Hello, my name is Hortencia. I specialize in water safety, breath control, and progressive skill-building to build confidence and technique. I have been teaching swim lessons since November 2019, to ages between 4 and 10 years old, and I believe that learning to swim should be a positive and enjoyable experience. I create a fun and supportive environment where students can build confidence and develop their skills at their own pace.

Swimming has been at the center of my life since I was four. It shaped my childhood in Jordan and gave me the opportunity to move to the U.S. at 15 alone to pursue my Olympic and academic goals. I went on to represent Jordan at the World Championships, Asian Games, and regional meets, and later competed as a Division I athletetraining with world-class swimmers and holding Jordanian national and collegiate records. Whats always stayed with me is the impact great coaches had on me. Now, Im focused on passing that forwardhelping kids and adults build confidence in the water and supporting competitive swimmers who want to take their training to the next level.

Hi, my name is Madison! I've been a swim instructor for 7 years. I have experience working with swimmers of all ages (including adults!). I have worked with a variety of students, all at varying levels of swim sufficiency so I understand that each student has different needs and comfortability levels in the water.

Hi! My name is Bre, and Im 22 years old. Ive been in the water for as long as I can remember. I began swim lessons as a toddler and fell in love with swimming. By the age of 7, I was competing on a club team and continued to swim competitively until I was 18. Although I was offered the opportunity to swim in college, I chose to focus on academics at SDSU. I worked as a certified lifeguard and swim instructor at my local pool in Seattle since February 2021, gaining valuable experience in water safety, before I moved to San Diego for college. I have since then kept my connection to the water through teaching private family lessons during the summer and enjoying some laps on my own from time to time.

Hi, my name is Barbie. I am a 3rd year biology student at SDSU. I have taught swimming lessons since February 2022, and I am open to working with any skill levels! I was also a lifeguard for 3 years, and I have a passion for swimming. I am outgoing, patient, and super supportive. I care about pool safety just as much as I care about your child learning how to swim. I normally teach freestyle and backstroke, and I am comfortable teaching in any pool. My teaching techniques involve making a general assessment of how a child behaves in the water and using colorful toys to encourage participation. I am reliable and timely, and I hope to teach some cool children how to swim! I understand the importance of children learning and building stamina to swim.
