Hello, my name is Manny Madla. I became a swim instructor later in life. I am 59 years old. I have always loved swimming, and it's my favorite way to stay fit. In March 2023, I became a Deep End Fitness instructor and discovered that I have a real knack for teaching new swimmers. I became a swim instructor at the Y and found continued success teaching adult beginners and kids from infants to elementary age. I am an excellent swim teacher because I am a dad (two kids, one in college and one in high school), I have a deep knowledge of swimming technique, I am creative, empathetic, and very patient. It is very fulfilling for me to help kids and adults overcome fears and learn how to survive and thrive in water. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi! My name is Trivonne. Ive been around the aquatics community for over 12 years. When I was 8, I joined a competitive swim team and quickly found a love for the water and the sport. In June 2021, I started teaching swim lessons, and in January 2023, I transitioned into coaching as well. Over the past 4 years, Ive been fortunate enough to have taught ages ranging from 6 months to adults, including special needs, and beginners to swim team. I believe that learning how to swim can be fun and exciting, not just a life lesson. I have learned that every kid has their own unique way of learning, and my goal is to adapt to their specific needs. Whether youre interested in learning only water safety skills or becoming a competitive swimmer, I am happy to assist you!
