My name is Ledia and I have been teaching swim lessons for a few years with ages 2 to 50+. I have also worked with children for more than 15 years as a Sunday school teacher, tutor, babysitter, and mentor. I went to college in Massachusetts, and earned a degree in economics. I speak Spanish and Amharic and work full-time in finance. Swimming builds self-confidence and is a great form of exercise.

Hi, Im Stephanie! I have experience teaching swimming lessons to many children from infants to middle schoolers, and adults. With competitive swimming experience since February 2015 and a background as a lifeguard, I have a strong foundation in swimming techniques, water safety, and helping swimmers of all levels feel confident in the water. I am passionate about helping kids learn to love swimming while also learning important safety techniques.
I offer lessons at my outdoor rooftop pool, or I can come to your poolwhatever works best for you!
Whether your child is just starting to learn how to swim or is looking to refine their techniques, I am here to make the process fun, engaging, and tailored to their needs. Lets dive in!

Hey! I absolutely love swimming! Safety is my number one priority, but I still like to make it fun and enjoyable for all ages! Ive worked with kids as young as 3 months and many adults. I have a lot of experience working with individuals with fear and distrust of the water. In the past Ive made and taught specialized lesson plans for individuals with disabilities. My goal is to make sure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the water and to learn about the wonderful benefits of swimming!

Id be in the pool all the time if I could and felt that way since I was 5. The love of water turned to speed and afforded the ability to train with olympians and world record holders, earning myself a place alongside those exceptional athletes in the finals of the 2004 Olympic trials. Since then I appreciated the opportunity to develop swim lesson programs for an early childhood center/community center, but I feel a greater sense of accomplishment when I teach, having taught ages 3 to 72 and assistant coached a team of 250+ swimmers in middle and high school. I feel lessons are most effective when we can create a comfortable environment to encourage openness to learning, and use my experience to tailor lessons to each individual.
