Why are Overland Park swimming lessons so important?
Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the US for children under 14, and in most cases, it happens in just minutes – even when a caregiver is nearby. In fact:
Enrolling your child in swimming lessons is one of the best ways to prevent drowning by teaching them essential water safety skills.

Hi! Please call me Margo! I have been working with children since February 2019, and safety and comfort have always been a huge passion of mine. I have taught in both swim school settings and through private lessons with families I nanny for. Growing up, we had a pool in our backyard, and I loved pretending to teach swim lessons to my friends, so this has always been a big love of mine! I am currently pursuing my bachelors degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders on the path to speech pathology. I believe swim lessons should feel encouraging and fun! I always take a calm and patient approach to help each child feel comfortable and confident in the water. I cant wait to cheer your child on as they learn and gain confidence in the water!

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hi! My name is Kayla, and I have been teaching swim lessons since May 2019! I started out as a lifeguard at age 16, teaching all of the classes our local pool had to offer. This ranged from 5 months to 10-12 years. I am now 23 and have been blessed with my wonderful 2-year-old nephew, with whom I have had the absolute pleasure of starting lessons. This is exactly what sparked that passion I had as a teen for teaching young ones to swim! Learning to swim is an extremely important life skill that I believe can be taught successfully at any age. I will always make learning in the water fun and enjoyable while guaranteeing your child is safe and properly educated.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2024
I'm an ex-competitive swimmer who still loves being in the water. My strokes were butterfly and Individual medley. I enjoy teaching people how to swim from beginners to advanced swimmers (we can work on tweaking body mechanics to increase speed and efficiency in the water). I have experience instructing ages 2 years old through adults. I've been a swim coach, pool manager, swim instructor, and lifeguard, but am now professionally a nurse looking for a side gig away from the hospital.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Swimming is an essential, potentially life-saving skill. I learned to swim at a young age through our local YMCA. Now, as an adult, I am a certified swim instructor passionate about teaching safety around water skills. The most rewarding part is seeing a student's face light up as they lose any fears and gain new skills. I work with all levels of swimmers but particularly love the experience with non-swimmers and beginners.

Hi, my name is Emma, and I have been teaching swimming lessons since December 2022. I began my journey as a lifeguard, and within six months, transitioned into teaching. Since then, I have worked with individuals of all ages and skill levels, from parent and child classes to senior adults, in both group settings and private, one-on-one lessons. I also specialize in working with children on the autism spectrum. I am truly passionate about teaching and take great pride in helping others learn and grow.

Hi there, Im Katelyn and I cant wait to be your swim instructor! Ive taught ages 6 months to adult, and I have no doubt that with the right training, anyone can learn to swim! I swam competitively in high school at a varsity and state level, so no matter your childs needs, I am confident in teaching beginners to competitive athletes. I want every swimmer I interact with to love the water, or at least feel comfortable in it, by the time our lessons are over. I cant wait to work with you!
Trevor W.
Kansas City, Missouri 64155
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hello! My name is Trevor Woehrman, and Ive spent countless hours on the pool deck and in the water. I began swimming competitively when I was 5 years old until I was 18 and went off to college. Later in high school and in my early college years, I taught hundreds of kids to swim from ages 2 to 18. For the past 9 years, I have been coaching high school swimming at Kearney High School, with 4 of those years as the head coach. My favorite memories from when I was a kid are from my time spent at the pool training as well as spending time with family and friends. I love working with kids, and I look forward to the opportunity to teach more kids how to swim so that they can enjoy their time in the water and make their own memories just like I did.
Charyl M.
Lake Lotawana, Missouri 64086
Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hello! My name is Charyl Moran, and I love to swim, but that was not an innate process for me. I almost drowned when I was 5 years old. Thankfully, my older sister heard me struggling and came to my rescue. I am a strong swimmer now, and I 100% believe that anyone can learn to swim no matter what their previous experiences or fears have been. My objective is to give the student their own personal set of skills to overcome fear(s) and feel confident in the water. That is, confidence with safety and respect for water. I really look forward to the opportunity to teach you and/or your loved ones. There is nothing better than seeing a student progress and finally swim like a fish! Thank you, Charyl Moran

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hi, Im Elle! Im a passionate swim instructor with experience teaching children of all ages and skill levels since February 2018. My background in aquatics started at the YMCA, where I worked as both a lifeguard and swim instructor, and continued through college, where I taught private lessons and kept kids safe at the pool. Teaching swimming has always been one of my greatest joys theres nothing quite like watching a childs confidence grow as they discover a skill that will keep them safe for life. I bring the same qualities to the pool that I bring to everything I do: genuine passion, strong organization, and a commitment to making every student feel supported and celebrated. Id love to bring that energy to Sunsational families!
