I have loved water for as long as I can remember. My mother started me in a swim class at age three at a local swim facility in Delaware. Since then, swimming has been my favorite activity. It helps me relax, let go of all my anxieties and stresses, and enjoy quiet time away from my busy life as a mom. The water is my happy place and I would love to share mine with others in a safe manner, no matter their age or abilities.
