SCHEDULING NOW JANUARY 2025 in Santa Fe  

Swimming is one of life’s simple pleasures.  It is joyful.  Proper technique develops your core muscles as you skim across the water effortlessly propelling your body from its core.  To schedule a lesson, click HERE.

Proper swimming is comfortable.  Many of us were taught to pull and kick rather than propel ourselves through the water.  No need to fatigue your arms and legs or strain your neck to breathe.  Instead, balance your body to roll up for a breath with ease.

Ellen Kemper is a Red Cross-certified water safety instructor and certified US Masters Swimming Association Adult-Learn-to-Swim Swim Instructor. She loves teaching swim lessons to all ages and all skill levels. She also hosts meet-ups for swimmers willing to try new swim strokes that emphasize control over speed.
