Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hiiiii my name is Atiima, and Im excited to teach my clients how to swim safely and enjoy the process. I have been in love with swimming for a large chunk of my life. I did competitive swimming for six years. While on my neighborhood swim team, I was a junior coach for two years, which consisted of teaching 3-6-year-olds how to swim comfortably by themselves. My love for swimming led me to teach at the YMCA as a swim instructor. While working there, I acquired different skills and techniques, and I hope to share some of them with my clients!

We understand if you're concerned about selecting the right swim instructor for your lessons, because we are too!

For baby and some toddler lessons, parent participation is encouraged for building water comfort. For older children (typically ages 2+), parents are not specifically encouraged to be in the water, as our one-on-one private instruction is designed to build independence. However, we always require a responsible adult to be present on the premises for all lessons with minors. If you have specific preferences or concerns, our team is happy to accommodate them in your registration. We tailor each lesson to your comfort and goals.
