Swimming has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and that lifelong connection to the water has grown into a deep passion for water safety and helping others become confident swimmers. I have years of experience teaching swimmers from as young as 3 months old through adulthood, including beginners, students with learning challenges and neurodivergence, competitive swimmers, and athletes training for swim teams and triathlons. I believe every swimmer learns differently, so I adapt my coaching to each individual while creating lessons that are safe, encouraging, engaging, and focused on meaningful progress.

San Diego, California 92115
Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hi! My name is Bre, and Im 22 years old. Ive been in the water for as long as I can remember. I began swim lessons as a toddler and fell in love with swimming. By the age of 7, I was competing on a club team and continued to swim competitively until I was 18. Although I was offered the opportunity to swim in college, I chose to focus on academics at SDSU. I worked as a certified lifeguard and swim instructor at my local pool in Seattle since February 2021, gaining valuable experience in water safety, before I moved to San Diego for college. I have since then kept my connection to the water through teaching private family lessons during the summer and enjoying some laps on my own from time to time.

I have been a competitive swimmer my whole life, competing both at the junior college level and NCAA D2 level, and being named an All-American swimmer. My philosophy is to build confidence in the water and help students trust themselves and me, while treating them as an equal and working with their concerns and anything holding them back.
