“I have been swimming with Taegan for over a year, when I first started I couldn’t swim at all. I signed up because I wanted to qualify for more advanced military courses that required swimming skills. Taegan is not only a great swimmer, but more importantly she is a phenomenal teacher. Anyone can be a good swimmer with practice but it’s something entirely different to be able to pass along the knowledge of swimming. She is analytical of her students learning styles and abilities, catering her teachings to their age, character and level of comfort with the water. She is able to pinpoint my strengths and weaknesses and moulds her lessons to address areas that need improvement, which I haven’t had anyone do for me in the past. She acts like a guide in the water to help you find your path and understand how the elements work. She is nurturing, kind and has an innate motherly instinct when she interacts with children. Overall, she’s definitely an awesome person to learn swimming from and her fun personality helps make the hour of swimming enjoyable. My confidence in the water has improved drastically, I am now able to swim laps of free style and I am able to tread water, although it does still need some work. After swimming with Taegan I am certain if I had to swim to survive while on a military excursion I would be able to do so. She is a great person to learn from and I highly recommend her as a teacher.”
