Sunsational Vetted Since 2024

Hello! I am Emiliano and I have worked as a swim instructor and a lifeguard. I have worked with a higher concentration of kids aged 2-6 but have had a full array from 6 months all the way up to 40+ years old. I have worked with kids on the spectrum and have experience catering to individual needs to ensure each kid gets a full experience. One of my top priorities is ensuring good habits with the water while focusing on technique for higher ages. All of this while being lighthearted and fun among other teaching techniques that thoroughly consider the psychology and learning patters of each kid I have. My sister has been my biggest teacher in creating patience and keeping a cool head no matter the task at hand when teaching.
