His last two years of high school, he became the assistant coach for Colonial Country Club and helped coach age groups from 7 and under to 15-16. There, he also gave private coaching sessions to help work on the technical aspects and stroke refinement.
Lesson Info/Cost
I recommend 2 sessions a week for 4 months to ensure swimmer has enough repetition and muscle memory to maintain what they have learned. Each lesson will be $37 and includes pool and locker room usage. Lesson length will vary based on level of swimmer and age. You can typically plan on about a 30 minute session. Lessons will be held at the Jefferson City Community Center in Jefferson City, TN.
