Hi Parents and Swimmers, My name is Lourdes, and I cant wait to teach your swimmer to swim! I have been a swim instructor since February 2022. I began my journey at the YMCA in Silver Spring, instructing both group and private lessons for preschool, youth, and adult groups of all skill levels.

I look forward to you or your child becoming the best swimmer!

Im Milki Bato, a University of Maryland student and super enthusiastic swim instructor who loves turning pool time into the best part of a kids day. Ive coached students in sports before, so I really know how to explain skills in a way that clicks and keeps things safe, structured, and fun. Im amazing with little ones. From babies and toddlers splashing for the first time to energetic kids ready to learn real strokes. I meet each swimmer right where they are. I bring big smiles, high energy, and genuine care to every lesson so kids leave the water more confident and excited to come back. I have lots of experience teaching all ages how to swim! They are all happy with what Ive done and I plan to continue to share that!

My name is Abby, and I am a graduate student at George Washington University. I've been teaching swim lessons since 2015, starting with group lessons before moving to private instruction. I have worked with students ages 6 months and up! One memorable student was a girl who was initially terrified to put her face in the water. By the end of our lessons, she was confidently jumping in and swimming. I still treasure the thank-you card she gave me. Over the years, I've helped children conquer their fear of water, worked with swim team members to refine strokes, and helped adults improve their skills. Seeing my students' pride when they achieve something they once thought impossible is my greatest joy.

Im 44 and an active duty US Army soldier. Swimming since 1 and yet to stop. At age 14 I was allowed to lifeguard at the community pool. This was my first time where I had a different experience of swimming. I was able to see how people acted differently in water, different methods they used to swim. In my adult life Ive taken the skills I learned going up and applied them with new one during the state patrol academy where I was self life saving measures as well as buddy rescues. These skills all were extremely useful to have known and practice because I was chosen to become a battalion swim instructor in the Army. This is where I took non-swimming (scared) paratroopers and taught them to be confident in water. Taught over 50 adult to swim

Id be in the pool all the time if I could and felt that way since I was 5. The love of water turned to speed and afforded the ability to train with olympians and world record holders, earning myself a place alongside those exceptional athletes in the finals of the 2004 Olympic trials. Since then I appreciated the opportunity to develop swim lesson programs for an early childhood center/community center, but I feel a greater sense of accomplishment when I teach, having taught ages 3 to 72 and assistant coached a team of 250+ swimmers in middle and high school. I feel lessons are most effective when we can create a comfortable environment to encourage openness to learning, and use my experience to tailor lessons to each individual.
