Swimming Lessons in College Park, MD

Before moving forward, please understand that my pool is in Bowie, MD. You must be willing to drive to Bowie, MD for lessons/training. With a competitive swimming background from middle school through NCAA Division 1, I bring not only elite-level experience but also the patience of a parent, the structure of a classroom teacher, and a deep passion for sharing the life-saving skill of swimming. I specialize in helping swimmers of all ages—particularly those 8 and older, as well as adults—overcome fear, build confidence, and develop strong technique. Whether you’re looking for lifeguard preparation, military swim test training, fitness-based swim workouts, or triathlon training, I can create a personalized plan to help you reach your goals. I take pride in guiding hesitant beginners into becoming capable, confident swimmers who not only feel safe in the water but can also take their skills to the next level—whether that’s joining a swim team, passing a lifeguard or military swim test, or even getting SCUBA certified. Book a session today and take the first step toward swimming with confidence!

TEACHING A LIFE SKILL! Hi! I’m a Certified Water Safety Instructor (WSI), Lifeguard, and CPR/AED certified professional with years of experience teaching swimming in both pools and beach settings. I specialize in working with adults and children helping you build confidence and getting you moving in the water doing a lot of repetition on survival mode, which is swimming on the back along with freestyle and breaststroke etc. Adults come to swim thinking "I can’t do that” or “I’m not coordinated.” I quickly turn those doubts into “I will be great at this!” My goal is for every adult/child to leave each lesson feeling confident and with the best experience.
