Why are Brea swimming lessons so important?
Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the US for children under 14, and in most cases, it happens in just minutes – even when a caregiver is nearby. In fact:
Enrolling your child in swimming lessons is one of the best ways to prevent drowning by teaching them essential water safety skills.

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!
