Here are the places that i have been trained at and have taught swim lessons for:
Huron Valley Pools and Fitness: Lakeland High School Location
I first started here as a lifegurad, but soon got bored of just standing by the side of the pool. I took two week-long training sessions where i first learned how to teach swim lessons. I taught swim lessons at Huron Valley for about a year. I was 17 years old at the time.
Life Time Fitness: Commerce Location
Lifetime Fitness is where i had the majority of my training and experience. I worked there for about 3 years teaching swim lessons and working as a Summer Camp counselor and working my up to Summer Camp Counselor. I was the most requested swim instructor for private and class lessons. Here I also learned how to instruct adults on swimming. I personally began learnign about triathalon training so i could help adults train for their triathalons. I taught people of all ages here.
YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids
I have worked at the YMCA for almost 2 years now teaching swim lessons while i am attending school.
In the near future i will be taking another week long training course to become "YMCA Swim Instructor Ceritified" as well as a week long "WSI (Water Safety Instruction) Red Cross Course."
