Why our students and parents love us!
5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike
Over there summer we had instructor Marianela (Nela) Marquina, teach our little Lorenzo swimming lessons. I was blown away by how prepared she was. She came equipped with toys and patience. Lorenzo never had an issue with water, as a matter of fact he has an affinity for water, which is the reason why we wanted to give him lessons. By the end of our time with Nela, Lorenzo was closing his mouth and holding his breath underwater, and successfully reaching the walls of the pool. We were thoroughly impressed with his progress with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to show their babies the first lessons of swimming.

Hello, my name is Brandon. I am a former YMCA employee with experience teaching children since June 2019. I am an energetic and fun-loving individual with a keen eye for safety. As a young boy, I remember learning how to swim in a community pool; those skills that I learned have truly followed me throughout my entire life. Because of these skills, Ive been able to do many things that I wouldnt have been able to otherwise, such as snorkeling or scuba diving, which have been an incredible source of joy in my life. When I got older and finished college, thats when I decided to work a few summers for the YMCA. Thats when I truly found out how beautiful it is to teach the youth this life skill.

Our core service is providing private, at-home swim lessons. Your trained instructor travels to your home pool, community pool or aquatic facility anywhere in Coral Gables or across Miami-Dade. If you don't have a pool, our instructors are happy to meet you at any safe, local pool of your choosing.

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.
