Special Needs Swimming Lessons Honolulu, HI

Hi, my name is Tobey and I am a student studying Tropical Agriculture at UH Manoa. I absolutely love all things water and I believe the fastest way to learn to swim is by having fun! I am a huge water polo fan and have been coaching splashball for several years! Back home I am a USLA-trained Ocean Lifeguard as well as a Junior guard Instructor for ages 6-16. I have been doing private lifeguarding as well as swim lessons for all ages for several years and counting and I never plan on stopping!

My first priority is safety, but my passion is for everyone of all ages to share the joy that I feel in the water. Whether in pools, ponds, or oceans, I never feel as free as I do when I'm swimming. As a father of four swimmers and a teacher of tens of thousands of professional lessons. there's very little I haven't dealt with many times over. Anxieties, phobias, disabilities, and difficulties can all be overcome. There's a whole other world under the waves. Let's go!
