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!

Hi, Im Ivory Rose! Swimming has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I love helping others build confidence and joy in the water. I have been teaching swimmers since December 2019, for all ages, from infants as young as 2 months old to adults. I am also a certified deep water lifeguard, so safety is the foundation of my instruction. I first became an established swim instructor at Watersprites, the swim school of Olympic silver medalist Haley Cope, where I was directly trained by her and her staff. This structured training shaped my ability to tailor each lesson to the swimmer, meeting swimmers where they are and helping them progress at a comfortable, sustainable pace. Lets connect and build a swim plan that works for you!
