swim school instructor

Hi I’m Will, and they say I could swim before I could walk! I swam with the Napa Valley Swim Team for about 15 years and swam all 4 of my years at Napa High. I was never the fastest or strongest swimmer so I learned to really understand and value the importance of stroke technique. I started being a swim instructor’s aid when I was in middle school and I have been teaching swim in the Napa Valley for almost 10 years! I think that swimming is a super important and necessary survival skill that everyone should learn. My top priority in teaching swim is water safety, after kids become really safe and strong in the water, I love challenging them to learn and grown as swimmers and as wonderful kids.
