About Olivia

My goal is for every student to leave each lesson feeling more confident, capable, and comfortable in the water. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and encouraging, and I always prioritize a student’s comfort and safety throughout the learning process.

I have experience swimming and working with swimmers at different skill levels, and I am passionate about helping others develop their confidence and abilities in the water. Through my own experience as a swimmer, I have developed a strong understanding of swimming fundamentals, technique, and water safety.

I am an American Red Cross certified lifeguard with professional experience as a swim instructor at Westside Aquatics. I also hold an online First Aid certification, giving me additional training in safety and emergency response. These certifications and experiences allow me to provide students with knowledgeable, responsible, and safety-focused swim instruction.

About the lesson

My approach to teaching swimming is patient, encouraging, and personalized to each swimmer’s comfort level and goals. I focus on creating a positive environment where students can build confidence in the water while learning proper technique and water safety.

Teaching Method & Techniques:
I break down swimming skills into simple, manageable steps and demonstrate each skill before having the student practice it. I use repetition, encouragement, and personalized feedback to help students improve while making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout the lesson. I adjust my teaching style depending on the swimmer’s experience, confidence, and learning pace.

Typical Lesson Plan:
Each lesson begins with a quick warm-up and review of skills from the previous session. We then introduce or practice specific skills such as floating, kicking, breathing, strokes, treading water, or water safety. The second half of the lesson focuses on practicing these skills through different exercises and activities. I end each lesson by reviewing progress and identifying what we can work on next time.

What Sets Me Apart:
I prioritize both skill development and confidence. I understand that every swimmer learns differently, so I take the time to make lessons comfortable, engaging, and suited to the individual. My goal is not only to teach students how to swim, but also to help them feel safe, independent, and confident in the water.

Who the Lessons Are For:
My lessons are designed for beginner and developing swimmers of different ages and experience levels. I can work with students who are completely new to swimming, those who want to become more comfortable in the water, and swimmers looking to improve their basic technique and swimming skills.
