About Me

I’m a certified swim instructor based in Austin, TX (78748) with years of experience helping both kids and adults learn how to swim with confidence. I've taught at a high level in structured environments and now offer private lessons directly to families — either at their home pool or at my apartment pool in South Austin.

My journey in swimming began at the age of 8, and I’ve competed through various club teams and all the way into high school. In college, I continued with a competitive club team where I specialized in breaststroke — a stroke I’ve come to truly understand and love.

With over a decade of experience as a swim instructor, I’ve worked with swimmers of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're just getting started or refining advanced technique, I focus on building strong fundamentals, developing water confidence, and making every lesson both productive and enjoyable.

My Approach

"I believe swimming should be fun, exciting, and empowering at every stage. My approach focuses on building a strong foundation — emphasizing fundamentals before moving into advanced skills. These basics are the building blocks of developing a good feel for the water and long-term success in swimming. I teach that to swim fast, you must first learn to swim slow — with control, awareness, and purpose. Every lesson is focused, intentional, and designed to help meet your goals."

Why I Do This

"Swimming is more than just a sport — it’s a powerful teacher of life lessons. It shows us that getting better at something requires effort, consistency, and resilience. Through swimming, we learn the value of discipline, commitment, and sacrifice — all of which are essential traits for success both in and out of the pool. t. My goal is to help others grow not just as swimmers, but as a strong, competitive individuals prepared to take on life's challenges."
