Hello! My name is Anjelica, and I absolutely love teaching swim lessons. Over the past 10 years, I have taught students of all ages, from 6 months up to adults. I especially love teaching special needs swim lessons and designing lesson plans that accommodate and challenge students of all abilities. My personal swim experience includes swimming for the UPenn club swim team at Nationals, swimming with the UC Berkeley Cal Masters Swim team, and also competing in open water swimming at the Collegiate Nationals with Cal Triathlon. I currently work at SF General Hospital in clinical research full-time but realized I was missing that joy of interacting with kids and seeing them grow confidence in the water.
