Swim Lessons for the summer 2021

2/26/2021

Hi Spindlebeak Swim Lesson Family! We are truly blessed to have such wonderful families support us! We absolutely love working with you!
The year 2020 brought new challenges, and we were able to stand tall and continue with swim lessons. Due to COVID-19 and the restrictions that will remain in place during the summer of 2021, our swim lessons will be limited. By limited, I mean, I will be the only one in the water teaching. In the past, we have had multiple instructors, in the water. We will not be able to offer as many lessons, in comparison to 2019 or even 2020. As pool space becomes available, I will have a schedule on the website available for sign-ups.
This is truly a difficult decision and we want to provide a positive and rewarding service. We hope to return, to our regularly scheduled season, in the future.
I apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact me with any questions, comments or concerns.

Thank you for your support!

Fair well to summer 2020! We will see you again in 2021.

8/29/2020

It is time to close down the pool, for the season, and say fair well to our amazing families who supported us during a pandemic and participated in safe swim lessons. It has been a wonderful summer! We truly appreciate your dedication to swimming. We will cherish every single one of you and we look forward to seeing you during the summer 2021!
Thank you so much.

Hi! My name is Sam, I come from over 20 years of water instruction. I began swimming at the age of 4 and swam competitively through college, at George Mason University.
I have a wealth of knowledge, from infant survival skills to college swimming and stroke technique. I absolutely love what I do! I enjoy helping children learn the water. I love seeing the smiles on parents faces when there child places there face in the water, for the first time. During the summer, I will be primarily at Chesapeake Golf Club teaching ISR and Group Lessons in June and July.

Instructor, Julia

Hi my name is Julia! I began swimming at the age of 6 and continue to swim at a USA level, with ECAT. I have attended many championship meets throughout my high school career. I will also be swimming at the collegiate level, in the fall, at Berry College.
For the past three years, I have been coaching the Riverwalk Gator Swim Team.
Sam has coached me for three years, at Oscar Smith High School. She understands my passion, for swimming. I am super excited to be part of Spindlebeak and continue to teach and share my love and passion of swimming to many more children!

Instructor, Gabby

4/8/2019

Hi my name is Gabby! I love kids because they are always happy and friendly. Kids never fail to make you smile and they are so loving towards everyone! I started swimming competitively in high school, my freshman year, and my coach was patient and taught me new skills, with swimming.
I want to pay it forward. I hope to teach other kids how to swim and to love to water. I joined Sam in 2018, working with Horizons of Hampton Roads and being in the water with Sam, teaching group lessons. I support Spindlebeak and what we offer because teaching a child how to swim is a gift, in itself.
I will mostly be at Great Bridge Swim & Racquet Club, during the summer, teaching group and private lessons.

Instructor, Kaitlin

I love working with kids and helping them learn how to feel comfortable and confident, in the water.
I have been on the Horizons of Hampton Roads team for three years as well as been in the water, teaching Sam's kids how to swim!
