Experience

As I reflect on my educational experiences I realize how each inspiring position has not only advanced me as an instructor but enhanced me personally.  As one of my GYMSTERS®’ parents said, “Watching you teach has made me a better parent”.  I am humbled if “TUB Swimming” can help make you a better parent.
