Hello! My name is Tiffany. I grew up around a swimming family, including myself with 12 years of competitive swimming. I have been a swim instructor for all levels and ages. I have always said water is your friend, not your enemy! I have also worked as a lifeguard for Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. I strongly believe in having a safe environment with anyone around bodies of water. I incorporate having safety talks with all levels of swimming . I bring a positive attitude in and out of the pool. My goal for any student is to reach their goals and be able to feel safe in expressing their every need to succeed in swimming, including the Guardians of my students. I'm excited to meet my students and help them succeed in this journey!

Hi, my name is Jessica and I am 21 years old. I have taught swim lessons for 3 years from ages 2-10 years old. I have a great passion for teaching and helping people. I tend to have very 1 on 1 lessons formed around technique and basics of swimming. I enjoy teaching swim lessons because I get to be a part of a huge milestone for children to accomplish and get excited about. I cant wait to help your kids, grandkids, nieces, or nephews learn such an important life skill!

I love swimming and water recreational activities. Ive explored and competed in all kinds of environments - oceans, rivers, lakes, and cold currents as an elite triathlete. I enjoy helping others gain confidence, skills, and efficiency in the water so that they may enjoy it as much as I do. Ive been a swim and triathlon coach for 10+ years, guiding clients from beginners who are afraid of the water to athletes competing at world championships. Im excited to help you reach your water goals.

I love hearing, "I didn't know I could do that!" It's so cool to see the excitement when students can do something they couldn't before. I especially love it when they overcome their fear of the water. From my first race at 5 years old to lifeguarding as a teen, swimming, and water safety have been a passion of mine. I have experience teaching ages 6 months to 14 years, adults, and students with special needs. I believe fun and trust are important elements in learning to swim.

Hi, my name is Cristian and I have been teaching swim with children ranging from 1 to 15. I have an autistic brother who also happens to be mute.

I’ve worked with kids at the boy and girls club as well and I was also a teacher for K-5. I went to Nogales High School and I am current computer science major at the University of Arizona.

Hi, I am Robert! I have 3 years of experience teaching swim lessons to toddlers up to adults, also, special needs students. I grew up on the coast of NJ, spending my summers swimming in the Atlantic every day. I left NJ to attend U of A. I also served 4 years in the Navy. I'm finishing up my second Bachelor's degree at U of A and live in Tucson with my wife and two dogs. I believe it's too hot out here to not know how to swim and cool off safely in a pool.
