Hi! I've been teaching lessons since February 2022. I spent several years as a lifeguard each summer in my teenage years, and I took swim lessons, participated in swim team, or just had fun at the pool all the time growing up. I'm a lifeguard instructor and love the water! My two boys and I love to swim and play together, and I'd like you to feel comfortable doing the same and to be safe! I've worked with all kinds of kids, age groups, and adults as well. I'd love to help you and your loved ones become confident swimmers so that you can be safe and enjoy yourselves wherever or whenever that may be!

I'm an ex-competitive swimmer who still loves being in the water. My strokes were butterfly and Individual medley. I enjoy teaching people how to swim from beginners to advanced swimmers (we can work on tweaking body mechanics to increase speed and efficiency in the water). I have experience instructing ages 2 years old through adults. I've been a swim coach, pool manager, swim instructor, and lifeguard, but am now professionally a nurse looking for a side gig away from the hospital.

Hi, my name is Marcella and I've been a swim instructor since 1995. I teach all ages but my favorite students are young children because taking them on the journey of reluctance or fear of water to being safe while having fun in the water is very gratifying. While employed at a community foundation for DD adults, my favorite part of the curriculum was "swim day". Teaching students how to have fun in the water while placing safety first has always been my priority.

Certification N/A
Hello! My name is Charyl Moran, and I love to swim, but that was not an innate process for me. I almost drowned when I was 5 years old. Thankfully, my older sister heard me struggling and came to my rescue. I am a strong swimmer now, and I 100% believe that anyone can learn to swim no matter what their previous experiences or fears have been. My objective is to give the student their own personal set of skills to overcome fear(s) and feel confident in the water. That is, confidence with safety and respect for water. I really look forward to the opportunity to teach you and/or your loved ones. There is nothing better than seeing a student progress and finally swim like a fish! Thank you, Charyl Moran

For baby and some toddler lessons, parent participation is encouraged for building water comfort. For older children (typically ages 2+), parents are not specifically encouraged to be in the water, as our one-on-one private instruction is designed to build independence. However, we always require a responsible adult to be present on the premises for all lessons with minors. If you have specific preferences or concerns, our team is happy to accommodate them in your registration. We tailor each lesson to your comfort and goals.
