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.

Hi there! I have 20+ years of teaching experience with children 6 months and up (including adults). I provide individualized attention to each student, as each child learns differently. I prioritize water safety while making them gain confidence in the water. I want the children to learn at their own pace- if they're secure in the water, they will become lifetime swimmers! Patience is a key component, and helping students build trust will develop their skills. Happy swimming!

Hello, my name is Evalyn, and a little bit about me: I learned to swim when I was 3 years old (you can never start to learn too early). Ive played competitive water polo for 6 years and participated in competitive swimming for 5 years.

I then started my journey as a swim instructor for the City of Garden Grove, where I taught for 2 years. Ages vary from a little less than 1 year old (Parent and Child Classes) up to 40 years old. I specialize in working with toddlers and younger kids but work well with all ages.

Hi! I recently graduated college, where I played volleyball. Before and while playing volleyball, I was a very competitive swimmer. During high school, I was a lifeguard. Then, directly after, I became a coach and gave private lessons for the following three years. I have been giving private lessons on and off since October 2021 while I have focused on my professional career. I want to continue to help teach children how to be confident and enjoy the water. I love water sports and surfing, so its very important to me to pass it along and have more people playing in the water. My personality is outgoing and energetic. I want everything in life to be fun, so the lesson I will give is fun while very focused to challenge the student.
