Hello, my name is John Hanacek. I am a lifelong swimmer, water polo player, and lifeguard. I have been in the ocean and the pool since I was 7, doing Junior Lifeguards every summer and being on a competitive swim team. I became an ocean lifeguard for California State Parks and then got to go full circle by being an instructor for the same Junior Lifeguards program. I believe everyone deserves to have the joy and confidence of swimming. I make learning fun and help young swimmers discover their confidence and power in the water to build a foundation of skills for life. I have been teaching swimming lessons since February 2021 and have experience with young students ages 3 to 15, and adults of all ages.

I grew up in the water and went on to become a Division 1 athlete at the University of San Diego, where swimming and rowing taught me discipline, patience, and the importance of great technique. Ive worked with kids of all ages and beginners learning to love the water, and I focus on building confidence step by step. My teaching style is supportive, fun, and safety-first, so students feel comfortable while progressing at their own pace. Whether the goal is floating, swimming independently, or refining strokes, I bring positive energy and clear instruction to every lesson.

I have taught swim lessons with multiple reputable companies since August 2023 and enjoy cultivating an individualized lesson plan and teaching approach for every student. I have worked with all levels in all age ranges and am very patient with my students, as I understand that swimming and refining technique can be very intimidating and difficult.
