Hi, I'm Corbin Songer, and I am currently a student at the University of Tampa! I have swum competitively since I was 6 and collegiately for 2 years now. On top of this, I have coached children ranging in age from 2 to 18. My favorite part about being a swim instructor is getting to coach kids through all stages of their stroke, whether it be floating on their back all the way to learning how to sprint breaststroke, all to shave off .2 seconds. I have spent countless years perfecting this for myself and for my students, which I can't wait to share with many more!

Hello there! My name is Akiya Martineau. I am a student at USF studying biomedicine. Teaching people how to swim is truly a passion of mine.

Ive taught both group lessons, semi-private, and private swim lessons. Ages varied from 6 months to adults. Learning to swim is all about comfortability and confidence; with a little practice, anyone can do it!
