Yoaska is AWESOME! I am an adult who never learned to swim, and recently moved to South Florida. I’d taken some lessons before, but never felt comfortable in the water. After moving here, I tried a couple of instructors, but still couldn’t shake the nervous in the water feeling. During my search, I discovered Yoaska. She is AMAZING, and here’s why: 1) Yoaska teaches the importance of first learning to breathe in the water and be comfortable in that environment before moving on to the next step of swimming in it(learn to walk before you can run). 2) She’s sincere, caring, nurturing. Understands the client’s fears, builds trust and encourages the client to push past the fear in a positive manner. I’ve seen her work with kids, and they absolutely love her too. She just has that motherly, caring attitude and kids naturally feel comfortable with her. I could not ask for a better instructor. You won’t be sorry you gave her a try.
