Sophie's Summer of Swim

Happy Sunday everyone!

I know I am late to post this for this season’s swim lessons but I wanted to share Bubbles2bubbles, which is run by my friend Addison! She is incredibly nice and her students love her. She teaches out of an outdoor pool and is located in Bradford. Her website is below if you want to check out what she offers!

Good morning everyone,

Unfortunately I will not be teaching swimming lessons this summer. I have absolutely LOVED teaching lessons and meeting all of you, but it’s time for me to get some experience working with/for others. I am super excited to be starting a new job and meeting some new people!

I hope everyone has an amazing summer and you can all continue lessons with someone else this summer!

Thanks so much,
Sophie

Happy Monday everyone!

I still have available swim times on August 15th-19th and August 22nd-26th, if anyone is interested in some lessons this summer! 😄

Hi everyone!

The pool is open and warmed (maybe even a little too much with the heat)! Another reminder that I do have some August availability left, so if you’re interested in booking let me know so we can schedule you in!

Also, with the heat today, please be sure to wear sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and stay in the shade when possible! Heat exhaustion is not fun!!

Have a great Tuesday everyone!! 🐠😄

Almost time for lessons! The pool is officially open and warming up! I still have some spots in August so DM or email me if you’re interested in booking for this summer!

Happy Thursday everyone!

July is officially booked up but I have some August availability left! If you’re interested in lessons for August please send me a direct message or email!

Swimming lessons are just around the corner! 🐠

Thanks to everyone reaching out and booking lessons this summer! I am pretty full in July and have some spots left in August! Please reach out now if you’re interested in lessons this summer, before spots are gone! Thanks everyone! 🐠

I’m so proud to be teaching swimming lessons! I can still remember having swimming lessons when I was young with my instructor, Anne. She made swimming so fun, even when she was making me swim laps in the pool and making me tread water for what seemed like a lifetime! 😅 I love that I can look back and remember such fun times in the pool with her and I hope that I can provide that to my students.

Thank you to everyone who has signed up for this summer, I can’t wait to start lessons and see everyone again! ☺️🐠

Yesterday gave us a glimpse of the warm weather to come, which means we will soon be back in the pool!

Below are some Red Cross water safety tips!
It is really important for everyone to understand the risks of swimming and learn how to prevent dangerous situations.

While teaching lessons, I don’t only teach the students how to properly swim but I also teach them how to be safe in and around the pool. We do activities like treading water, holding our breaths, putting on a life jacket while in the water, throwing a buoyant device, and much more!

Sometimes I have to be serious in the water, so students can understand the importance of safety, however, we mostly have fun and learn new skills! ☺️

I hope to see you this summer! ☀️

Happy Saturday everyone!

Below is my updated 2022 lesson information! Please Direct Message me on this account, or use my email to book lessons. I hope to see you all this summer! ☀️🏊‍♀️

Alright everyone! It’s that time of year where I announce that I plan on teaching swimming lessons this summer! I will be posting my hours and rates soon for this year, so make sure to check up on this page if you’re interested! I will be taking swimmers on a first come, first served basis and tend to book up relatively fast so once my dates are up please reach out!

As seen in the past 2 years, lessons have a possibility of being canceled due to Covid. Lessons depend on what the Covid numbers look like and what state we are in come summer. However, I am really hoping to have lessons and I feel confident in this summer!

I am looking forward to getting back in the pool!

Hi everyone,
I know it’s upsetting that lessons are cancelled and I appreciate your interest, however I will not be offering lessons at all this year. Please follow this page for updates on next year and have a great summer!
Thanks
Sophie

Good afternoon everyone,

I am so very sad to be posting this message today but due to Covid health regulations I will not be able to run lessons this summer.

This sucks, and I wish it didn’t have to happen, but I am trying to comply with Covid regulations and keep myself, along with my family and your families, as safe as possible.

I really hope next year I can run lessons normally. It has been a crazy 2 years of this.

On a more happy note, I hope everyone is able to have a great summer and if you want lessons next year please follow this page for updates for next year!

Thanks so much everyone,
Sophie

Hi everyone!
I am having a bunch of issues with messages on Facebook for some reason. I seem to have 2 message accounts set up and I just lost access to one of them which means I have lost a bunch of messages!! Annoying!

If you need to contact me please send me a text message to 7057951550 or through the messages of this page. So sorry for the inconvenience. If you have recently sent me a text I haven’t seen please resend it to one of the above options.

Thank you!

*If the icon of the message to me has a picture of me in a pool with a lifeguard floaty, please don’t send a message to that account and send me a text instead!

And the pool is officially open!!! Can’t wait to get it heated, cleaned, and ready for lessons!

Hoping everyone is having a great Thursday afternoon!!

Happy Friday everyone!!

I’ve fully booked some more weeks, and only have 4 weeks left of potential time slots!! These weeks include the week of July 26th, August 2nd, August 16th, and August 23rd. Once again, I’m asking anyone interested in lessons to reach out to me now before my schedule is completely full for the summer!

Thanks so much for everyone choosing to get lessons with me, I am so excited to get started and to see those I’ve taught before and meet new students this summer!

I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy!
Have a happy Friday!!

Happy Monday everyone!

I have been so happy lately with the warm sunny weather coming in! It’s crazy how much someone’s mood can change with a little bit of sunlight and the first glimpse of green grass!!

I just fully booked another week for this summer!! I have the 1 week in June still available for one more lesson, and one more week in July left. August isn’t as busy but is still short on time, so please please reach out and book lessons now if you’re interested!! It’s getting more and more full!

Thanks for everyone booking with me this summer! I can’t wait to start lessons, I am beyond excited to teach your kids new skills! I remember loving my lessons as a kid with my private instructor, so I hope to give your kids the same fun and educational experience I had!

Have a great week!

As the weather heats up we have to remember to protect ourselves in the sun. Number one rule in the summer is drink a bunch of water!! I will provide shaded areas around my pool for parents and other siblings while I teach, to keep you out of the sun and comfortable during the lesson!

I experienced heat exhaustion one summer due to teaching in direct sunlight for an extended period of time, and I definitely learned to take breaks in shade, wear a hat, and drink more water than you think!! It was not fun, so let’s avoid any sun-related risks by following these guidelines below!

Good morning! I have officially fully booked the week of July 12. Spots are becoming limited so please reach out now if you’re interested in lessons in July! August has some more availability but is also limited! Hope you have a good Thursday!
