From the Instructors:

I hope that Summer is coming soon! I am definitely looking forward to it. I have been teaching children to swim since I was 16 years old and I love to see the excitement, the expressions and the accomplishment of the children. As I enter the eighth summer of teaching at Avalon, I look forward to teaching your children.I truly love it!

Returning for her fifth summer is Nicole Ligon, whom also enjoys working with each of your children.Nicole has finished her sophomore year at Longwood University where she is majoring in Elementary & Middle School Education.As many of you know, she is a great instructor and loves to work with the children, too.

As a Water Safety Instructor, I am to follow a lesson plan that is given to me by the Red Cross, provide the skills checklist and give feedback after each class.If at anytime you feel that we are not accomplishing this, please contact the pool manager, Jack Cox, or myself to discuss.

If you have any questions or want a particular class to be taught, please contact me. I am looking forward to some warm, hot weather this summer!
