8. Something you have Learned or Taken Away from your job?
Through my job, I’ve learned many things, but the thing I appreciate the most is excitement over small things. I’ve learned this through helping my students realize how fixing tiny mistakes about their strokes can make such a big difference. They become more confident with their strokes and are excited to swim, which makes me excited and happy too!
