Hello, my name is Jam, and I'm originally from the Monterey area. I am a former head swim coach since February 2019, a club coach since February 2017, and I have taught swimming lessons since February 2011. I am currently a qualified World Aquatics Masters swimmer and have competed at Worlds against other national-level swimmers to former Olympians. I have taught a wide range of swim classes, from "Mommy & Me" to adult swim classes. Although I am currently in the middle of my Ph.D., I have a strong passion for the sport and want to help others gain a love for swimming and the safety skills to swim confidently. I look forward to working, teaching, and swimming with you!

My name is Madeleine and I have always loved to swim. My mother taught me how to swim, so when I teach others, I am continuing in her tradition. I have experience teaching swimming to children of various ages, starting from infancy, and am raising my own baby who is coming up on a year. We are doing lots of swimming, of course! My teaching philosophy is centered around providing appropriate challenges for children and helping them push their boundaries in a healthy, gentle, encouraging manner. I enjoy providing opportunities for children to be brave, as well as fall in love with the art and practice of swimming. I look forward to teaching water safety and supporting swim stroke development with your child (and with you!) while having a glorious time in the water! So grab your fins and lets get swimming!

My 11 years of competitive swimming experience has led to a highly detailed and practical understanding of stroke technique. After over two years of swim instruction at the Burgess Pool in Menlo Park and later, private lessons around Portola Valley, Palo Alto and Menlo Park, I am able to teach students of all ages to be more comfortable in the water and have a better "feel for the water." I also have years of experience with adults who are complete beginners.

My strong connection with water and children has deeply influenced my career. From babysitter to in-home nanny, I found my passion for nurturing young minds. As a private swim coach for ages 1 to adults, I enjoy teaching swimming skills and building confidence around water. Since February 2021, I have specialized in swim lessons for children needing extra support. Its rewarding to see breakthroughs, such as children with autism swimming independently after tailored coaching.

Hi! My name is Joshua (I also go by Josh) and I've been teaching swim lessons part time for a several years now. I overcame a fear of water before swimming on the high school swim team. I graduated from UC Berkeley a couple years ago with a BA in Data Science. I have worked with kids and adults of all skill levels and ages. My favorite thing about teaching is seeing students improve. I have also worked with students on the autism spectrum. Previously, I helped conduct science camps for younger kids on the autism spectrum. I have a friendly and patient approach to teaching and am eager to help anyone who wants to improve on swimming :)
