Owner · Licensed and certified swim instructor
I’m a licensed and certified swim instructor offering private lessons for ages 3 years through adult. With a lifelong passion for swimming and years of competitive experience—including being part of the U.S. Swim Team—I love helping students gain confidence, safety skills, and joy in the water.
I’m a mom to three children and two stepsons. Our family loves being on the water and enjoys boating and water activities—including surfing, wakeboarding, and kneeboarding—whenever we get the chance. Before teaching swimming, I worked as a preschool teacher, and I still love working with children. I also swim 100 laps every day.
I’m fully licensed and insured, and I work one-on-one with each student to build capable, confident swimmers. I’m dedicated to teaching water safety while making swimming enjoyable for every student. If you don’t see a day or time that works for you, please reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule.
