I have been teaching swim lessons and water fitness classes for over 12 years. I am a USS swim coach, have my Red Cross WSI, National Water Fitness, Red Cross Lifeguard, First Aid, Infant and Adult CPR, CPR Professional Rescuer and AED as well as Red Cross Safety Training for Swim Coaches certifications. I have taught swimming to all ages from infants (my daughter was swimming laps w/o assistance at 18 months and at 8 years of age swims for a local USS team and holds the record in backstroke for 6/U) to young-at-heart senior adults. If your needs are beyond a learn to swim program, I also have many years of experience with stroke technique and refinement. Many of my competitive swim clients have made multiple CT Age Group cuts over the years and several have gone on to represent CT at Zones. To date, 5 have made Speedo Championship Sectional cuts as well. I have access to an indoor pool year round in Meriden (YMCA) where I look forward to helping you achieve your swimming goals!

Joanne is very patient with kids. She worked with my son on his stroke refinement, starts and turns for his swim team and he is doing very well now. She is an excellent instructor.

Joanne really helped smooth out my stroke and improve my timing. She is very observant concerning stroke issues and pointed out a couple of flaws which I will continue to address.
I can recommend Joanne very highly and will likely sign-up with her again.

The saying that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, specially one with a fear of water, does not hold any truth with Joanne. She will first make sure she understands were you are at the start and what are you goals. She is very attentive and extremely patience. She will always make sure that you are using proper techniques for everything (breathing, kicking, etc.). Each class you learn so much yet she allows you to go at your own comfort level. She is extremely attentive to how comfortable you are at any moment. I have also had the opportunity to see how she interacts with her very young children clients and I would tell any parent that she is amazing with children. She is highly professional yet warm and friendly. She is always on time and very accomadating with schedules. I can not believe that after each class I am smiling and looking forward to the next!
