My strong connection with water and children has deeply influenced my career. From babysitter to in-home nanny, I found my passion for nurturing young minds. As a private swim coach for ages 1 to adults, I enjoy teaching swimming skills and building confidence around water. Since February 2021, I have specialized in swim lessons for children needing extra support. Its rewarding to see breakthroughs, such as children with autism swimming independently after tailored coaching.

MacKenzie G.

Hayward, CA 94544

Sunsational Certified Since 2018

I have been an avid swimmer and swim instructor for nine years. For the past 5 years, I've taught private swim lessons. I've worked for swim academies, teaching children as young as 6 months, water safety skills, and swim strokes, but I prefer the private setting as each child has their own needs and fears that need to be overcome. Unfortunately, you can't always get that in a group setting. My goal is to make your child excited about entering the water, and water safe, should an accident occur.
