Sydney H.
Hi! My name is Sydney, and I'm a certified lifeguard and swim instructor with three years of experience teaching swim lessons and ensuring water safety at District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) pools. I love helping swimmers build confidence in the water while making lessons fun, supportive, and safe. Whether your child is learning to swim for the first time or looking to improve their technique, I'm committed to helping them reach their goals at their own pace.
