Swim With Gale
If You Try, You Can Do It!
A Few Words From Gale
Water is a unique modality. A strong foundation for learning to swim starts with respect for the water environment and its unique power and limitations. My initial goal is to help you understand this environment, its rules, and your own ability to find personal control within it. Ultimately, you will learn how to be safe while building your own psychological and physical strength.
I instill confidence by empowering you to never give up. Everyone learns at their own pace. Everyone's progress is personal to their own strengths and the effort they put in.
Lessons are personalized, designed to progress with your unique strengths and areas of development. I personally work with you at your current level, free of distractions or the confusion of multiple instructors. Lessons move at a smooth, yet progressive, pace which develops confidence and a life-long love of swimming!
For 40+ years, I have taught and coached beginning swimmers through advanced swimming and springboard diving. I teach infants through adults. I teach new swimmers to become proficient with the basics: getting in and out of the water quickly and safely, building water confidence, and identifying water dangers. I work with high school students and adults brushing up on their water safety skills and technique. I help more advanced swimmers perfect their strokes, build speed, and increase precision. I help veterans and seniors find a safe way to add exercise to their lifestyle.
You are never too old or too young to learn to swim!
Here are a few of my service beliefs:
~ Teaching your kids how to swim is as important as learning other basic life skills. According to the CDC, drowning is a leading cause of unintentional injury and death worldwide and the highest rates are among children. Therefore, I believe learning to swim is a mandatory life-saving skill!
~ Everyone can learn how to swim! I specialize in working with students who fear the water, no matter their age. Do you or one of your kids have aquaphobia? I will help you relax and enjoy being in and around the water while increasing your swimming confidence and aquatic skills.
~ Learning in a positive and joyful atmosphere makes a lasting memory. Learning is easier and makes a greater impact on muscle memory when acquired in a “fun” environment. All our lessons and activities are geared around this infusion of joy and positive experiences.
~ Every student has different levels of ability. The challenges of special needs individuals are welcomed with care and understanding. We will work with every student to meet their current emotional and physical aptitude and create a safe progressive plan for water safety and empowerment.
If you have been waiting to learn, or you want to get your child started, reach out today! I will be with you every step of the way towards becoming a stronger, safer and happier swimmer.

“Even an expert was once a beginner”
“We are so grateful for you! Swimming was always my least favorite activity at camp - and it is her favorite. The best part is her confidence and knowing she can do it. She came home with a yellow wristband at first and was totally cool with it - but then last week, she came home one day and said she asked to retest again to show them she could do it! And she did!! I can’t wait to give Tatum the same strong foundation! I have a feeling she’ll be a quick study... She already loves going under and jumping in!!!”

“OMG... Gale worked with my two youngest children... 10 and 4 years old. I was as nervous as I could possibly be... She helped my ten-year-old ( who was very uncomfortable around the water) become a MUCH stronger swimmer ... With my four-year-old....( who had never swum alone ) within a month or so... I was amazed to see him completely SAFE around the water.... and even showing me what he could do!!! Gale has a saying... If you try ... You CAN DO IT... to this day ... when he is nervous about something... He says.... IF I TRY .... I can do it. Thank you, Gale... for everything... The Ulrich Family”

“I’m so happy to share with you that Nathan told me about his session today with a big smile. Once again you helped him face his fears with success. He is looking forward to returning on Wednesday.
You have such a gift helping people with anxieties. Thank you again so much for your help :)
My Mom is also convinced that it is not to late for her to learn. Anything is possible with you.”
