Specialties I can offer:

I have worked with children and adults with special needs, specifically individuals with developmental, behavioral, physical, congenital and sensory sensitivity disorders.

I am a certified lifeguard instructor and can teach Lifeguard training to a group of students 15 years or older. I have taught a total of 5 certification and re-certification lifeguarding courses, and several CPR re-certifications. I am also a certified WSI and taught swim lessons for children 2-14 with a wide range of abilities. During the summer of 2012 ran a swim program at a day camp for 4-6 year olds.

Total I have been an active lifeguard for 8 years and swim instruct for 5 years. I love to teach both swimming and lifeguarding, and have taught several LGT classes. I have background in occupational therapy, special education, swim coach, and have personal experience on a swim team. I love swimming and couldn’t imagine a better summer job than teaching and lifeguarding for the summer!

Testimonials

"Everything about my experience with Happy Swimmers has been amazing! From the scheduling to the fantastic teacher they sent for my 5 and 6 year old. The instructor, Emma, had to contend with 2 very different personalities along with 2 different levels of swimming experience. She was more than equipped to deal with that and gave each child unparalleled support, encouragement and instruction. I highly recommend this service to all parents that want to give their child a great experience in being water safe!"

"We have three kids ages 7, 4, and 2.5. This was our second year having Happy Swimmers, with instructor Trisha Commons, come teach our kids (the two oldest) to swim. I tried another company the year before I tried Happy Swimmers and although the kids learned swim safety, they were bored and did not learn how to enjoy the pool. Trisha got our son, who did not really like swimming, having fun and by the end of last year could swim the entire length of the pool on his own. Trisha is great with the kids and is flexible in her teaching style to work with different personalities. She is able to get the kids confident in their abilities and teaches them how to swim, but also teaches them how to have fun! I will definitely be asking Happy Swimmers and Trisha to teach the kids again next year."

"I have a toddler and a pool and wanted to make sure my son learned water safety. After taking some group classes last summer, I knew I wanted more one-on-one attention at our home. This summer I reviewed several in-home companies and was impressed with Happy Swimmers approach of water safety. Trish worked with my stubborn 2-yr old 2-3 times a week. Within the first lesson he knew how to climb out of the pool and to ask permission before getting in. Although our goal was to get him water comfortable more than "swimming", he indeed learned to swim within a few weeks. We extended our lessons and really appreciated Trish's approach. We will sign up again next summer. Many of our friends with children happened to be present on several lessons and I expect they will also sign up next summer as well."

"Hired a happy swimmers for private life guard for a party for over 200 people at my house. The lifeguard was great. She called to confirm before, came on time, and stayed later then we originally signed up because the party went over. She also showed up on time despite there by a black out that because of storms the day before. I highly recommend Happy Swimmers."
