My Background

I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico swimming on swim teams from the age of 6 years old. My coaches quickly instilled in me the mantra, “You don’t have to do hard work.. You get to!” which completely shaped my work ethic growing up.

From a young age, I was taught that the most effective way to learn something new, especially something that’s difficult, is to make the activity fun & challenging. When I became a teenager, I began coaching swim teams myself, all while remaining a full time swimmer. It became apparent that students at differing developmental ages learn in a variety of ways. I spent the next 7 years coaching summer and high school swim teams.

In my early 20’s, I sharpened my instructing abilities by working as a group fitness instructor, yoga instructor & personal trainer. Through working with a wide range of demographics, I found the opportunities to engage in different teaching modalities.

In my mid 20’s, I moved up to Colorado, and began working as a swim instructor at swim schools. I discovered that by integrating what I had learned from my prior teaching & personal swimming experiences, I could create powerful & personalized lessons for my clients.

Soon after, I began managing a few of these swim schools where I had the opportunity to see the ins-and-outs of the industry up close. While there are a million wonderful things to say about the swim schools I worked at, there are some glaring deficiencies in the industry that have yet to be addressed. Expensive lessons, inconsistent instruction, inexperienced instructors, & curriculums designed to take multiple years to complete; these are a handful of the problems that swim school parents face regularly.

This brings us to today - I’ve gathered up a team of highly experienced swimming professionals to resolve the long-standing issues within the swim lesson industry. Swimplify is here to make swimming simple & give you the results you’re looking for - fast!
