We hired Temple 2 summers ago to teach our 3 year old son to swim, as his grandparents have a non-fenced in pool. She was so great with him and made him feel comfortable right away, using fun toys to dive for and making up games. After just a few lessons, his progress was amazing. We hired her again last summer to continue and he is now swimming like a fish! We look forward to starting again this summer to perfect his swim strokes. I would recommend Temple to anyone wanting to learn how to swim or perfect their technique!

My friend and I took lessons from Temple to learn how to swim. We never had swimming lessons as kids, and she was very kind and also patient to make sure we understood her instructions, and overcome the fear of water. She took her time to explain what we were doing incorrectly, and show how to do them correctly while making it easier for us to understand why subtle differences make the difference. I highly recommend Temple to anyone who wants to learn!

Temple, who is a founder of MerMade Aquatics, is a great swimming instructor.I was very afraid of water and I had never expected that I could swim in deep water.But, after her lessons, I could perform all types of swimming including butterfly, even if I had never practiced swimming before.She is very patient and nice so that I could practice swimming very well and began to love swimming.I believe that she is the best swimming instructor to all levels of swimmers.

I needed help to improve my swim strokes and general skills for my triathlon/ironman event. Only after a few lessons from Temple, I am now able to swim faster, more relax with confidence. That helped me greatly with my swim course in my triathlon event. She is a very patient teacher and I greatly appreciate her help. I highly recommend her.

I have been taking my step-son to Temple for over six months, and the improvement in his strokes and swim times were immediate. My step-son is a high-school level swimmer, and I would highly recommend Temple to anyone interesed in improving their technique and dropping their swim times. She is very knowledgeable and a great instructor.

Worked with Temple to brush up on my swimming skills prior to heading to Costa Rica. Over a period of time she rebuilt my swim stroke along with teaching new techniques to help ensure comfort in the open ocean. Very patient instructor (its not easy teaching students who are in their mid-40s) and I highly recommend her!
