Hi! My name is Katelyn and I have been teaching swim lessons for 3 years. I learned to swim in elementary school and competed on the varsity swim and waterpolo teams in high school. I'm currently a student at California State University Long Beach studying Political Science. I love teaching swimming in my free time because of the joy I get to pass on to kids when they learn new skills in a fun and safe environment. I hope I can share my passion for swimming with kids like was once done for me!

Hello, I am Emmanuella. I've been teaching swim lessons to children as young as 15 months up to adults. I've worked with children since I was a teen at summer camps as a counselor/lifeguard, and as a tutor at after-school programs. Being a swim instructor gives me the perfect environment to teach and interact with children in a fun fulfilling way. I have experience with kids on the spectrum and have ways of progressively getting children comfortable with putting their faces in the water.

I taught 3rd grade for a year in Virginia and decided to move to Hawaii in August 2016.

I went to Michigan State University where I earned a degree in Kinesiology. While there, I was also a top 8 swimmer in the Big Ten Conference and ranked in the NCAA. I love teaching swim lessons because I have a true passion for the water and love to help children try and feel the same!

I've also worked with kids as a babysitter, as a television on-set child wrangler, and as a water polo coach.

Hi! My name is Baylor and I've been teaching swim lessons for 5 years with ages 1 to 18. I'm currently going to Cal State LA for my degree in criminal justice.
My aquatic experience started when I was a baby doing Mommy and Me classes; I practically grew up in the water. I did club swim and water polo ever since I was 7 and continued all throughout high school/uni. I love teaching swim because it is something I've done my whole life and I am so passionate about it. Beginner swimmer friendly!

Hello! My name is Taylor and I've been a swim instructor for 11 years, working with all levels and ages- from 3 to 73! I previously coached a swim team in Maryland and taught a swim course at Oberlin College. I also have experience working with kids out of the pool as an ESL teacher (elementary and high school) and am Spanish fluent.
