My name is Nancy and I have been teaching swim lessons for more than 4 years with children from 6 months of age to adults. I also have a lot of experience working with students who are on the Autism spectrum. I swam competitively in my youth and have continued to swim with Master classes through adulthood. I also tutor academics to children, teenagers and 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.

I am a mom to two adults, a 25-year-old daughter and an 18-year-old son with 22q Deletion Syndrome and ASD. I am also a lifelong swimmer who swam competitively as a child. I have been teaching swim lessons since March 2024, but I have worked with children for most of my adult life. I was a nanny in my early 20s. I have coached youth volleyball since 2003. I taught toddler music lessons a few years ago as well. What I love about teaching swimming, though, is that lightbulb moment when breath, buoyancy, and propulsion all come together and a child realizes they can swim. I also love to challenge older swimmers to push their limits safely to achieve more in the pool, whether it be learning to dive or swim butterfly.
