                     About me

 

Hi! My name is Lesley Burke.  I am a Retired Mansfield Physical Education teacher with a degree in Kinesiology from Texas A&M University.  I taught Physical Education for 30 years with the last 18 in Mansfield.   I have taught swimming lessons for 20 years. I am also an avid runner and triathlete and competed and finished 4 Full Ironmans, including the World Championships in Kona , Hawaii in October 2022.  It was a dream come true!!  

I enjoy teaching kids to swim because I feel like it's a valuable life lesson that needs to be learned by everyone to ensure safety and confidence around water.  I take pride in teaching kids correct form from Day 1.  Correct form should be reached by every child so that swimming feels easier.  I can continue to progress each student into learning new strokes if they conquer the basics of proper form first before advancing to new strokes. 

Dedicated to Teaching Individuals to Swim Confidently
