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.

Having done synchronized swimming and water polo, my relationship with the water is one of understanding and cooperation. I played at San Diego State University and competed as an adult. I coached high school polo for 16 years, so I have been coaching since February 2009 and have worked with students 7 months and up. I specialize in establishing a working relationship with the water. My approach is focused on common-sense survival. Being comfortable and at ease ensures water success. I work specifically with clients who have experienced trauma, causing fear and anxiety. First-time swimmers, who have not had the privilege of swim lessons, find success with me. I work with those who have disabilities, ASD, are non-verbal, and those who are fearful. Please feel free to have a conversation about desires and expectations.
