could only take 1 swim class in your life, this would be it. He enjoyed being in the water. He treaded water in the deep end and swam independently with proper form (new skills acquired). Julie continuously checked in with us during the lesson to see if our concerns were addressed and expectations met. She exceeded them and reaffirmed that we made the best decision (we even decided to skip out on his last swim class at his old school cuz we didn't want to waste our time).

Details: Youth (6 - 12 years old) • Beginner • Comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Yes, a pool that allows private lessons • 30 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Julie has been absolutely wonderful with my swimming lessons. I have always wanted to learn how to swim but found the idea pretty daunting. She has helped me find my footing and freedom in the water. Her teaching style is simple, straightforward and patient. She helps me understand how to move my body, how to breathe and maintain posture in the water. Her lessons are geared to not only teach you basic swimming strokes but to guide you through survival techniques. I am 5 classes in and I can back float, control my breath underwater, stroke and slide on my front and almost swim with buttefly strokes. I have made great progress in a short amount of time and this is all due to her impeccable teaching. I highly recommend Julie as a teacher for all ages. She can understand the value of swimming for you and help you focus on your water goals. I have no doubt that I'll be a perfect swimmer soon and I am extremely grateful I found such a fun teacher for this journey.

Our seven year old was having trouble putting his face in the water and feeling confident swimming without a floatation device. After three private swim lessons with Julie, he's made more progress than two summers of other swim classes. She's very patient but direct with him, and took extra steps to get to know his learning style. She follows all appropriate COVID safety protocols and we are the only family in the pool area during the lesson. We love watching our son build his skills and confidence!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is pretty straight forward, $75 for the goal setting half an hour meeting, After that the choice of having a monthly membership of $225. This is at a therapy salt water pool in Hudson. If I need to travel to your pool my price increases to cover the travel according to the distance and cost to use the pool I am visiting. This price point gets you in the hands of my training working with people in the Spectrum and adults. I constantly and studying and attending training's to tap into teaching so even the most challenged may learn.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We set up a time to meet, go over where the customer is at and what goals we are looking to reach. I then plan out custom lesson plans that will most effectively help this individual. I look at their learning styles, challenges that will need to be addressed and what tools in my back ground will best aid in going for the goal.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Have 30 years of working in programs with the Red Cross, YMCA and YWCA along with a Bachelors Degree in Holistic Aquatic Therapies and Principles along with a minor in Disabilities Studies. Certified through Minnesota AuMN to work as a professional for people with ASD. Assessment and goal setting training through USAT Olympics. With my custom lessons I write in a journal book for them each week what we did in the lesson and what can be practiced before our next lesson. I love staying fresh by reading online coaching tips for swimming and have books I refers to often, "Total Immersion" in one of my favorites.
