Hi, Im Marlene! Ive been teaching swim lessons since I was 18 years old and have experience with both the City of Carson and the YMCA in San Diego County. I teach swimmers of all ages, from infants as young as 6 months old to adults, and tailor lessons to each students individual needs and goals.

Hi, I'm Lizzy! My love for the water started as a competitive swimmer. Over the years, that passion grew into a career in aquatics from lifeguarding at country clubs, Walt Disney World resorts, and water parks to coaching age-group swimmers (614) as a USA Swimming certified team coach. Today, I focus on private, one-on-one swim instruction for children of all ages. Safety is always my number one priority but making sure your child has fun is a very close second. I use games and creative activities to turn every lesson into an adventure. When kids are laughing and engaged, confidence in the water follows naturally. I can't wait to meet your little swimmer!

My name is Graciela, but you can call me Ms. G. I have taught children and adults swim basics and love the water. Water safety is my priority, and teaching swimming is my passion. I started as a lifeguard working in my hometown of Carson, California, then I loved that so much that I got certified as a water safety instructor through the American Red Cross at Torrance, California Plunge. I began teaching professionally at South Bay Aquatics in Redondo Beach, California. I taught from ages 18 months to Adults and love to show people how to swim. I believe that swimming is a skill that everyone should have, and I know that it will benefit those who learn for the rest of their lives. Once you learn, you will have a special skill.
