Hi, Im Kai, a swim instructor with several years of experience working with students of all ages and skill levels. I focus on building confidence in the water first, then developing strong technique so swimmers can progress quickly and safely. Ive taught both private and semi-private lessons, and I tailor every session to the individual. Whether your child is just getting comfortable in the water or working on refining strokes, I adjust my approach to match their pace and goals. I also have a background in coaching youth sports, so I know how to keep kids engaged, motivated, and improving while still making lessons fun. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure both students and parents feel confident every step of the way.

My name is Claire! I've been coaching for 9+ years and I absolutely love it. I started my swimming journey at 5 years old on my local summer team and continued with Aquazot Swim Club and my high school team, where I served as captain and qualified for CIF all four years. I went on to compete for my college team and continued to train. This developed my deep understanding of technique, discipline, and the importance of consistent effort. Ive taught ages 18 months to 72 years and Ive thoroughly enjoyed teaching every single one of my students. Coaching has always been one of my passions, and water safety is a top priority for me. I'm excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with the next generation of swimmers!"
