Hi! My name is Trivonne. Ive been around the aquatics community for over 12 years. When I was 8, I joined a competitive swim team and quickly found a love for the water and the sport. In June 2021, I started teaching swim lessons, and in January 2023, I transitioned into coaching as well. Over the past 4 years, Ive been fortunate enough to have taught ages ranging from 6 months to adults, including special needs, and beginners to swim team. I believe that learning how to swim can be fun and exciting, not just a life lesson. I have learned that every kid has their own unique way of learning, and my goal is to adapt to their specific needs. Whether youre interested in learning only water safety skills or becoming a competitive swimmer, I am happy to assist you!

Buena Park, California 90621
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Ive been around pools my entire life & love coaching in & out of the water! I started my swim journey in HS on the swim team, lifeguarding & teaching swim lessons. As an adult I found a love for fitness with triathlons and then CrossFit. I eventually started coaching & opened my own CrossFit gym which I ran for 11+ years (2011-2022). During that time, I started a kids fitness program & rekindled my love for the water through a program called Deep End Fitness (DEF). In 2021, I got certified as DEF Tier 2 instructor & started my own program in Los Alamitos, which I still own & operate. I coach kids & adults of all ages & swim abilities, whether youre a toddler learning comfortable in the water or an adult trying to build water confidence!
