Whether your child is just getting started or looking to improve their skills, I am excited to help them grow and succeed in the water. Rememberit's never too early or too late to learn how to swim!

My goal is to provide kids with lessons that make them excited to learn how to swim, implementing games and different instruction techniques that allow them to have fun and be safe while being in the water. Im so excited to have the opportunity to continue to teach little ones!

Buena Park, California 90621
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Ive been around pools my entire life & love coaching in & out of the water! I started my swim journey in HS on the swim team, lifeguarding & teaching swim lessons. As an adult I found a love for fitness with triathlons and then CrossFit. I eventually started coaching & opened my own CrossFit gym which I ran for 11+ years (2011-2022). During that time, I started a kids fitness program & rekindled my love for the water through a program called Deep End Fitness (DEF). In 2021, I got certified as DEF Tier 2 instructor & started my own program in Los Alamitos, which I still own & operate. I coach kids & adults of all ages & swim abilities, whether youre a toddler learning comfortable in the water or an adult trying to build water confidence!

All our instructors are carefully selected, experienced swim instructors vetted by our recruiting team. Many also have specialized experience working with infants, toddlers, special needs learners, or adults overcoming fear of water. In Anaheim, where backyard pools, HOA pools, beaches make swimming skills essential, you can trust that your instructor is not only qualified but passionate about building water confidence and safety in every student.
We understand if you're concerned about selecting the right swim instructor for your lessons, because we are too! Our full-time, dedicated matching team carefully reviews your registration and hand selects a swim instructor for your lessons based on your swimmer's age, goals and your schedule.

If you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson, just let us know, and we'll restart your lessons with a new instructor or refund your unused lessons, your choice.
For baby and some toddler lessons, parent participation is encouraged for building water comfort. For older children (typically ages 2+), parents are not specifically encouraged to be in the water, as our one-on-one private instruction is designed to build independence. However, we always require a responsible adult to be present on the premises for all lessons with minors. If you have specific preferences or concerns, our team is happy to accommodate them in your registration. We tailor each lesson to your comfort and goals.
