We only swim with our “Fins up!”
Cedar City, Utah
For my EDGE project, I wanted to
create my own summer business. I have a lot of experience in the water so I
decided to create my own summer swimming lesson business. I worked with
students privately at my local pool.
I have had several parents ask me if I teach
private lessons in the past. I decided to take this need and fill it. In the
past, I have done a few random private lessons when I had time. This year, I
wanted to be much more organized and prepared. I arranged times with my manager
to where I had the pool to myself at certain time so I could teach lessons. I
taught water safety and instruction. I had a safe and successful experience
teaching this summer. I worked with each child for four sessions and each
session was a half hour long.
I
am very passionate about swimming and I love teaching little kids. I have been
in the water since I was a baby swimming for my first time in Lake Powell. At
eight years old, I joined the local swim team where I went to competitions all
over Utah. I swam on the team until I was I was 14. In high school, I
life-guarded and taught swimming lessons. I worked at two different pools for
four years. I am certified through the Redcross in swim safety, swim
instruction, and CPR. The EDGE program is designed to help students at Southern
Utah University gain real world experience that fits within their major.
