I have been passionate about swimming for most of my life, beginning as a competitive swimmer at age 9 and continuing through my early 20s. I swam collegiately on a scholarship and have experience as a swim instructor since October 2006 and 10 years of experience as a lifeguard. As an adult, Ive continued my love of swimming through several triathlons, including swimming the open-water leg of an Ironman. I love helping swimmers of all ages build confidence, learn proper technique, stay safe, and most importantly, have fun in the water!

I have been swimming almost all my life. I was on a swim team in college, after college, and today I swim one mile in Tampa Bay year-round! I have been teaching swim lessons to all ages and levels of experience since February 2021. I am known to be very patient but firm and clear-headed with swim students, and I have a unique level of depth of experience with teaching infants and children ages 25, an age at which many children first get exposed to formal swim instruction.

Hi, Im Lily! Im currently in a masters program for Orthotics and Prosthetics, and I graduated from the University of Tennessee in May 2025 with a degree in Neuroscience.

That passion has carried into my coaching since April 2019 and swim instruction since May 2016. Ive worked with swimmers ranging from 8 months to 18 years old, as well as Special Olympics athletes of all ages. I love helping each swimmer grow at their own pace and look forward to sharing my passion for swimming with you!

Hello! My name is Jena and I have been a competitive swimmer for almost my entire life! I started swimming when I was 11 and pretty much never stopped. When I was young, I always watched the older kids teaching swim lessons in my club and wanted to do that one day. When I turned 14 I was finally old enough to start learning to teach swim lessons and loved every second of it! I taught within my club all up until I graduated high school. I then became a lifeguard and taught private lessons for my local parks department. I have experience with ages 4 and up! I am now an assistant coach for 2 teams (club and middle school)! I fell back in love with the sport and now I practice on an adult team.

With nearly 19 years in competitive swimming, my journey includes 10 years as an athlete and 8 years as a coach. I earned All-State and All-Division honors and received offers to compete in college for swimming and water polo. After burnout, I took up boxing at Towson University, where I began coaching and rediscovered my love for the sport. I have coached at the high school, YMCA, and USA Swimming levels. After working at UFs Gator Swim Camps, I connected deeply with Gainesville. I returned home to finish my B.S. at Dean College and launched TIDE Swimming. Now based in Gainesville, I coach for Gator Swim Club and am earning both my masters and doctorate degrees in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology at the University of Florida.

Hi, my name is Marcella and I've been a swim instructor since 1995. I teach all ages but my favorite students are young children because taking them on the journey of reluctance or fear of water to being safe while having fun in the water is very gratifying. While employed at a community foundation for DD adults, my favorite part of the curriculum was "swim day". Teaching students how to have fun in the water while placing safety first has always been my priority.
