What to Get a Swim Teacher?

Invite her to a really nice home cooked meal. Then give her a couple of cool Life is Good tee-shirts.

What about a gift certificate for a pedicure? It's cheaper than a massage, and being in the pool all the time I'm sure she could use it.

I think you should take a real nice snap shot of your kids and include it with a bouquet of fresh flowers, that way she can enjoy the flowers and have a monento of the kids!

Good luck!

We just finished swim lessons and my kids (ages 7 & 4) and I made their swim teachers cupcakes. We've also done brownies in the past. Our swim teachers are usually older teenagers and appreciate the treats. They always seem to really enjoy having something the kids make -- whether it's food or a picture they painted.

Check out The Sample Bag! They are beautifully wrapped bags of lots of samples from various home business companies - they have lots of different type of bags, for both women and men and also just rolled out teacher bags! They make great gifts for anyone - unwrapping each thing is like opening a Christmas stocking!

For our ball coach we did a 3x4 personalized magnet.
It costs $8 and can have whatever you want on it. You get in about a week from the time that you order. It usually ships the next day. Go to http://J..yoursmh.com and you can make your own. It's easy and fun. If you have any questions, contact me!

What about sunscreen or towel? She uses both!

Hello G. - I would consider bath and body products like a body wash that we use from Origins. It has charcoal to aborb the chlorine from the skin and smells fresh. It's called Skin Diver. We love it after the pool; since it helps to remove the chlorine, our skin doesn't dry out. Just a thought, it's a practical gift that would show you put thought into it. I think she'd really appreciate it. I do most of my shopping online www.origins.com Hope this helps!

I know this isn't an answer for you, but was she a private teacher? My son was taking private lessons and we had to fire the teacher...
What about a massage?

I like the massage idea.

I also agree that you should probably stay away from the water/beach theme.

Maybe a few pictures of some of the kids from the class (including yours of course) in a little scrap book/photo book.

Blessings,

As a preschool teacher, I personally loved gift cards. However, what I found extra special was a note attached from the parent that told me how much they appreciated me and how much their child enjoyed my class. A personalized note really meant a lot.

Sports Academy gift card or cash and some clever item the kids made for packaging with photos.

How about some flowers or a single rose? That's what we gave our daughter's swim coach & she loved it!

A swim teacher does not make a lot of $$....they are probably on minimum wage or similar. A gift card to a restaurant is the gift of time...I am a teacher and I love those....rather than "stuff." Maybe you could put it in a basket full of healthy foods. Good luck.

I'd stay away from the water theme- everyone probably does that-

G.,

Hello I was wanting to know about your swim teacher I have a 9 month old and really want her to take swim lessons in the fall. Does your teacher come to your house? Could I get there name and number? Thanks T.

What about some kind of baked goody? Homemade or store bought. It would show thought, not be too expensive, and something others might not thing of. You could even do roll out cookies in fun water themed shapes if you got adventerous.

Best of luck!

Being she is a water enthusiast, a nice, plush beach towel. I bet you can find one on clearance. Or, maybe some bath/body products for after swimming.
