As a lifelong swimmer, I have a passion for the water and love teaching children and adults how to swim better and faster. I am committed to helping my clients build confidence, develop strong swimming skills, and learn water safety in a fun, supportive environment. I grew up swimming in California, where I was on a summer recreational league from ages 4 to 18, and I also swam competitively throughout all of high school. When I was 18, I helped my local swim team, working as both a swim instructor and an assistant coach. Swimming is an essential skill that has taught me so much about discipline and prioritizing my health, and I truly care about giving back to the community to share how important it really is.

Hola! Marie here, my love for swimming started as a child. I swam every summer on the swim team and for high school. I became a lifeguard at 17 years old. I was promoted to an Aquatic Manager with 30 years of employment since September 1995. My passion for swimming grew, and an urgency to save a life became a reality. I became a parent with 2 kids and strongly believe everyone needs to learn how to be safe in, on, or around water and respond to an emergency. Certified in Adaptive Aquatics and WSI, I've coached multiple swim teams such as Masters, youth, and Special Olympics. I've taught lessons to all ages, all abilities, all levels, and local firefighters. I'm excited to introduce anyone to the water or any new skill. I'm headstrong about obtaining your personal goal for the water.
