I previously worked at Aqua-Tots Swim School, where I taught swimmers of different ages and skill levels, from beginners to more advanced students.

I focus on creating a positive, patient, and encouraging environment so every student can progress at their own pace while having fun. I also speak both English and French, which helps me communicate comfortably with bilingual families and students.

Hello everyone! My name is Weston, and I am a native of Sunny San Diego, California. I started swimming when I was 3 years old. In my younger years, I was a competition swimmer, a water polo player, and a swimming league champion. In my adult years, I continued my passion for swimming as a Special Operations professional in the military. My military career blessed me with extensive experience in open ocean swimming and diving, both in the day and under the cover of darkness. If you are my student, I will always prioritize your safety, well-being, and ensure that you always have a positive experience in the water, as you learn and grow as a human being. I am empathetic, patient, and a great communicator. I will help you overcome your fears.

Hi! My name is Bre, and Im 22 years old. Ive been in the water for as long as I can remember. I began swim lessons as a toddler and fell in love with swimming. By the age of 7, I was competing on a club team and continued to swim competitively until I was 18. Although I was offered the opportunity to swim in college, I chose to focus on academics at SDSU. I worked as a certified lifeguard and swim instructor at my local pool in Seattle since February 2021, gaining valuable experience in water safety, before I moved to San Diego for college. I have since then kept my connection to the water through teaching private family lessons during the summer and enjoying some laps on my own from time to time.

Hello, My name is Zach and I am an experienced swim instructor with credentials ranging from teaching young kids to coaching the highest level of competitive swimming. I worked for a swim club proven to be the best in Riverside CA. There we work with swimmers that have entry level skills all the way to swimmers with olympic trial cuts. I am passionate about teaching swim because it is an ability that once learned, we never forget, and children must be taught to swim properly to stay safe and enjoy the experience. With experience swimming, playing waterpolo, and even diving competitively among the tops in the state, I am confident that your kids will learn valuable lessons with me.
