Hey there! I love coaching kids and adults, and I love swimming! I started swimming on a team at age 8 and became competitive at 13. I set a league record in the 100 yd Breaststroke at 16, and when my swim career ended at 19 due to an injury, I began my coaching journey! I co-coached a brand-new team to a second-place victory at Champs in year one, and in the second year, we took first! After I stopped coaching, I became a personal trainer and developed a deep understanding of physiology and effective programming. So, whether it's teaching basic water safety to a beginner, acclimating them to the water and equipping them with the skills they need to enjoy the water safely, or refining the technique of a more experienced swimmer, I'm your guy!

Hello, Im Shay. I was born and raised right here in San Diego. After spending some time away in college, I knew the place I wanted to be was my home. Swimming and being in the water have always been a passion of mine and my family. I took swim lessons as early as one year old and continued them throughout high school. I started with a competitive swim team at six years old, which led me to state CIFs. Simultaneously, I also played water polo from ages 9 to 19, which continued into my college career. Currently, I am working on my elementary education bachelor's degree online, as I have always had a passion for teaching and educating younger generations. These factors set me up to be a compassionate and effective swim coach for my students.

I love the water! From ages 6 to 14, I was either on a recreational or year-round club swim team. I began teaching swim lessons in between practices during the summers in my early high school years and then picked it back up when I went to college, where I taught at a local swim school for several years. I have experience in teaching both advanced (strokes, techniques, endurance, diving) and beginner (getting comfortable with water, kicks, breath-holding, and other water safety skills)! Learning to swim is such an important skill to have, and I believe that it can be so impactful and boost self-confidence! Its just as important to have fun while learning!

I started swimming before I could walk. Growing up at the beach I was in the ocean and bay constantly. I was on the swim team in high school, have done dozens of triathlons, and swam from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco. I am also a certified rescue scuba diver and a surf instructor. I view swimming as a life skill and am excited to teach your child to learn to swim. I have worked with reluctant children who learn to love the water. I am kind, fun, and patient, but can be firm as needed.

Hello. My name is Antwan. I have a lot of experience as a swim instructor and swim team coach. I have been teaching for almost 40 years, since September 1985. I enjoy the water and living in San Diego. Swimming is a life skill that everyone should have. I believe that everyone should know how to swim because we have a lot of water around us in San Diego County. Whether you're young or old, it's never too late to learn how to swim. I have taught all age groups. I enjoy teaching swim lessons. Also, I coached a swim team for the city of San Diego. I had 125 kids on my team and had a lot of fun doing it. If you're up for the challenge to learn how to swim, then I'm your guy! Another fact about me: I have competed in high school and junior college. Currently, I'm still in aquatics, and my teaching times are due to my job.
