May 18, 2015. We are very happy to have Nelson Benning as a Swim Instructor here at Splash! Here are some of his experiences & goals as a swim instructor, in his own words; “I have an extensive aquatic background, including 6 years of competitive swimming. I have a very strong passion for teaching kids, and I have experience working with individuals with special needs. Incorporating my love for kids and teaching, along with being in a pool setting, makes this job extremely rewarding! I love being able to connect with each and every one of the students, whether they are in my class or not. To be a good teacher, you really have to connect with the kids and gain their trust. During class, I try to keep things moving, but I also love to have fun! I focus on helping kids relax in class and feel comfortable. I look forward to helping your kids succeed and become proficient little swimmers. I am a graduate of Port Washington High School and will be attending Hope College in Holland, Michigan this fall.”
