Hi! My name is Caliyah, Cali, and Ive been teaching swim lessons since June 2021. Ive worked with swimmers of all ages, from Mommy & Me classes to adults, and I love helping each student grow more confident and comfortable in the water. I have experience working with beginner swimmers and teaching foundational water safety, as well as strokes. My goal is always to make lessons feel safe, encouraging, and fun while still helping swimmers build real skills. I like to use the first lesson to get to know each swimmer, assess their comfort level, and understand what goals parents have for them. From there, I tailor lessons to fit each childs pace and personality.

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.
