Why are Aurora swimming lessons so important?
Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the US for children under 14, and in most cases, it happens in just minutes – even when a caregiver is nearby. In fact:
Enrolling your child in swimming lessons is one of the best ways to prevent drowning by teaching them essential water safety skills.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
My swim journey began as a swim instructor at Water World, where I taught lessons for two summers. Working with children of different ages helped me develop patience, adaptability, and strong communication skills. Watching swimmers build confidence and reach their goals made teaching incredibly rewarding and strengthened my passion for helping children learn and stay safe in the water. I am a great swim teacher because I genuinely enjoy working with kids, and helping them feel confident. Im patient, encouraging, and love celebrating small successes. Swimming for the first time can be scary so I try to make it a fun memory that lasts a lifetime! I want every child to leave class feeling proud of themselves and excited to come back.

Hello, my name is Payton. I am 24 years old and have grown up competitive swimming since I was 9 years old. I was also a collegiate swimmer in the US. I am originally from South Africa, and after graduating high school and waiting to start college in the US, I had 9 months to do whatever I wanted to do. I spent my time coaching children between the ages of 215 how to become water safe, as well as teaching them all the different strokes and aspects of competitive swimming. I thoroughly enjoy working with kids and find teaching them extremely rewarding. I cannot wait to be your instructor! If you feel like I would be a good fit, please schedule some lessons.

Commerce City, Colorado 80022
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hello! My name is Lauren and I have been working with kids since I was 15. I have two daughters of my own (16 & 12) and two stepchildren (8 & 6). Thankfully, all of them are great swimmers, through practice, lessons, and lots of water time. I took swim lessons as a child and joined the swim team. Come to find out later, it was because my mom is afraid of the water and never wanted me to be. I am grateful for the ways that she provided opportunities for me to learn and encouraged me to become a great swimmer, and I hope to do the same for your child!
