Hello! My name is Sophia Cramer, and I am excited to be your swim instructor! I began swimming on my local summer swim team when I was 5 years old and began swimming year-round soon after. I swam competitively for a total of 12 years and have remained a member of the swimming community through lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons. I have experience teaching students aged one and above. In my opinion, a perfect lesson pushes and empowers kids to face their fears and improve their swimming skills while incorporating fun, personalized games!

Chelsea H.

Rockville, Maryland 20852

Certification N/A

Hello, I'm Chelsea, an experienced competitive swimmer and swim instructor for students of all abilities since February 2016. I have a lifelong passion for swimming and believe in sharing the skills required to safely engage with the pool. While many skills are safety-oriented, safety is extremely important and is best taught by making it fun while still taking it seriously. Children learn to safely face the water with courage if the water isn't scary. This is ultimately much safer and inspires a lasting love of swimming. I take a personalized approach to all different learners, varying my personal progression and consistently hitting key swim milestones, which makes me a great teacher for any learner.
