I was a competitive swimmer as a kid and swam on a couple of National Youth teams to International meets. Quit swimming at the age of 16 and didn't really step into a pool until I was 7 months pregnant with my daughter(helped with the swelling of the feet)and decided that swimming was my first love. So I recertified my lifesaving and swim instructor and started working at a city pool. In the last 5 years I've been training pretty hard and am in the best shape I've been in 20 years because of swimming! In 3 weeks I get to compete at my second World Lifesaving Championships in Montpellier, France at the age of 40. Swimming rules! My daughter just did her first 25 meters all by herself last month, I almost started crying, I was so proud! She's got a mean little backstroke for a 5 year old.
Those that we're asking about adult lessons, we gave them at Glenmore pool on Wednesday nights from 7-8pm. The instructor that teaches it is very good. He has taken people that start freaking out just getting in the water and in 7-8 weeks even had them jumping of the diving board. He manages his classes very well, because he may have such a range of levels. But always has someone working on something. I don't know about any of the other instructors with in the city, but Vaughn is awesome! It's a registered class: Learn to Swim. Our next session starts in October(our pool is shut down for 6 weeks starting next week) his class always fills up quick, so if you want in, register now!
