This is the best swimming experience for both you and your kids because it combines professional individualized teaching with a comfortable home setting. I've taught pre-schoolers, beginners, and advanced leveled swimmers. It is my strong belief that swimming should be fun for kids and every child should learn to be safe around water.

I have been babysitting and tutoring since early high school and have always loved working with children. I started teaching swim lessons about 5 years ago and absolutely fell in love. I believe the best way to learn is through play and practice. I teach in a way that encourages imaginative thinking and problem solving skills. I want to help the student get to the answer, not tell them.

Hi! I'm Bella, and I've been passionate about swimming since before I could walk, lol. I started competing in 2002 and qualified for State my first year and Junior Olympics my second year. I work with both children and adults and have been working in professional childcare and nannying since September 2009. This includes experience working with different personalities, learning styles, and special needs. It's important to me that everyone feels not only safe but confident and truly comfortable in the water while building strong technique and lifelong skills. I believe swimming should be something people enjoy, not fear. If you're brand new to the water, overcoming anxiety, learning safety skills, or improving techniques, I can help. This is truly my passion :)

Hi! I love teaching Learn to Swim as it combines two of my passions: swimming and teaching. My swimming journey started as a child taking swim lessons and then joining a club and high school swim teams. As an adult, I am now a triathlete and continue to swim laps mostly in Lake Michigan. I've had experience teaching Learn to Swim since September 2021, both as an instructor and as the pool director for a summer camp, where I managed and supported a team of seven swim instructors. When I'm not teaching swim lessons or swimming myself, I work as a preschool teacher in Chicago. I have experience working with a wide range of ages, as I have taught second and third grade in the past as well. I look forward to swimming with you!
