Hi, I’m Patrick,

        With over 20 years of experience as a physical education teacher, I bring a lifelong passion for helping kids grow through movement, confidence, and fun. My journey began in afterschool and summer programs, where I worked as a camp counselor, lifeguard, and camp director—roles that sparked my love for teaching and mentoring young learners.

        I’m certified in CPR (infant, child, and adult) and First Aid, with advanced rescue medicine experience gained during my five years serving as a Search and Rescue Operator. This background has given me a deep understanding of safety, emergency response, and how to create a secure environment for all swimmers.

As a parent of two young swimmers myself, I understand the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. My goal is to help every child feel confident in the water while developing skills that support a healthy, active lifestyle.

        Whether your child is just starting out or building on what they’ve learned, I’m here to guide them every step of the way—with patience, encouragement, and a whole lot of fun.

                                                                                                                                     -Patrick
