Introduction
TEACHING A LIFE SKILL! Hi! I’m a Certified Water Safety Instructor (WSI), Lifeguard, and CPR/AED certified professional with years of experience teaching swimming in both pools and beach settings. I specialize in working with adults and children helping you build confidence and getting you moving in the water doing a lot of repetition on survival mode, which is swimming on the back along with freestyle and breaststroke etc. Adults come to swim thinking "I can’t do that” or “I’m not coordinated.” I quickly turn those doubts into “I will be great at this!” My goal is for every adult/child to leave each lesson feeling confident and with the best experience. Ideal for: ✔ Adults learning to swim for safety, fitness, triathlons, or vacations ✔ Beginners of all ages looking to gain confidence and skill in the water Class Locations & Schedule: 📍 Maryland & Washington DC (inside the Beltway) – Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday 📍 Springfield, VA & surrounding areas – Tuesday and Thursday 💦 Private Lessons at Home Pools: $175 ⭐ Grandfathered rates available for returning guests for Spring/Summer 2025 🔥 Referral Bonus: After 3 referrals, earn a FREE private lesson! 😎💦 **monthly in the Chicago area ***Please take into consideration- I maintain a strict 24-hour notification cancellation and no-show policy to ensure all guest have the same opportunity to receive the highest quality of personal attention and care durning their swim session. In the case of late cancel or no-shows a $65 Fee will be charged. Best, Dana L💦

Dana is the perfect swim instructor for me. I’ve been putting off taking private lessons for a long time and after every lesson I wonder why it took me so long. Dana is patient, reassuring, kind, and I never feel judged if I struggle with something. And on top of all that she somehow makes the process fun. If you’re thinking of learning to swim as an adult, stop putting it off, I highly recommend Dana!

Dana is the best trainer…ever! She’s very patient, knowledgeable and provides detailed instructions. She knows when you’re struggling and when to offer praise or give you a break. I highly recommend her!

Very effective instructor to build confidence and provide the basics in adults. I was able to use what I learned in 2 classes to increase my comfort in water and continue to improve. Will definitely hire again for more advanced skills as I go through my swimming journey.

Ms Dana is awesome and by end the of my first class I was floating unassisted but where she really won was with my 4year old, who now looks forward to our classes. I highly recommend her for quality classes.
