Hello, Im Stephanie! Ive spent most of my life in the water, starting with competitive swim teams since 2009 to 2018, where I built a strong foundation in technique and confidence. That experience naturally led me to work as a lifeguard for two summers at Golfland Sunsplash in California, where safety and attentiveness became second nature. Over the past few years, Ive had the opportunity to teach swimmers of all ages and skill levels, and its something I truly enjoy. I love helping people feel comfortable, capable, and confident in the water. My lessons are patient, encouraging, and personalized, with a strong focus on safety, proper technique, and creating a positive, supportive learning environment.

For baby and some toddler lessons, parent participation is encouraged for building water comfort.
