Kent, Washington 98032
Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hi! Im Jeni, and Im dedicated to making swimming accessible for everyone. I believe that the water should be a place of joy, not fear. Fear often comes from a lack of control. My goal as an instructor is to give that control back to the swimmer. I understand that for a nervous beginner, 'just blowing bubbles' can feel like a mountain to climb. I focus on building a relationship of trust first, using gentle, step-by-step techniques to de-mystify the water. What to expect in my lessons: Patience: go at students' pace. Zero Pressure: consent based. Technical Clarity: how and why. I believe it is never too early, and never too late, to become a confident swimmer. Lets take that first dip together.

My swim journey began in high school, where I swam for 4 years and was captain of the team for 3 of them. During that time I began teaching swim lessons to kids from 12months old all the way up to adults while lifeguarding at the Kent-Meridian pool, and I did that for 4years. I have an amazing ability to swim and teach. I wish to share all my knowledge & swim wisdom with my students to help everyone be comfortable, & conquer in the water. Cant wait to build your swimming abilities.

From beginners, intermediate, and advanced swimmers from all age categories. I have great teaching skills and follow a simplified program when it comes to my "Learn-how-to-swim" program. With years of hands-on coaching experience, I have built a reputation as a trusted and effective mentor who understands that every swimmer is unique, which is why I carefully tailor my training programs to accommodate different abilities and learning styles. My structured lessons cover everything from basic water safety and foundational strokes for beginners to advanced techniques for competitive swimmers looking to enhance. My swim approach is characterized by patience, encouragement, and a keen ability to adapt my lessons to the needs of each individual.

Hello swimmers and families! My name is Djenica, I'm 23, and I am currently a master's student at the University of Washington. I have worked clinically in ophthalmology as that is my future career goal! Teaching swim lessons was my first ever job, and I have loved it ever since. I have worked with children and adults of all ages, where I have mostly taught children between 5 and 13 years old. I started competitively swimming at 10 years old on a Midlakes summer swim team, and I swam through high school as well. During that time, I taught swim lessons, lifeguarded (pool, water park, and beaches), and spent some time coaching as well. My favorite strokes are butterfly and freestyle, though I really enjoy teaching all aspects of swimming and water safety!

Hello! My name is Lindsey, and I have been a swim instructor since March 2022! More on my swim background: I swam on my high schools varsity swim team, did water polo, and used to be a lifeguard. As an instructor, I am extremely passionate about water safety, proper swim techniques, and, most importantly, ensuring that students feel heard, safe, and comfortable. I am a very social person, and I love connecting with students so they feel comfortable with me. With my experience, I am able to teach all ages and skill levels, from beginner to swim team. Teaching swimming and seeing students growth is incredibly rewarding to me, and I want to continue making a lasting and positive impact. I look forward to working with you or your children!

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hello! My swimming journey began when I first learned how to crawl and would sneak away to the dog bowl to discover my love for the water. I have been a swimmer since February 2011. Now Im an undergraduate at the University of Washington and still swim in my own time. My love for swimming and teaching has allowed me to teach all levels of swimming, from basic skills to coaching the younger members of my club team as a USA Swimming certified junior coach. Swimming and getting comfortable with the water can be scary, but I want to create a safe space where you can find your own love for the water! Everyones learning style is different, but they all deserve to be recognized.

For baby and some toddler lessons, parent participation is encouraged for building water comfort. For older children (typically ages 2+), parents are not specifically encouraged to be in the water, as our one-on-one private instruction is designed to build independence. However, we always require a responsible adult to be present on the premises for all lessons with minors. If you have specific preferences or concerns, our team is happy to accommodate them in your registration. We tailor each lesson to your comfort and goals.
