Caliyah B.

Charlotte, North Carolina 28206

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

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.
