Sunsational Vetted Since 2016
Since I was a small child I loved swimming like a mermaid in the water. I wanted one day to share my passion and love for the water with others. Growing up, my family were members of a swim club, where I learned how to swim. I swam on the AAU swim team from grammar school age until the end of middle school. I taught swim lessons for 6 years which was a lot of fun, especially being there to witness how much confidence it gives children. I have worked with students of all ages, including adults!

Hello! My name is Gabi, and I have been a swim instructor for Sunsational, off and on, since November 2019. While working as a swim instructor, I was also a part-time lifeguard, meaning I was constantly around children and adults. As a lifeguard, my number one priority was safety, and I carry that into my lessons. I try my best to provide each student with the tools to safely play in the water while also providing an enjoyable experience.

Hi, my name is Nicholas and I have been a swim instructor for the last 5 years! I love to work with kids and I fundamentally believe that water safety and swimming are foundational skillsets that all children should know to be not only safe but to have fun! I incorporate a lot of play based activities because I believe that a child who associates the pool with happy feelings will be much more inclined to try the harder and scarier things in the water. I grew up with a pool so I have been in and around the water for my entire life. This gives me practical experience being in the water and being able to assess where your kids are at and how to best help them succeed in what can be a scary environment!
