PRIVATE + SEMI-PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS:
PRIVATE LESSONS
Each 30 minute session is scheduled at your convenience. Private lessons are structured to meet the individual’s needs and goals. The time spent one-on-one with a child typically allows them to progress more quickly than a group setting.

SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS
An alternative to group or private lessons, semi-private lessons consist of 2 clients and are also 30 minute sessions scheduled at your convenience. Semi-private lessons are perfect for families with more than one child learning to swim, or close friends looking for a more intimate learning environment.

MEET THE INSTRUCTORS:
DEANA SANSING
Having grown up in Texas (B.S., University of Texas 1978), I have always loved the water! I attended aqua classes at River Valley for three years before becoming an instructor in 2011, after earning my AFPA Aqua Certification and Peyow Aqua Pilates Certification. Fitness is important to me because I scuba dive and want to increase bone density.

BRIAN STIRLING
HydroCrossFit Instructor
As a student athlete at Washington and Lee University, I pushed myself to be the best athlete I could be. Despite a few chronic injuries, I still managed to qualify for DIII NCAA’s three times, attain five All-American titles, and eventually receive the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. Therefore, I’m a firm believer that by coming up with a well-developed, concrete plan, the sky is the limit as long as you hold true to what you want to achieve. I have a distinctive, motivational teaching style embodied by my years of training. Please join me in my classes if you’re looking for a fun way to improve your technique, build endurance, get faster, or develop that swimmer body everyone raves about!

DONNA SCHLOSSER
AEA, Group Exercise Instructor
When the River Valley Club opened its doors in 1998, I joined quickly and soon found that Aqua Aerobics was a fantastic way to exercise and unwind in the evening. I had always secretly wanted to become an aerobics instructor, so in 2005 I completed the requirements to become certified to teach Aqua Aerobics through the American Exercise Association. I love to teach and often use my creative background to find new routines that are effective, and most of all, FUN! Meet me in the pool!

KERRY ROSENTHAL
I love teaching aquatic aerobics. First and foremost, it is fun (and we will do what is fun!) and it is a miraculous way to bring vigorous movement to anyone with injuries, joint pain or other issues that interfere with getting aerobic exercise. When I’m not teaching at RVC, I’m an educational consultant and a musician, teaching guitar and using music as therapy for seniors and others.
