Sunsational Vetted Since 2025

I fell in love with the water through synchronized swimming in elementary school and never looked back! Growing up in Northern California, I swam anywhere I couldfrom indoor pools to the chilly American River at Ponderosa Bridge, the Confluence, and Sunrise Bridge. My family loved whitewater rafting, so water safety was always front and center for me from a young age. I bring that same mindset into every lesson I teach: helping children feel confident, safe, and strong in the water. Ive taught swim lessons year-round at an indoor/outdoor swim school, working with all levels, and I especially love helping beginners gain trust in themselves. I have a background as a classroom teacher, now specializing in working with students with dyslexia.

Daniel F.

El Dorado Hills, California 95762

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

Hello! My name is Daniel, and water has been my home since February 2011. Growing up competing in the pool, I know how big of a transition swimming can be. My journey went from competitive swimming to helping the next generation with the same activity I love. I spent years working in aquatic environments as a lifeguard and a swim instructor. My experience went from teaching toddlers the basics of water safety to helping advanced swimmers refine their technique in strokes for competition. I teach to meet them where they are. Learning to swim can be intimidating, which is why I create a safe, fun, and patient environment so that students don't just learn how to swim but genuinely look forward to every lesson.
