Catherine (Cassie) J.

Napa, California 94558

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025

I am a mom to two adults, a 25-year-old daughter and an 18-year-old son with 22q Deletion Syndrome and ASD. I am also a lifelong swimmer who swam competitively as a child. I have been teaching swim lessons since March 2024, but I have worked with children for most of my adult life. I was a nanny in my early 20s. I have coached youth volleyball since 2003. I taught toddler music lessons a few years ago as well. What I love about teaching swimming, though, is that lightbulb moment when breath, buoyancy, and propulsion all come together and a child realizes they can swim. I also love to challenge older swimmers to push their limits safely to achieve more in the pool, whether it be learning to dive or swim butterfly.

Alonso M.

Davis, California 95616

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

Hello, my name is Alonso Martinez. I have been swimming now since September 2017 for almost 9 years, I played water polo and did competitive swimming as well as doing instructional swimming lessons/lifeguarding for 3+ years, but I was not always good enough to do any of these activities. Learning to swim for me began with some obstacles. I had a scary encounter when learning to swim that almost deterred me from it completely, but stuck with it and am here now. My past encounters have helped build the skill that allowed me to teach for the past 3+ years and has allowed me to understand the fear that someone has when learning aquatic skills. Swimming, can be fun and hopefully I will be able to assist in this new venture.

Ive taught children at American Swim Academy, where I learned how to build trust quickly, ease nerves, and introduce skills like floating, kicking, breath control, and safe independent movement. I focus on creating a calm, encouraging environment where every child can progress at their own pace, whether they need structure, play-based learning, or extra reassurance. Im CPR certified, concussion trained, and committed to clear communication with parents about goals and progress.

Sean B.

Woodland, California 95776

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

Hey! Im Sean. Ive spent the last several years teaching swim lessons, lifeguarding, and coaching both competitive swim and water polo. I also grew up as a competitive swimmer, so the pool has been a huge part of my life. As an instructor, I pay close attention to how each swimmer learns and build my lessons around them. I like breaking skills down, finding whats holding someone back, and giving them challenges that keep them progressing without overwhelming them. Im energetic and encouraging, but I also want every lesson to have a purpose. Whether were working on water safety and confidence or developing stronger strokes and technique, I want my swimmers to understand why were practicing something and leave each lesson better than they started.
