Greetings! I specialize in instructing individuals on vital life skills at oceanic and aquatic locations. Over the course of my career, I have developed a highly effective teaching approach suitable for all age ranges; from toddlers to grown-ups. Many of my students, upon arriving, express doubts regarding their abilities and coordination. However, I am quick to encourage and reinforce positivity by redirecting their mindset to "I can excel at this!" My ultimate goal is for both children and adults to depart from our sessions with a singularly exceptional experience. Kindly note, that starting January 3, 2023, I will only be admitting adult learners. Thank you, and Best regards, Dana 💦

As a couple, we have recently taken up swimming and consider ourselves beginners. We have currently completed four lessons with Dana and are proud of the progress we've made under her guidance. Dana possesses incredible patience, gives constructive feedback and continuously motivates us to improve. We unreservedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled swimming instructor!

Collaborating with Dana was an outstanding experience! As a mature learner, I had uncertainties about my potential, but she swiftly dispelled those apprehensions and never made me feel inferior. She was extremely supportive throughout our sessions and never moved ahead until she was confident that I understood the concept. I acquired a lot of knowledge during the initial four classes, but I intend to enroll in another series to further polish my abilities. Many thanks, Dana!

To pass the BSA swim test, I enrolled in classes with Dana despite my lack of swimming skills. Initially, I could only manage half a lap of freestyle but with Dana's instruction on breathing, positioning, and form, I became more comfortable and overcame my anxiety. Within two months, I successfully completed the 100-yard continuous swim. What stood out to me about Dana was her keen observation and understanding of my limitations and her equal enthusiasm towards my learning and goal. Our first class lasted well beyond the scheduled hour because of the seamless learning experience. I highly recommend Dana to anyone seeking to improve their swimming abilities.

Dana has taught me a valuable life skill and I cannot express enough gratitude towards her. She is incredibly patient and made me feel at ease from the get-go. In just three sessions, I learned how to tread, float, back float, swim freestyle, and brush stroke swim - all of which I thought was unbelievable given my initial fear of water. Learning to swim was a requirement for my upcoming scuba diving certification in Hawaii and Dana helped me complete all the prerequisite swimming skills before my trip. Thank you so much for your assistance, Dana. I'm 26 and had never swam before, but now I highly recommend Dana's services to anyone looking to learn how to swim. 💕
