The Water Whisperer
What makes this school different than others is that it was formed by local Valley mom Emily Cohen - an experienced teacher (with a Masters in Education as well as a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential) both in and out of the water. The Water Whisperer is one of the only schools in the Valley to be a member of the United States Swim School Association! Her school follows all of the current guidelines and teaching techniques of the Association. The Water Whisperer teaches children who have never been in the water and who fear water, as well as kids with special needs and just plain regular children and adults. The Water Whisperer is highly known for getting people to swim in a short time while they learn water safety skills. The school encourages children to develop creatively as they form their own swimming style. Ultimately, The Water Whisperer's students learn to love the water-and have fun it- as they meet their swimming goals. To sign up and learn more about The Water Whisperer's unique approach and philosophy, visit www.thewaterwhisperer.com - MAKE SURE YOU SEE THE VIDEO.

Then the tour proceeds to Whole Foods to refuel with a Larabar and an electrolyte beverage and to walk the perimeter of the store aisles, highlighting healthy and natural foods. They will resume by heading to the 3rd Street Promenade and Main St. for lunch. Workouts will be led Karen Jashinsky, Shirley Brown AND some of Hollywood's top trainers and other top fitness instructor such as Ashley Conrad, Michael George and others will be joining us along with Amy Dixon, the group exercise manager from Equinox Fitness.
