About Leslie

As a mom, one of my greatest hopes is that my kids know how much I love them, and that I will always do what I believe is best for them. Protecting them from aquatic accidents was, and is, of utmost importance. Most of our free time and vacations are usually around water: swimming pools, rivers, lakes and oceans. When my kids were younger, our community only offered traditional swim lessons. After investing several years in these lessons, my husband and I were disappointed with the lack of skill and false confidence our boys acquired. Realizing they didn't come away with any skills that could actually save their lives, much less make an afternoon at the pool enjoyable, I became passionate about finding the best way to equip them with the knowledge they would need in order to survive an aquatic accident and to swim effectively.

SuperStar Aquatics is for parents who are willing to stop at nothing to protect their children. Splashing around and having fun in water has it’s place, after you’ve done ALL you can to insure that you’ve armed your children with the skills necessary to survive.

These lessons will transform your child from being totally helpless in the water into a self-reliant, capable swimmer. This transformation will bring relief and peace of mind to you as a parent, and increased confidence and independence to your swimmer. My passion, experience and special rapport with children will insure that your child receives the safest and highest quality instruction possible. You will see results in weeks, not years!

The safety of my own children is what originally motivated me to learn these life-saving skills. In 2008, when I left them and my husband behind for six weeks to undergo intensive hands on training, I had no idea of the impact I could make on other people’s lives. I can’t even describe what it means to know that my sacrifice and training has saved multiple lives from drowning. I am determined and dedicated to join parents of my community in protecting their children from an unnecessary tragedy.
