Michael H.

Claremont, California 91711

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025

Hello! My name is Michael Hodge. I learned to swim when I was 4 years old. To this day, I remember having an incredible instructor who helped me get over my immense fear of swimming. In fact, my original fear turned into an inspiration as I, shortly after finishing my lessons, began competitively swimming and continued to do so from grade school through college. I was fortunate enough to have incredible coaches who helped me excel at the sport along the way. However, it was through my fear, as a beginner, that inspired me to instruct as I, to this day, remember how overwhelmed I was. Ive coached at Damien and Claremont High School as well as taught lessons at Pomona and Citrus College since February 2019. I have also worked with students who have special needs. I look forward to meeting you!
