“As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it is important to invest my time to understand what you are working
toward before you invest your money. Working closely with you, your CPA, attorney, and other professionals, I can help
determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. I can also help with our retirement savings
strategy so you have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do.
As a graduate of the University of Central Florida, I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in business,
graduating summa cum laude. Prior to working at Edward Jones, I worked as a business owner, bookkeeper, and a
pharmaceutical representative. I came to Edward Jones in 2007 because I wanted to help individual investors work
toward achieving their financial goals. I hold Series 7 and Series 66 Licenses and have my broker license in the State
of Maine as well as many states across the nation.”

Youth Swim Lessons
Fall Youth Swim Lessons (GHS Pool) Please see below for individual level descriptions
Parent/Child Swim (30 min)
For parent and child, 6 months to 3 1/2 yrs. The purpose of this class is to familiarize families with the pool and
to begin the process of assimilating your child for swim lessons. This class is not designed to teach children to
survive in the water on their own. The major focus of this class will be to have fun with your child while learning
some of the basics such as proper holds. Instruction will be geared to the parent. A clean swim diaper is required
under a snug fitting bathing suit for children who are not potty trained.
Lessons Information: Children need to follow simple commands from their instructor. Trust is important and
crucial for positive progress. Parents are welcome to watch from the bleachers. Our classes are organized initially
by age (for first time preschoolers) with a ratio of 1:4, instructor to student. For children 6 and up the instructor to
student ratio will depend on the skill group your child is working on. We follow USWIM progressions Level 2 and 3.
See below for skills and for more detail parents can view all the levels on YouTube.
Level 2, Safety Fundamentals, is divided into six Level 3, Stroke Development, is divided into six
skills: skills:
Skill 1 is Breath Control Skill 1 is Streamlined Kick (with face in)
Skill 2 is Streamlined (front) Float Skill 2 is Beginner Freestyle
Skill 3 is Back Float Skill 3 is Pat the Dog
Skill 4 is Dog Paddling (face down) Skill 4 is Freestyle Breathing

shallow end and progresses to the deep end of the pool.

for swimmers who are above level 3. Swimmers will be introduced and taught: Beginning Breaststroke, Butterfly,
Treading Water, Surface Dives, Standing Front Dive & Flip Turns. After this level, swimmers would be encouraged
to join the Seacoast Swim Club.
Swimmers with hair that is 3 inches or longer must wear bathing caps. Available from lifeguards ($5). Goggles are
required in all learn to swim programs. For children as young as 3 learning to wear goggles is as much a part of
the lesson as getting in the water. They should be comfortable and fit properly.
Parents, swimmers and spectators are required to remove shoes before entering the pool area.
