Why do you love being a swim teacher and being a part of The Little Swim School Team?
Having had a near drowning experience as a child I wanted to ensure other children know how to swim and save themselves so they do not have the experience or baggage to carry around. I never went onto the water again for 30 years until I taught myself to swim to become a swim teacher.
