I am a swim coach with 8 years of experience in both swim instruction and coaching competitive swimmers. I teach all ages from preschoolers to adults. I bring a mix of upbeat energy and focused, technique-driven coaching to every lesson. I specialize in stroke development and helping swimmers improve their form, efficiency, and confidence in the water, but I am comfortable teaching any skill level. My goal is to make every session fun, productive, and tailored to what you need to get better and feel confident in the water.

Hi, Im Tia! Im a swim instructor with experience working with swimmers of all ages, from toddlers as young as 2 to adults up to 30, and across all skill levels. I recently graduated from California State University, Northridge, with a bachelors degree in Kinesiology, where I was also a student athlete on the womens beach volleyball team. Growing up on a small island, I was surrounded by the ocean and began water sports at a young age, becoming a competitive surfer at nine years old while also teaching others along the way. My background as both a coach and lifelong water athlete has taught me how to create lessons that are engaging, fun, and tailored to each swimmers needs. Most of all, I love making the water a safe and fun place where swimmers can grow their confidence and enjoy every splash!

Hi there! My name is Lily Bradbury, and Im an incoming senior psychology major at Chapman University in Orange, CA. I swam competitively for 15 years until the end of my freshman year of college. I both lifeguarded and taught swim lessons for little ones for 4 summers at a private pool and beach club in my hometown in Connecticut. Ive taught kiddos of all ages and experiences in the waterfrom their first time in the pool without floaties to being on a swim team and seeking out help with stroke mechanics, and everything in between. My goal is to provide kids with lessons that make them excited to learn how to swim, implementing games and different instruction techniques that allow them to have fun and be safe while being in the water. Im so excited to have the opportunity to continue to teach little ones!
