Hi! My name is Jessie, and I have been teaching swim lessons to all different ages and ability levels since January 2016. Ive had a passion for water sports my entire life. Growing up in Colorado, summer days were spent at the lake or local water park. I moved to Florida in January 2024 to continue my career as well as to spend time on the water year-round. When Im not working, you will find me either on the water, spending time with kids, or both! I have worked with kids as young as 6 months all the way through adults. In addition to swim lessons, I have worked with kids in many different settings, including summer camp! Its amazing to be able to teach such a lifelong skill! I cant wait to work with you and your family soon!

Certification N/A
Hello. My name is Shelley! I have been Red Cross WSI certified since February 2022. I have taught water babies all the way to group lessons and private lessons for children aged 3-12. I taught lessons at the FGCU Aquatics Center, the Sanibel Rec Center, and independently as well. I love working with children and am excited about the opportunity to work with families and their little ones to develop their swim skills! Apart from WSI teaching, I was also a lifeguard from May 2021 to February 2025. I worked both at the FGCU and Sanibel Rec Center during that time. While I did not grow up as a swimmer who competed, my mother had her ISR certification and taught me not only how to swim but also how to swim safely. I hope to do the same for all of you!

For baby and some toddler lessons, parent participation is encouraged for building water comfort. For older children (typically ages 2+), parents are not specifically encouraged to be in the water, as our one-on-one private instruction is designed to build independence. However, we always require a responsible adult to be present on the premises for all lessons with minors. 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.
