Sunsational Vetted Since 2022

Hi, my name is Jami and I have been teaching swim lessons for 35 years with ages from infant through adult. I have taught Special Education for the last 28 years. I have both a BS and MS in Special Education from CMSU. I love teaching swim so that I know that people are safe and comfortable around water.

Trevor W.

Kansas City, Missouri 64155

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

Hello! My name is Trevor Woehrman, and Ive spent countless hours on the pool deck and in the water. I began swimming competitively when I was 5 years old until I was 18 and went off to college. Later in high school and in my early college years, I taught hundreds of kids to swim from ages 2 to 18. For the past 9 years, I have been coaching high school swimming at Kearney High School, with 4 of those years as the head coach. My favorite memories from when I was a kid are from my time spent at the pool training as well as spending time with family and friends. I love working with kids, and I look forward to the opportunity to teach more kids how to swim so that they can enjoy their time in the water and make their own memories just like I did.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

Hi, my name is Emma, and I have been teaching swimming lessons since December 2022. I began my journey as a lifeguard, and within six months, transitioned into teaching. Since then, I have worked with individuals of all ages and skill levels, from parent and child classes to senior adults, in both group settings and private, one-on-one lessons. I also specialize in working with children on the autism spectrum. I am truly passionate about teaching and take great pride in helping others learn and grow.

Hanna T.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025

Swimming is an essential, potentially life-saving skill. I learned to swim at a young age through our local YMCA. Now, as an adult, I am a certified swim instructor passionate about teaching safety around water skills. The most rewarding part is seeing a student's face light up as they lose any fears and gain new skills. I work with all levels of swimmers but particularly love the experience with non-swimmers and beginners.

Hello all! My name is Kennedy. I have been instructing since March 2022, and I swam competitively for 12 years! Aquatics is my passion, and I love working with children and adults in the hopes of developing them to become amazing swimmers. I love to travel, hike, and (you guessed it) swim in my free time! I cant wait to work with you and help you accomplish your goals for either yourself or your little one :)

Kayla N.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I have been teaching swim lessons since May 2019! I started out as a lifeguard at age 16, teaching all of the classes our local pool had to offer. This ranged from 5 months to 10-12 years. I am now 23 and have been blessed with my wonderful 2-year-old nephew, with whom I have had the absolute pleasure of starting lessons. This is exactly what sparked that passion I had as a teen for teaching young ones to swim! Learning to swim is an extremely important life skill that I believe can be taught successfully at any age. I will always make learning in the water fun and enjoyable while guaranteeing your child is safe and properly educated.

I have been a head lifeguard since 2023 and have worked at multiple facilities in this role. I am a Biology student at UMKC, finishing up my last semester this fall. I love teaching swim lessons and being able to see improvement from each lesson, and I look forward to working with you!
