Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
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.
