Hello everyone! My name is Monica Gayed! I am a newly graduated Family Medicine Doctor. I have been swimming competitively since I was 4 years old, in Cairo, Egypt, to here in California.

Hi! My name is Assietou, and Im passionate about helping students feel confident and safe in the water. I previously worked at Aqua-Tots Swim School, where I taught swimmers of different ages and skill levels, from beginners to more advanced students. Swimming has always been an important part of my life because I learned how to swim myself and understand both the challenges and the excitement that come with learning. I focus on creating a positive, patient, and encouraging environment so every student can progress at their own pace while having fun. I also speak both English and French, which helps me communicate comfortably with bilingual families and students. I look forward to helping you or your child become stronger and more confident since January 2021.

Swimming has been at the center of my life since I was four. It shaped my childhood in Jordan and gave me the opportunity to move to the U.S. at 15 alone to pursue my Olympic and academic goals. I went on to represent Jordan at the World Championships, Asian Games, and regional meets, and later competed as a Division I athletetraining with world-class swimmers and holding Jordanian national and collegiate records. Whats always stayed with me is the impact great coaches had on me. Now, Im focused on passing that forwardhelping kids and adults build confidence in the water and supporting competitive swimmers who want to take their training to the next level.

Hi. My name is Angelique Vibbard. Im a mother of three beautiful daughters (23, 19, 17). I think pool safety is very important, and Ive taught my girls all about pool safety and how to swim since they were infants. I used to be a preschool teacher for over ten years, and Im now a Special Education Teacher teaching mild/moderate students at a charter school in East County. I cant wait to help your child experience the joy of swimming by focusing on proper technique, water safety, and building confidence. Im certified in CPR/First Aid. The best moment for me is when a new swimmer realizes they can float, glide, or swim on their own.

Hi! My name is Bre, and Im 22 years old. Ive been in the water for as long as I can remember. I began swim lessons as a toddler and fell in love with swimming. By the age of 7, I was competing on a club team and continued to swim competitively until I was 18. Although I was offered the opportunity to swim in college, I chose to focus on academics at SDSU. I worked as a certified lifeguard and swim instructor at my local pool in Seattle since February 2021, gaining valuable experience in water safety, before I moved to San Diego for college. I have since then kept my connection to the water through teaching private family lessons during the summer and enjoying some laps on my own from time to time.
