Help: Swim lessons for young child
Our 4 ˝ year old granddaughter will be visiting us the first two weeks in July and we're hoping to find someone experienced & personable to teach her how to swim. We were very lucky to find a terrific young nursing student who made a start at our condo beach on Lake Wentworth last summer — fewer lessons than planned due to weather — but will be doing nurse stuff in Boston this summer.
I'd be very grateful for recommendations with contact info either by reply here or private message. Our granddaughter has been so looking forward to continuing swim lessons and we really hate to disappoint her! |

Sandwich Aquatic School had a stellar reputation and were in business for over 50 years. They are closed now, but I found one name, Katie George, who used to teach there. She may be able to help you, or know someone else who could.
She is on LinkedIn. She states that she is a swim instructor now. |

Thank you. I found her on Linked In but have no way to reach her because I'm not a member and her public entry has no contact info. I also Googled her in hopes an Instagram or Twitter would pop up because I'm on those, but no such luck.

My suggestion is to do-it-yourself. What I did with my kids was to get them to jump in the water with the life jacket on, Let them swim around, Take away the life jacket and give him a noodle, Take away the noodle, Stay in the water with them, Give them credit they will get it.

.... NO swim instruction at Mid-State Health pool, Plymouth?
Located in Plymouth, close to Walmart, up top the hill, on the left, the swimming instructions for young children have yet to re-open at the Mid-State Health pool.
From the Mid-State web site: "Until further notice, all group aqua classes and children's swim lessons have been suspended following the CDC guidelines to limit exposure of COVID-19." http://www.midstatehealth.org/servic...s-and-fitness/ .... you know, me-thinks that is swim instructor, LIZ, in the two-tone, lite blue-dark blue swim suit in this watery, pool photograph! Mid-State should return LIZ back to their pool. From 2014 to the pandemic closing for swim instruction in March, 2020, they had a terrific swim instructor named LIZ. So, where is LIZ and when will MID-STATE reopen for swim lessons and aquatic exercise classes and will MID-STATE be rehiring swim instructor, LIZ? ..... LIZ always has a strong loud voice, and about five tons of positive energy! ....

I suspect she's not looking for swim students because if she were she'd make herself more visible. |

Might be worth it to create a quick account on Linkedin and DM (Direct Message) her explaining your story and if she's interested, I'm sure she'll return your message. |

Not an expert here but I believe there are swimming lessons given at the 19 mile bay town beach Tuftonboro. Maybe try the town offices for info.

Hello Brownstone. My wife teaches private swim lessons each summer out of the Meredith area. Wentworth might be a challenge given the distance however. That aside, she’s great, has all the proper certifications in place and has been teaching for ten years or more. She teaches all ages but mostly young children. I’m sure she would be happy to discuss with you. PM me your contact info if you’d like me to connect the two of you.

Thanks. Already tried Wolfeboro & Tuftonboro town offices; Wolfeboro's lessons filled up long ago and the Recs & Parks person didn't know of anyone offering private lessons, left message at Tuftonboro, waiting to hear back.
