Instructor Brittany
​
My name is Brittany Merring. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania, with a concentration in Family, Children and Youth, and a minor in Sociology. I have two young children, both whom love to swim. My eldest originally struggled with a fear of the water, and with a lot of encouragement and patience from Miss Allison he has overcome his fears to become a safe swimmer. This led me to want to pursue the opportunity to help other infants and children become safe swimmers, and encourage a love for the water.
