Many children with special needs have problems with confidence, but successfully learning a new skill like swimming with the help of a special needs swim instructor can make all the difference.

It improves their fitness & strength

Special needs children can benefit from the improvement of strength and fitness that comes with our swim lessons, making them healthier and more capable.

Improve coordination & range of motion

Swimming is an activity that improves balance, coordination and range of motion, all things that many special needs children struggle with. Our talented special needs swim instructors can help your child improve their skills in each area as they learn to swim.

Hi there, Im Angie and currently reside in Davis, CA. I absolutely love being in the water; I grew up around it. I started swimming lessons at the age of 5 and have been swimming ever since. I was on a swimming team at my local pool for a couple of years. I have been teaching swimming lessons since October 2022 and have taught hundreds of students of all ages and levels. I am very adaptable and will plan lessons around what is needed, making sure students get the very most out of lessons.

Hi! I am a junior in college and have been swimming since May 2008! I have done club swim and water polo, was a varsity captain in high school for all four years, and am now on my college team! I love teaching and I love the water, so this is my happy place. I am always very eager to learn more about different people and see how I can help teach everyone in their own special way. I have taught all ages and skill levels and always have my students leaving each lesson more confident and knowledgeable than when they first started! I can't wait to meet some new faces and get everyone to where they want to be! :)

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

Hello, my name is Alonso Martinez. I have been swimming now since September 2017 for almost 9 years, I played water polo and did competitive swimming as well as doing instructional swimming lessons/lifeguarding for 3+ years, but I was not always good enough to do any of these activities. Learning to swim for me began with some obstacles. I had a scary encounter when learning to swim that almost deterred me from it completely, but stuck with it and am here now. My past encounters have helped build the skill that allowed me to teach for the past 3+ years and has allowed me to understand the fear that someone has when learning aquatic skills. Swimming, can be fun and hopefully I will be able to assist in this new venture.

Hey! Im Sean. Ive spent the last several years teaching swim lessons, lifeguarding, and coaching both competitive swim and water polo. I also grew up as a competitive swimmer, so the pool has been a huge part of my life. As an instructor, I pay close attention to how each swimmer learns and build my lessons around them. I like breaking skills down, finding whats holding someone back, and giving them challenges that keep them progressing without overwhelming them. Im energetic and encouraging, but I also want every lesson to have a purpose. Whether were working on water safety and confidence or developing stronger strokes and technique, I want my swimmers to understand why were practicing something and leave each lesson better than they started.
