She’s been teaching swimmers for over 20 years with a focus on safety, technique and enjoyment. She’s currently instructing at the YMCA and is a high school art teacher.

The Therapy & Fun Caregiver Workshops are free seminars where parents and caretakers receive education and resources that empower them to support their child’s growth at home. Topics covered that these workshops include at-home therapeutic techniques, special education policies, mental health for parents, financial planning and more.  These topics are presented by our staff and experts in the field who want to help families and caregivers cultivate a successful and confident plan to care for themselves and their loved ones.

Caregiver workshops are free and open to the public, regardless of if you’re participating in the Therapy & Fun summer program.
