Hi, my name is Samantha, and Im a student at the University of Central Florida. Ive been teaching swim lessons since February 2019, working with kids as young as 10 months all the way up to 16 years old. Ive also been babysitting for the past five years, so working with children is something I genuinely love and feel very comfortable doing. Ive always felt at home in the water. I grew up around boats, started sailing when I was about nine, and have been doing it ever sinceso water has been a huge part of my life. I was on my JV swim team for three years and played water polo for two, and those experiences made me even more passionate about sharing that love for swimming with others. For me, teaching swim lessons isnt just about techniqueits about helping kids feel confident, safe, and excited to be in the water.
