Wesley Chapel, Florida 33545

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

Hello! My name is Jacob. I have been working with students in the water as an instructor for a little less than a year. My top priority is to keep your swimmer safe. Following that, it is so important to me to always be patient, kind, and understanding. Students cannot learn if they don't first, feel comfortable and safe with their teacher. I have worked with children from the age of 6 months old to 17 years old, and I have worked with adults of various ages as well. Swimming instruction is different for every student. No two students are the same and they will have unique needs. This is the student's time, not mine. I am here to work together with you, as a team, to help your student to be the best swimmer they can be!
