Hi, my name is Nathan, and I have been teaching people to swim since February 2021. I have experience with a large range of ages through both individual swim instructor experience and camp counselor experience. I absolutely love to teach (Ive tutored math and writing in the past), and I believe that each lesson should be curated for that student. I take this same methodology into teaching swimming, as each student is going to have varying degrees of experience and comfortability. I always like to emphasize that each lesson is a chance for the student to grow as a person and as a swimmer. Whether it is basic water survival or learning to communicate, swimming is a medium that allows students to grow in multiple ways.

I started learning how to swim when I was five. Later, I wanted to continue swimming and did it year-round on various local teams. I have been swimming competitively since February 2012 and coaching since February 2019! I specialize in butterfly and backstroke and have even gone to the Junior Olympics in these events. I am getting my teaching degree from Hood College and regularly volunteer with kids, helping out with lots of different things. I have worked with ages 2-53 in private lessons and have helped in many ways, from learning how to swim to getting competition ready. I am comfortable working with kids who may be terrified of water and who may be nervous to try new things. I truly love the water, and I am hoping to share that with everyone.
