Tarah

Sutton Swim School's staff and students want to issue a warm welcome back to Tarah! Tarah just returned from an amazing 41 day adventure traveling through Italy and the Greek Islands. Tarah has a passion for travel and is already planning her next trip to Honduras in December.

Tarah has been with Sutton Swim School since May of 2004 and is employee #4. Tarah has been exclusively trained and mentored by Paula Sutton. Tarah started her career at Sutton as a swim instructor, like all Sutton staff members.

Tarah takes her role at Sutton to heart and has made it her personal mission to not only maintain the Sutton Swim School reputation for excellence, but to continue to exceed it! Tarah, at her own initiative, took it upon herself to develop a finely tuned system of training new instructors. Tarah also continues to assist Paula with the on going training of current instructors, which has been our trademark here at Sutton Swim.

Through her tremendous dedication, creative innovation, and precision skills, Tarah developed and now manages The Sutton Swim School Training Department. Tarah currently has a team of supervisors and Gold level instructors to assist her in striving to produce the highest quality of swim instructor.

Melody

Teacher Melody has the unique distinction of being the mother of Teacher Jessica, the first teacher ever hired by the Sutton Swim School. Paula Sutton saw Melody's natural potential and recruited her to teach over 6 years ago. She has been our most requested teacher since. Her compassion and patience with her students has created a loyal following of families who have been with her for years.
