Hi, my name is Thornton and I've been teaching swim lessons to ages 6 months to adults. I've worked with children for 3 years as a babysitter, a bible study leader, and Best Buddies (a club that provides special needs children with a friend). I am attending UCR and played 3 years of water polo on high school and club teams where I was team captain. I love teaching swimming lessons because it is rewarding to share a passion of mine and to get a child excited to swim.

Hi, Im Tia! Im a swim instructor with experience working with swimmers of all ages, from toddlers as young as 2 to adults up to 30, and across all skill levels. I recently graduated from California State University, Northridge, with a bachelors degree in Kinesiology, where I was also a student athlete on the womens beach volleyball team. Growing up on a small island, I was surrounded by the ocean and began water sports at a young age, becoming a competitive surfer at nine years old while also teaching others along the way. My background as both a coach and lifelong water athlete has taught me how to create lessons that are engaging, fun, and tailored to each swimmers needs. Most of all, I love making the water a safe and fun place where swimmers can grow their confidence and enjoy every splash!

Hi! I am currently a student at UCI, graduating soon! I was a competitive swimmer as a kid. In high school, I was a competitive diver and worked as a lifeguard and youth sports coach, spending a majority of my working time teaching swim lessons for kids, babies, and some adults. I am adaptable and able to teach all swim levels. I can teach all the swim strokes and techniques to improve form and speed in the water, and I can also help those who are newer to the water become more comfortable by teaching basic skills and techniques to move around safely. Safety and technique are very important in the water, but so is fun! Associating trust and fun with swim lessons allows, especially for younger kids, the space to excel quickly.
