Hi! Im Megan, and Im 19 years old. I was a competitive swimmer for around ten years, starting when I was 9 and continuing through high school. I have been doing private lessons with young swimmers since I was 12 and taught at a swim school where I gained experience with small groups of kids ages 4 months to 13 years old. I have experience at all levels in the pool and am always happy to help a swimmer, no matter if they are a beginner or if they already swim competitively. Its important to me to have a good line of communication with parents about their childs progress and what they are looking for. I look forward to sharing my love of swimming with others!

Hi, my name is Nathan, and I have been teaching people to swim since February 2021. I have experience with a large range of ages through both individual swim instructor experience and camp counselor experience. I absolutely love to teach (Ive tutored math and writing in the past), and I believe that each lesson should be curated for that student. I take this same methodology into teaching swimming, as each student is going to have varying degrees of experience and comfortability. I always like to emphasize that each lesson is a chance for the student to grow as a person and as a swimmer. Whether it is basic water survival or learning to communicate, swimming is a medium that allows students to grow in multiple ways.

Ive worked with students aged 18 months to 18 years old and have taught one-on-one as well as small and large group lessons.

Dominick S.

Washington, District of Columbia 20016

Sunsational Vetted Since 2024

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.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

I started learning how to swim when I was five. Later, I wanted to continue swimming and did it year-round on various local teams. I have been swimming competitively since February 2012 and coaching since February 2019! I specialize in butterfly and backstroke and have even gone to the Junior Olympics in these events. I am getting my teaching degree from Hood College and regularly volunteer with kids, helping out with lots of different things. I have worked with ages 6mo-53yrs in private lessons and have helped in many ways, from learning how to swim to getting competition ready. I am comfortable working with kids who may be terrified of water and who may be nervous to try new things. I truly love the water, and I am hoping to share that with everyone.
