Hi, my name is Juan Pablo and I've been teaching swim lessons for 9 years from infants to adults. From an early age, I started swimming daily and even volunteered to teach occasionally after practice. I came to the United States on a swimming scholarship to Santa Monica College and California State University Northridge, where I earned a degree in film. I love teaching swimming because it not only changed my life and opened doors for me but it is also a very important life skill to have.

Swimming has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it's a passion I'm excited to share with every child and adult that I teach. As a competitive open water swimmer and instructor at Olympian Lenny Krayzelburg SwimRight Academy, I've had the privilege of teaching students of all ages, helping them learn water safety, build confidence, and master all four swim strokes. I believe every student learns at their own pace, so I strive to create a fun, patient, and encouraging environment where they feel comfortable trying new things and celebrating every achievement. Whether your child is getting in the water for the very first time or looking to improve their technique, my goal is to help them become a strong, confident, life time swimmer.

I fell in love with swimming at a young age and began swimming competitively at just 5 years old, continuing all the way through college. In high school, I discovered my passion for teaching when I started giving swim lessons and found it incredibly rewarding to help swimmers gain confidence in the water. After college, I continued sharing my love of the sport by coaching at my local YMCA, where I spent 7 seasons coaching the swim team and teaching lessons since September 2016. With years of experience teaching swimmers from infants to adults, I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment that helps each student reach their goals. Whether its teaching water safety, building foundational skills, or refining technique, I love helping swimmers develop both confidence and a lifelong love for the water.
