About Us
Coach Heather
Hello! I am Heather, and I love to swim! I am the Director of Water Fit Aquatics and Water Fit Kids. I offer a seasonal swim program, March through August.
My passion is swim and people; I especially love teaching children of all ages how to be WATER FIT, fast! I get the exciting opportunity to live my dream and incorporate what I love into a career. I am a former USA swimming age-group swimmer and CIF High School Swimmer. I am also a former USA Swimming Coach (on pause at the moment to raise my kids). I incorporate my knowledge of competitive swimming with my unique teaching style to hopefully inspire those to keep on swimming whether it be for leisure or competitively.
Due to my competitive swim background, my current credentials are above and beyond a WSI. I hold American Swim Coaches Association member, Level 2 (Stroke Emphasis) and of course, CPR /1st Aid Certified. Through my business, I have taught thousands and thousands of people of all ages in the Inland Valley over the past 15 years. Getting your swimmer WATER FIT quickly is a high priority but will not let stroke technique nor swim safety falter. My swim program accommodates most learning styles, most temperaments and all swim abilities.
Swimming is a life skill, the world needs more swimmers!
My mission is to teach each swimmer, to be WATER FIT, challenge their skill ability and encourage their natural spirit.
"Water Fit Kids ARE Water Safe Kids!"
Water Fit Swim Program, Swimming is Fun!
WATER SAFETY:
Water Safety/Education is so important. We teach each swimmer water safety skills that are age appropriate. Yes, even our baby swimmers are taught water safety. Whether it's individual water safety techniques or water safety on how to help others, Water Fit Kids are educated on how to be SMART swimmers. We've had Water Fit Kids save lives because they knew what to do when another swimmer was in distress. Water Fit Kids passing curriculum is to know their Water Safety.
