How Just Keep Swimming School Came To Be

Welcome to Just Keep Swimming School!

I grew up in Southern California, where beach days and pool hangs were basically a way of life. My mom made sure my sister and I had plenty of fun in the water — but she also made water safety a big deal. Even so, it wasn’t until I was about five that I really learned how to swim.

Truth is, I struggled with swimming as a kid. I didn’t click with my instructors, got totally distracted in big group lessons, and honestly? I was afraid of the water. Everything changed when I met a swim instructor who really saw me. He took the time to work with me one-on-one, listened to my fears, and helped me build confidence step by step. Before I knew it, I wasn’t just swimming — I was thriving.

Before starting my own school, I worked as a nanny and babysitter while going to school, and I loved being around kids. When I started teaching swim lessons, something just clicked. I realized this was my thing — helping kids feel safe, confident, and proud of themselves in the water. That’s when the dream of Just Keep Swimming School really came to life.

Now, I get to share my love of swimming every day and help little swimmers grow into strong, confident fishies 🐠 I can’t wait to cheer your child on and see all the progress they make!
