Experienced tutor in Swimming in Arlington, Liz offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

My 3rd grader attends Arlington County public schools. The 3rd grade the classes go to the high school pools and do swim evaluations and have swim class for a week of their gym class. My daughter was so embarrassed last year -she could not swim and had to show her whole class that she was NOT able to even put her face underwater. She had so much anxiety that I reached out to Liz. After talking with Liz, she assured me she could get my daughter out of her anxiety if I could come once a week all winter. So we did just that. She is now very confident and can go under to pick up an object is 4ft of water and jump off the side into 7ft water and swim to the side. She is improving every day. This year her 4th grade class is attending the pool for a week as a class and she can’t wait!

Working with Liz was so easy. She arranged semi-private lessons for my kids & their cousins at our pool. Kids loved Liz, she is fun & funny and my littlest one learned her colors and to count last summer during her swim lessons with water games that stimulate imagination and learning. I didn't realize that swimming would affect my children with excitement since they were not a fan of water activities. But now i can't keep them out of the pool.

Just LOVED my swim lessons. As an adult I still didn't know how to swim at 50yrs old. Liz was so patient with my fear and anxiety that I was able to relax with her breathing techniques and exercises, learning to float and then move in the water. I have overcome my fear of the water and now i really enjoy swimming and getting the low stress exercises for my arthritis. I never thought I could learn to take my feet off the bottom of the pool, but the magic happens when you step out of your comfort zone.

Liz was patient with my stubborn 3 year old who was terrified of water (even a bath). Liz as a unique way of teaching that i was fascinated to watch unfold during this past winter. My 3yr old is now a happy kid and safe kid around water. Liz taught my child to jump into the water at any depth and swim to safety. I will be having a great summer as i won't be on the edge of my seat anymore. Thanks to the swim whisperer Liz!

My child just loved Liz as a swim teacher. She is fun and funny and always had my son laughing even tho I know he was afraid of going under water. He could not wait to go to his swim lesson every week. Now he is a different kid, with confidence and a love of swimming. He tries new things without hesitation and his whole life has changed for he is a happier child.

Liz is very Knowledgable and patient with her students. I was very nervous and she calmed me down on our first lesson. Being the adult and being embarrassed that I could not swim, Liz assured me that I would learn with just a few lessons, she was right! I am now a confident happy swimmer and not afraid to go to the beach anymore.
