US Navy Diver (reserves) and full-time student. I have trained kids as well as members of the US Navy for water egress and Spec. War candidates. I believe everyone should know how to swim and be comfortable in the water. The easiest way to get rid of the fear of the water and build confidence is by making it fun.

Hi, my name is Lisa, and I have been swimming since I was 8 years old. I just graduated with my Master's in Business Administration and Analytics at Florida Atlantic University. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of West Florida and was a member of the swim team there. I have worked with both children and adults of all ages. I'm excited to continue my passion for swimming and help others become more comfortable in the water and achieve their technical goals.

Hi, Im Falens! Im a dedicated swim instructor with experience teaching children of various ages and skill levels. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and encouraging environment where swimmers can build confidence in the water while developing strong swimming fundamentals. I focus on patience, clear communication, and making lessons both effective and enjoyable. Whether your child is learning basic water safety, overcoming fears, or improving their swimming technique, I tailor each lesson to their individual needs and learning pace.

Hi! My name is Julian and Ive done about two seasons of swim lessons so far. I did group swim lessons for about a year and then started private lessons as well and did both for another year. I moved from Chicago to Florida a couple months ago and havent been able to teach, but I would love to get started again. As for the actual teaching, I would draw from the curriculum of my old job, but try and see what your child needs specifically and what they are lacking in. Although I will be less available mid August when my school starts, my schedule is very flexible during the summer time. I am very excited to be working with any of you and make your kids better at such a very important skill!

Rochelle L.

Fort Myers, Florida 33967

Sunsational Vetted Since 2023

Hello. My name is Shelley! I have been Red Cross WSI certified since February 2022. I have taught water babies all the way to group lessons and private lessons for children aged 3-12. I taught lessons at the FGCU Aquatics Center, the Sanibel Rec Center, and independently as well. I love working with children and am excited about the opportunity to work with families and their little ones to develop their swim skills! Apart from WSI teaching, I was also a lifeguard from May 2021 to February 2025. I worked both at the FGCU and Sanibel Rec Center during that time. While I did not grow up as a swimmer who competed, my mother had her ISR certification and taught me not only how to swim but also how to swim safely. I hope to do the same for all of you!
