Why are Belmont 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 2018
My 11 years of competitive swimming experience has led to a highly detailed and practical understanding of stroke technique. After over two years of swim instruction at the Burgess Pool in Menlo Park and later, private lessons around Portola Valley, Palo Alto and Menlo Park, I am able to teach students of all ages to be more comfortable in the water and have a better "feel for the water." I also have years of experience with adults who are complete beginners.

Hi! My name is Josh, and I've been instructing & lifeguarding for three years. I overcame a fear of water before swimming in high school. I have worked with kids and adults of all skill levels and ages. My favorite thing about teaching is seeing students improve. I have also worked with students on the spectrum. Previously, I helped conduct science camps for younger kids on the autism spectrum. I am a senior at Cal studying Data Science and eager to help anyone who wants to improve on swimming :)

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
My name is Madeleine and I have always loved to swim. My mother taught me how to swim, so when I teach others, I am continuing in her tradition. I have experience teaching swimming to children of various ages, starting from infancy, and am raising my own baby who is coming up on a year. We are doing lots of swimming, of course! My teaching philosophy is centered around providing appropriate challenges for children and helping them push their boundaries in a healthy, gentle, encouraging manner. I enjoy providing opportunities for children to be brave, as well as fall in love with the art and practice of swimming. I look forward to teaching water safety and supporting swim stroke development with your child (and with you!) while having a glorious time in the water! So grab your fins and lets get swimming!

My strong connection with water and children has deeply influenced my career. From babysitter to in-home nanny, I found my passion for nurturing young minds. As a private swim coach for ages 1 to adults, I enjoy teaching swimming skills and building confidence around water. Since February 2021, I have specialized in swim lessons for children needing extra support.
