Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hi all! My name is Jenna, and I have been teaching swimming since February 2020. I began learning to swim around 3-4 years old and have been loving the water (in all forms) ever since. The most gratifying part of this job is to grow with the students, adapt to their needs, and create a safety-first and, of course, fun environment. As parents, it can be exciting but also nerve-racking to see your child deal with discomfort or fear when attempting a new skill. As your possible instructor, I would like to let you know that I am here to listen and understand your child through your lens as well. Swimming is a lifelong skill and a possible sport or hobby that I hope to teach to your children!
