Hi! I’m excited to help you feel more comfortable and confident in the water.
At 14, I began working as a swim instructor and lifeguard at the YMCA. I continued competitive club swimming through high school and college while also working part-time as a swim coach.
After college, I moved to Maui to continue helping others build confidence in the water. Here, I’ve taught children swimming skills in pools and worked with non-swimmers in the ocean, helping them get acclimated and feel more comfortable in Kihei’s waters. I also maintain a current CPR certification.
My approach is patient, encouraging, and tailored to you. Whether you’re learning your first swimming skills or becoming more comfortable in the ocean, we’ll take it one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you.
Send your preferred dates and times, your hotel, condo, or home pool location, and each swimmer’s age, experience, and goals. Choose a private 45-minute pool lesson, a 45-minute group lesson, or a one-hour private ocean lesson.
We’ll reply to discuss availability, your lesson plan, and pricing. For pool lessons, we’ll confirm that the property allows paid outside instruction. Ocean sessions require a suitable authorized location and conditions.
Once the arrangements are agreed, we’ll send the confirmed time, location, preparation information, and any payment instructions before you commit. Submitting a request is an inquiry, not a confirmed booking.
Private and group swim lessons are for children and adults looking to feel more comfortable and safe in the water. Share your age, experience, and goals when you inquire so your instructor can discuss the right fit.
A 45-minute private pool lesson is $110 for one swimmer. Shared 45-minute group pool lessons are $150 total for two swimmers or $180 total for three swimmers. A 60-minute private ocean lesson is $150 for one swimmer. Larger groups are quoted individually. Final arrangements and pricing are confirmed before you commit; sending an inquiry does not reserve a lesson.
Private pool lessons for children and adults are 45 minutes. Group pool lessons are also 45 minutes for the shared session. Private ocean lessons are 60 minutes. We’ll discuss the right format for each swimmer before confirming.
Group lessons can be arranged for children, adults, siblings, friends, or families visiting Maui together. Share the number of swimmers, ages, experience, and preferred location. Group size, supervision, suitability, and pricing will be discussed before a session is confirmed. Property permission and operating approvals must be in place.
Yes—coming to your accommodation is the main idea. Share your Maui travel dates, available times, and hotel or condo name when you inquire. We’ll discuss a personal one-on-one lesson or a group arrangement. Every visit depends on availability, property permission for paid outside instruction, and completed operating arrangements.
No prior swimming experience is needed to inquire about a private pool lesson. Lessons support children and adults building foundational skills or developing confidence. Your instructor will discuss your starting point before confirming a session. Ocean lessons have separate suitability requirements.
In some cases, a private beach lesson may be arranged. This is discussed individually and depends on the swimmer’s needs and ability, an authorized location, required operating permissions, and suitable ocean conditions. The location is agreed individually before confirmation. Pool lessons at your accommodation remain our main focus.
A 60-minute one-on-one ocean lesson with your instructor, separate from the 45-minute pool lessons. Share your swimming experience and goals when you request a session. We’ll discuss suitability, the lesson plan, and an authorized location before confirming; sessions depend on required permissions and suitable ocean conditions.
