Hi, Im Natalie Lindberg, and Im a 26-year-old swim instructor born and raised in sunny San Diego, California. Ive always loved the water; I grew up swimming in my pool all year long. I swam competitively and played water polo in high school, which led me to become a certified lifeguard and eventually teach swim lessons. I have been teaching swimming lessons since February 2021. I have experience working with kids of all ages and skill levels, and I always aim to make lessons safe, fun, and confidence-building.
During the school year, I work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supporting children on the autism spectrum. That background gives me a patient, understanding approach to swim instruction and helps me adapt to each swimmers unique needs.

Hi. My name is Angelique Vibbard. Im a mother of three beautiful daughters (22, 18, 16). I think pool safety is very important, and Ive taught my girls all about pool safety and how to swim since they were infants. I used to be a preschool teacher for over ten years, and Im now a Special Education Teacher teaching mild/moderate students for a charter school in East County. I cant wait to help your child experience the joy of swimming by focusing on proper technique, water safety, and building confidence. Im certified in CPR/First Aid. The best moment for me is when a new swimmer realizes they can float, glide, or swim on their own.

I am so excited to meet and teach your child fundamental swim skills and water safety! I have previously taught swimming in Oahu, Hawaii, at a private swim school since August 2018. I taught from ages 18 months all the way to adults who wanted to feel safe or improve technique! I believe swimming is a lifelong sport and is so beneficial to all! I have grown up in and around the water my entire life! I participated in Newport Beach's Junior Lifeguard program from ages 9 to 15 and swam competitively starting at age 12 through high school and played water polo! I truly love aquatics and believe everyone should learn to swim!
