Swimming Lessons in Tampa

Hi, I'm Ashley! I am originally from the United Kingdom and moved to Florida in August 2025. Swimming has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, with several members of my family working as swim instructors. Growing up around the pool helped develop my passion for swimming, water safety, and teaching others. I earned my swim teaching qualifications in the UK at the beginning of 2025 and previously worked as a lifeguard, giving me a strong foundation in both water safety and swimmer development. My teaching approach focuses first on building confidence and safety skills in the water. I believe that helping swimmers understand how to stay calm and react safely in challenging situations creates the foundation for successful swimming and lifelong enjoyment of the water. I strive to create a positive, encouraging, and fun learning environment where every swimmer feels comfortable progressing at their own pace. Whether a swimmer is just getting started or looking to improve their skills, my goal is to help them become confident, safe, and capable in the water.

Hi there! I have been a swim instructor since July 2020, and I am a certified lifeguard and WSI. I am highly experienced with all ages from infant (mommy and me classes) to adult. I have the most experience with 8 months-14 years old. I teach swim safety, beginning swimmer skills, intermediate swim skills, and advanced 4 Olympic stroke knowledge. I love swimming as a personal hobby/exercise. I have a deep love for the water and I love to teach people the proper way to love it too, while teaching an essential life-long safety skills. I am in college and was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I am comfortable around all cultures/backgrounds. I love teaching outgoing kids, shy-to-themselves kids, smart kids, silly kids, hyper-active kids, happy babies, grumpy babies and every kind of preteen-adult there is!

Hi, I'm Tevin! I have been lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons for over 10 years. I worked for 4 independent swim companies, lifeguarded and help coach for the Crimson Aquatics swim team in Boston Massachusetts. I have taught all ages from 2-14 years old. I have taught adults 60+ and group adult lessons. I use drills, skills, kickboard work, fun and reflection on how to get better after the lesson. The adults lessons will have the same principles but I will hold them accountable for their stroke and water development to be comfortable, consistent, and correct. I call myself Splash G.A.W.D. because I graciously alter water development.
