Hi there! I'm Jaci, CPR-certified with over 5 years of experience as a lifeguard and private swim instructor working with kids and teens aged 5-18. Right now, I'm studying clinical psychology in graduate school, which means I understand how kids learn and grow both in and out of the pool. This helps me create lessons that are not only fun but also tailored to each child's stage of development. I believe swimming is about more than just strokes; it's about building confidence, feeling comfortable in the water, and having fun while doing it! Whether you're just starting out or want to sharpen your skills, my lessons focus on making every minute enjoyable, encouraging, and safe. I'm excited to help you discover the joy of water and swimming!

Hi there! My name is Joe. I started taking swim lessons at five years old and later decided to pay forward the valuable skills my swim teachers gave me. What makes me a great swim teacher is my love for working with kids. In addition to being the third of seven children (one of whom has special needs), Ive spent years as a youth sports coach and camp counselor. I love seeing kids confidence grow as they learn, their personality shining through and smiles coming to their faces. Ive taught swim lessons since February 2022 and have become a certified lifeguard, which has cemented my belief in the great importance of knowing how to swim; its a skill that doesnt just make pool time fun, but can save lives. Hope to see you at the pool soon!

Hello! My name is Chloe Cheevers, a current Division I college swimmer. I have been swimming since February 2015, hence my passion for teaching lessons. I believe water safety is very important, so being able to help is my main goal. I first learned how to swim when I was two years old, and lets just say I did not like the water at that time, so I understand how some kids feel. As time went on, I went from hating the water to getting very excited to swim. My main strokes are breaststroke, freestyle, and IM. I love making sure that my students are comfortable with me and, overall, learn how to be safe in the water. I change the plans based on how ready each student is, so each student has a different plan. I cant wait to teach your kids how to swim!
