If you would like a safety inspection of your pool please contact me. Please be safe. There are too many drownings that may have been prevented.

Ken's Bio

No matter what your age it is never too late to learn how to swim. I worked with a woman who is over 70 and very fit. She did not know how to swim until her 40's. As a matter of fact she was terrified of the water. Today she is an American Red Cross lifeguard as well as a YMCA aquafitness instructor. Because of swimming she is very fit and looks much younger than her age.

I love to teach kids and adults. I have been teaching both adults and kids how to swim in the past several years.

I use positive encouragement when I teach. I want everyone is experience the fun of swimming!

I teach non-swimmers up to intermediate swimmers. 4 year olds to 140 years old.

I am an American Red Cross Certified Water Safety Instructor (needed to teach kids) and an American Red Cross Certified Lifeguard.

Swimming is fun and very relaxing. Swimming is good exercise that promtoes heart health. Swim enough and your mind will emit endorphines - a chemical that gives you a very happy feeling!!!

Ken Rupple Sadly a two year old boy drowned n his family's swimming pool. PLEASE, PLEASE make your pool as safe as possible:Be sure that your pool is inaccessable when not in use. Use its cover, have a fence around the pool which is a NYS law. Be sure that the fence is away from the Have the fence locked and keep the key in a safe, private place, if it's an above ground pool, take down the ladder and put in in a safe place, fence in the entire yard; GET A POOL ALARM!!!

Ken Rupple Ken Rupple "Jacen said it was fun and you were very nice. He said it went by fast and he did learn. Yes, he was so tired at night, great workout! We went in our neighbors pool last night and he went all the way underwater. He held his nose but I believe your one lesson gave him the confidence to try it. I'm hoping he will learn enough to continue to get more confident and just get in the water, swim and have fun... "Sandra K.
