Michael N.

Fountain Valley, California 92708-2333

Sunsational Certified Since 2024

I am a former all-American swimmer who swam all through school. I am currently a foster resource parent with the county, and I have coached age group swimmers at the club level. I have worked with ages 3-18. I believe learning is more successful when it is fun. A student that desires to come back each day will stick with the activity, and then learning comes through repetition. I believe in praise for positive actions and by reinforcing those actions the individual will find success.

My goal is to help each student learn to swim in a way thats fun yet structured because swimming isnt just a sport; its a life skill. Whether youre just starting or building confidence in the water, well work together toward success, one splash at a time.
