Welcome to Almaden Valley Athletic Club Swim School's blog
I would like to be the first to welcome you to AVAC Swim School's first ever blog. The mission of this blog is to build a community with you, our families, and to continue to communicate on many levels the importance of water safety while giving tips, ideas and information that we have to share. I aim to share our knowledge and love of swimming with all of you.
For those of you who do not know me, my name is Chris Cordova. I have worked in the swim school for the past 8 years and have loved water all my life. My passion for water safety and teaching is something I get to convey at work every day and would love to pass on to you, the readers and our families. Watching the progression of our students and teachers is something that makes my job so enjoyable. So much so, that I have changed my perspective on what I would like to do when I grow up. I bet some of you are wondering what I mean by "when I grow up". I am already an adult, but working with children has made me feel like a kid. Teaching life skills has sparked a passion inside of me that I didn't know existed. I have expanded my knowledge from teaching people of all ages to swim to becoming a certified RedCross Lifeguard/CPR/AED/First aid instructor. My focus is to keep patrons safe by teaching people how to swim and how to prevent injuries in and around water. I guess you could call me the modern day "Aqua Man".
Stay tuned for our next blog where I will offer up tips and ideas to help your swimmer improve their swim strokes without having to step foot in a pool.
From the desk and mind of Chris Cordova, Be safe, respect water and have fun!
