Hi! I'm Bella, and I've been passionate about swimming since before I could walk, lol. I started competing in 2002 and qualified for State my first year and Junior Olympics my second year. I work with both children and adults and have been working in professional childcare and nannying since September 2009. This includes experience working with different personalities, learning styles, and special needs. It's important to me that everyone feels not only safe but confident and truly comfortable in the water while building strong technique and lifelong skills. I believe swimming should be something people enjoy, not fear. If you're brand new to the water, overcoming anxiety, learning safety skills, or improving techniques, I can help. This is truly my passion :)

This is the best swimming experience for both you and your kids because it combines professional individualized teaching with a comfortable home setting. I've taught pre-schoolers, beginners, and advanced leveled swimmers. It is my strong belief that swimming should be fun for kids and every child should learn to be safe around water. I am a Red Cross Certified Water Safety Instructor and swam competitively. Kids who haven't progressed in other lessons will thrive with the right instructor :)

Hi, my name is Ben, and I have taught swim lessons since June 2017, with ages ranging from 2 to adults. I have also coached a swim team (ages 4-15) for multiple years. Personally, I have loved swimming since I was very young and was on the swim/dive team in high school. Currently, I am pursuing an MS in aerospace engineering remotely through Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The best part of teaching swimming for me is seeing the students grow confident in their skills and get excited about swimming!
