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, 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!

My highest priority is fostering water safety and water comfort in students.
