FAVORITE QUOTES
""Exercise is king. Nutrition is queen. Put them together and you have a kingdom."
— Jack LaLane
He was the Original TV exercise Guru in the 1960s. He loved to swim and believed calisthenics was the best form of exercise (pull ups, push ups, sit ups, etc).
Hello All,
I am very excited to join the team at Liquid Lifestyles. The curriculum and class size here is the closet match to my philosophy for teaching that i have ever found. I don't believe that frightened, crying children are learning anything. I believe strongly in a comfortable environment and teaching fundamentals first. I believe in catching children doing something right instead of pointing out mistakes. That is what is happening here and I love it. My favorite line is "see, you can do it" when a child makes progress towards a skill. "A child's work is play" and that is what I have always tried to make happen when I taught swimming in the past. It will be easy to accomplish here because I will have all the tools i need to help your child succeed!
My son and daughter are both great swimmers that enjoy water sports and travel as much as I do. We have shared many great adventures over the years; hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking and SCUBA diving.
