Kristen has been teaching swim lessons since February 2010. Her love of children is what sparked her interest in beginning to teach. She enjoys teaching all levels, abilities, and ages how to learn to love the water. She can take even the most hesitant of swimmers and help them grow to be safe, confident, and capable. Whether working with babies, beginners, or teaching the techniques of the strokes, her individualized approach has produced strong swimmers. She is Lifeguard/CPR certified, has worked with individuals with special abilities, and can help anyone overcome any fears they may have and learn to see the magic of the water.

Hello, my name is Zeha, and Ive been teaching swim lessons since July 2023. My lessons focus on helping kids, beginners, and special needs students build confidence, safety, and technique in the water. Before becoming an instructor, I swam competitively in high school, which gave me a strong foundation in stroke mechanics, endurance, and water safety. As a certified EMT and CPR instructor, I make safety a top priority while creating a fun and supportive environment. I love helping students not only learn how to swim but also enjoy the water with confidence.

I LOVE working with kids & find the pool & swimming to be the most cherished, unique place for them unlike any other sport. Pools can either be very intimidating & scary or their favorite destination. I swim regularly & have since I was a young girl. I taught at a school with a full time swim program and have done many private lessons. I am a former preschool teacher as well as nanny. I am lively, fun, and calming. I specialize in fearful children & work best with children aged 2-5.

Hi! I am currently a student at UCI, graduating soon! I was a competitive swimmer as a kid. In high school, I was a competitive diver and worked as a lifeguard and youth sports coach, spending a majority of my working time teaching swim lessons for kids, babies, and some adults. I am adaptable and able to teach all swim levels. I can teach all the swim strokes and techniques to improve form and speed in the water, and I can also help those who are newer to the water become more comfortable by teaching basic skills and techniques to move around safely. Safety and technique are very important in the water, but so is fun! Associating trust and fun with swim lessons allows, especially for younger kids, the space to excel quickly.

Hi, I am Nicole! I love the water, but it did not always used to be that way. When I first learned to swim, I hated putting my face underwater, but I was able to overcome my fear and swam competitively from May 2005 to May 2017. I love teaching kids how to safely have fun in the pool by building their confidence and strength in swimming. I remember what it was like to be afraid of the water, so I want to help kids overcome any fears they have about swimming. I have instructed and coached many kids in the past, from infants to teenagers. I cannot wait to help your child grow and develop their skills in the water so both of you feel confident in their ability to enjoy the pool safely :)
