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.

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.

Swimming has always been a passion of mine as I was a competitive swimmer for 14 years. I love teaching swimming because it is rewarding to watch my clients learn a lifelong skill.

Hi Im Asher :P
I have been a lifeguard/swim instructor for 3 years at the YMCA. I have been able to help so many people learn to swim, and each one has been such a fun journey. I have experience with everyone from infants to 65+ year-olds. I really value making whoever I teach feel safe and comfortable in the water. Everyone is so different, and at a different level, but no matter where you are I will meet you and be so happy to help.
Hello! My name is John Kinsey. I was a competitive swimmer for six years and was a lifeguard during the last four of those years. As a lifeguard, I had the opportunity to teach swim lessons. I teach a wide range of children, from kids afraid to get in the water to advanced swimming. I believe swimming is an excellent activity to engage children and to keep them in good health. My competitive swimming experience gave me a passion for the water and the know-how to pass it on.
