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.

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.
