Safe Swimming!

It's summer time!  School is out, and you will probably be visiting the pool or lake sometime in the near future.  Don't forget to be safe in the water - in the US, the state of Texas loses the highest number of children per year to drowning.

Instructor of the Week: Emily

This week's Instructor of the Week is Emily Equitz!

Emily is a second year instructor with Sugar Land Swim School.  She is a highly valued and very talented instructor, especially with Learn to Swim classes.  Emily's outgoing personality helps to put her students at ease as they learn to swim.  It is not uncommon for a swimmer who is completely terrified of the water to be an amazing swimmer once they have finished with her class.

Congratulations Emily!

It's time for another Instructor of the Week!

This week's Instructor highlight goes to Charlie Wort.  This is Charlie's second summer with Sugar Land Swim School, and we are definitely happy to have him on our team.  This past week, Charlie has served as a substitute instructor for two different classes.  Although he was not the main instructor for the classes, he took the time to learn the swimmers' names, challenged them to work hard, and kept the atmosphere fun throughout the lessons.

Well done Charlie!
