A lifelong swimmer since the age of 5, I never thought my career would involve swimming. It was only after I decided to stay home with my kids that I got involved with my community swim team that was just getting organized. A few short years later I discovered that the pool was my calling and I started my new career.
I have taught and coached at several levels over the last 20 years including: Learn-to-Swim, Summer League & USA Swimming Teams as well as US Masters. I am a USA Swimming Certified Coach with my American Swim Coaches Association Level 3 Education Certification. I started our community’s swim team in 2005 and continue coaching both at the Age Group as well as High School levels for many years. I spent the last 10 years overseeing and growing award winning Aquatics Programs for LifeTime Athletic, USFitness (formerly Sport&Health) and Kids First Swim Schools. I have come full circle to lead LetSwim into its next phase.

I started instructing while serving in the Marine Corps over 25 years ago. This set the stage many years later when I began teaching part-time for Kids First Swim Schools. Shortly thereafter, I became a successful swim school Manager for Kids First and then their DC District Manager. I was instrumental in assisting the Kids First Corporate office in hiring, training and opening more than 25 schools in the mid Atlantic region. Now as the co-owner of LetSwim, I am excited to bring my years of teaching and managing experience to your community.

Ethan treasures the opportunity to teach children to not only learn to swim, but to also feel confident and successful, both in and out of the water. Ethan began his swimming career when he was 5 months old. His grandfather (former swim team coach and swim instructor) gave him his first lesson. His love for swimming and the water grew as he spent each of his summers on the family lake in Michigan. He is currently a Senior at Battlefield High School and has had the privilege of working with children of various ages during his previous years of coaching and volunteering. His patient, encouraging style of teaching, teamed with his understanding and firsthand knowledge of special needs learners makes him a perfect fit for any child who may benefit from a little extra support and compassion. Ethan looks forward to the opportunity of working with you and your child. In his spare time Ethan also enjoys playing Tennis, Golf, Basketball, and hiking with his 3 rescue dogs. His favorite strokes are freestyle and backstroke.
