Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

Aloha! I'm KeiAndre. I was born on Oahu, Hawaii. I grew up surrounded by the ocean, so swimming was essential for me to learn. On the island, I participated in and enjoyed activities such as boogie boarding, swimming, surfing, and barbecues with family and friends at the beach. I have been a lifeguard and swim instructor since February 2021. Over the summer, I taught swimming lessons to children and adults. I am open to teaching all ages, including those who are just learning how to swim (beginners). I have taught baby & me classes all the way to adult students at the age of 70! My goal is to help people conquer their fear of the water, establish safety in and around water while setting goals, and ensuring a safe and enjoyable learning environment.
