My swim journey began in high school, where I swam for 4 years and was captain of the team for 3 of them. During that time I began teaching swim lessons to kids from 12months old all the way up to adults while lifeguarding at the Kent-Meridian pool, and I did that for 4years. I have an amazing ability to swim and teach. I wish to share all my knowledge & swim wisdom with my students to help everyone be comfortable, & conquer in the water. Cant wait to build your swimming abilities.

Hello swimmers and families! My name is Djenica, I'm 23, and I am currently a master's student at the University of Washington. I have worked clinically in ophthalmology as that is my future career goal! Teaching swim lessons was my first ever job, and I have loved it ever since. I have worked with children and adults of all ages, where I have mostly taught children between 5 and 13 years old. I started competitively swimming at 10 years old on a Midlakes summer swim team, and I swam through high school as well. During that time, I taught swim lessons, lifeguarded (pool, water park, and beaches), and spent some time coaching as well. My favorite strokes are butterfly and freestyle, though I really enjoy teaching all aspects of swimming and water safety!

From beginners, intermediate, and advanced swimmers from all age categories. I have great teaching skills and follow a simplified program when it comes to my "Learn-how-to-swim" program. With years of hands-on coaching experience, I have built a reputation as a trusted and effective mentor who understands that every swimmer is unique, which is why I carefully tailor my training programs to accommodate different abilities and learning styles. My structured lessons cover everything from basic water safety and foundational strokes for beginners to advanced techniques for competitive swimmers looking to enhance. My swim approach is characterized by patience, encouragement, and a keen ability to adapt my lessons to the needs of each individual.

Hi! Im Jeni, and Im dedicated to making swimming accessible for everyone. I believe that the water should be a place of joy, not fear. Fear often comes from a lack of control. My goal as an instructor is to give that control back to the swimmer. I understand that for a nervous beginner, 'just blowing bubbles' can feel like a mountain to climb. I focus on building a relationship of trust first, using gentle, step-by-step techniques to de-mystify the water. What to expect in my lessons: Patience: go at students' pace. Zero Pressure: consent based. Technical Clarity: how and why. I believe it is never too early, and never too late, to become a confident swimmer. Lets take that first dip together.
